Reminders…
 
Threadworms
It has been reported to us that there are cases of Threadworms in school.  Some of the symptoms might not necessarily be as obvious as you think, please have a read of the link below and follow any advice needed.
 
We really appreciate it when families let us know if they are experiencing conditions such as Threadworms as this means we can take precautionary measures in school, for example throwing away any old playdough or sand.  Please continue to advise us, thank you.

Headlice- NITS
We have a significant outbreak of headlice in school, please can we ask everyone to check hair throughout families and treat all cases over the weekend. A reminder that a follow up treatment is needed a week later to ensure all eggs and lice are treated. A nit comb is also advisable to remove dead eggs and lice from hair after treatment.

Waterproof coats
We have been caught out by showers a few times this week, we like to spend as much time outside as possible, children do need to have a waterproof coat with them every day.
