Updates from Mrs Norden

I have a couple of reminders this week to help keep our children safe. 

The first is linked to medication and our medical protocols.  We are experiencing large numbers of children requiring medication for hay fever amongst other medical needs and whilst we want the children to be well, we also need to ensure safety for all. 

It is vitally important that any medication arrives to school in its original packaging and a medicine form is completed as per our policy which can be accessed here. Medicines must be given to the class adult or the office staff and cannot be kept in a child's bag.  This last part is incredibly important to ensure other children do not have access to the medication which could lead to an adverse reaction if they swallow/apply it.

Secondly, due to the hot weather please can the children be reminded to have a hat in school to wear during PE sessions and playtimes, apply sun cream before they come to school and have a full water bottle.  If the children bring sun cream in to school to reapply, it must be in a named bottle/package, the children must be able to apply it themselves, and they must be reminded not to share it with others in case of allergic reactions. 

The remainder of the newsletter is full of updates so please keep reading.  We have only had a few donations for our summer fair next week so please see below our requests and help if you can.
