This vaccination is recommended to help protect your child against flu. Flu can be an unpleasant illness and can cause serious complications. Vaccinating your child will also help protect more vulnerable family and friends by preventing the spread of Flu. There may be a rebound in Flu levels this coming winter following low levels in the past 2 years. The vaccination is free and is a quick, simple, painless spray up the nose. Our vaccinations in school will take place on Monday 14th September.

If you DO NOT wish your child to be vaccinated for whatever reason please complete the form stating NO and the reasons.

We are very excited to welcome you all back to school this week. Mrs Carragher, Miss Slater and I, Mrs Hotchkiss, will be waiting for you on Tuesday morning. We look forward to a year full of wonderful learning and life long memories!

The children only need bring their water bottles, snacks (healthy) and smiles!

Other things to note:

Indoor PE days will be on a Monday. Outdoor PE on a Wednesday with Ms Lavelle. We recommend that no earrings are worn on PE days to save your child needing to take them out. Please come to school in your tracksuit. Make sure you wear your shorts underneath you tracksuit bottoms on Monday - for quick and modest changing. Shorts are essential for gymnastics.

Art is on Wednesday- please remember to bring in your art tops to stop your uniform from getting paint on- we will keep this in your new individual Year 2 tray.

Homework- will go out on Tuesday afternoons and will be due in the following Monday.
