DAMAGE
TO SAND PIT COVER – CAN YOU HELP?
Unfortunately the sandpit
cover in the foundation area has been stamped on and broken by an older
child. We wondered if there was a kind
hearted parent with some carpentry skills who would be able to repair this for
us? Please let the office know.
SICKNESS & DIARRHOEA
We would like to remind
parents that the school follows the guidance of the Health Protection Agency
(HPA) that children who are suffering from sickness and/or diarrhoea should remain off school for 48 hours after the last bout of sickness or diarrhoea. If your
child was not sick due to a virus/bacteria infection, but for example was sick
due to congestion then your child should be ok to return within 24 hours if
they are well enough.
SMALL TIGHTS NEEDED PLEASE
The Reception classes could
do with some pairs of small school tights to use for spare, if you have any
please just drop them into the Reception classes or Office. Thank you.
