Message from the HeadWeek 6 – Autumn b

Dear Parents/ Carers,

The children are about to enter the final few weeks in the run up to the Christmas holidays. If you have been keeping an eye on the diary you will have noticed that there is lots happening. We appreciate that this time of year is busy both in and out of school therefore children are more tired than usual. We will try our best to keep things as calm as can be, but as you will probably know from experience this is very hard with excitable children.

We are all looking forward to seeing many of you over the next few weeks at different events, the first being our nativity on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Congratulations to our football team who secured a place in the final today at the English Football League Under 11 Cup competition. As Mrs Bagg pointed out “they did not lose they came runners up.” As a team they played well and supported one another. They were a fantastic representation of school and we are all very proud of them.

Enjoy the weekend

Mrs Long

Parental engagement focus: Keeping our children safe campaign

As you can see Nicole is extremely pleased with the banner we have had made in her design in the hope to slow down our drivers around school. As the dark nights draw in she along with others recognizes the importance of this and her message is clear “SLOW DOWN”. Both Nicole and the children in school would like your support with this matter.

This is a prime example of our children taking action in the community.

Value for this half term

“Trust yourself, you know more than you think.” (Benjamin Spock)

Can you remember an occasion when you surprised yourself by what you were able to achieve?

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections such as meningitis, tuberculosis and pneumonia. They do not work on viruses, so antibiotics cannot treat infections such as colds and flu. Bacteria are continually adapting to develop new ways of withstanding antibiotic treatment. This is called antibiotic resistance and is one of the biggest threats facing us today.

Antibiotic resistance can then spread between different bacteria in our bodies. Antibiotic resistant bacteria can be carried by healthy or ill people and can spread to others. Overuse and misuse of antibiotics is a major factor that causes antibiotic resistance. The more often a person takes antibiotics, the more likely they are to develop antibiotic resistant bacteria in the body. To reduce this risk, it is important that antibiotics are taken only when necessary and that patients follow advice given by the doctor, nurse or pharmacist.

There are simple actions you can take to help keep antibiotics working: Don’t ask for antibiotics if you have a cough or cold. Antibiotics

should only be taken for bacterial infections. Many infections get better on their own, without the need for antibiotics. Go to your pharmacist for advice first and they may be able to help with your symptoms.

If the doctor does prescribe you with antibiotics, take them exactly as prescribed; never save them for later and never share them with others.

Spread the word. Tell your friends and family about antibiotic resistance.

You can also help prevent infections spreading by: Using tissues and disposing of them when you sneeze. Washing hands thoroughly with soap, especially after you have

used a tissue or sneezed into your hand. Get the flu vaccine if you or your child are eligible.

Reminders*Please if you have not paid for your child to attend a club this half term we request that your outstanding contributions are paid before signing your child up to next half terms opportunities.
