  EGG DAY

   

  We are EGGCITED to let you know that we will be having SOUTH PARADE’S EGG DAY on Friday 8^th April.

   

   Please encourage your child to think about their design for the day and prepare what they will need to bring with them. Your child will need to bring hard-boiled eggs on FRIDAY 8^TH APRIL (in secure packaging – egg boxes are perfect), the number of eggs depends on the design, but allowing for breakages an extra egg will be invaluable.

   

  Your child will also need to bring any resources (sequins/feathers/tissue paper/paint etc.) needed to construct the design at the school. Please help your child to think of a suitable name for the design (eggstinct/ eggciting/eggsample are past names).  We will only judge the designs that are made on the day in school. We have attached a PowerPoint (see noticeboard on website) with lots of examples from past entries to give you some inspiration. We look forward to seeing what the children come up with this year!

   

  Nursery and Reception children - please wait to hear from your child's class teacher for their plans for EGG DAY.

   

  The egg designs will be displayed in each classroom and the children will be able to go round and look at other children’s designs.

  We will take lots of photographs to share with you all.

   

  There will be prizes!!

   

  Thank you as always for your support.

• Covid-19 guidance

  Mon 14 Mar 2022

  We are aware that current Covid-19 guidance seems to be a little confusing so would just like to clarify the latest guidance from the government. We ask for your support as unfortunately we have a rise in cases in school amongst staff and pupils and we need to do everything possible to prevent further spread.

  Please note that the following Covid-19 government guidance was updated on 24th February. 

   

  Know the symptoms of COVID-19

  The main symptoms of COVID-19 are a recent onset of any of the following:

  • a new continuous cough
  • a high temperature
  • a loss of, or change in, your normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia)

  If you have any of these symptoms you should order a PCR test.

  You are advised to stay at home and avoid contact with other people while you are waiting for the test result. You should also follow this advice if you have a positive LFD test result, even if you do not have any symptoms.

   

  Other symptoms linked with COVID-19 include shortness of breath, fatigue, loss of appetite, muscle ache, sore throat, headache, stuffy or runny nose, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting. Any of these symptoms may also have another cause.

   

  Most children and young people with COVID-19 experience a mild illness or do not have any symptoms at all. Children who have symptoms of COVID-19 are more likely to pass the virus onto others than those who do not.

   

   

  What to do if you have COVID-19

  The most effective way to avoid passing on COVID-19 infection is to stay at home and avoid contact with other people.

   

  When someone with COVID-19 breathes, speaks, coughs or sneezes, they release small particles (droplets and aerosols) that contain the virus that causes COVID-19. These particles can come into contact with the eyes, nose or mouth or can be breathed in by another person. The particles can also land on surfaces and be passed from person to person via touch.

  The risk of catching or passing on COVID-19 can be higher in certain places and when doing certain activities such as singing or vigorous exercise. In general, the risk of catching or passing on COVID-19 is highest when you are physically close to someone who is infected.

  However, it is possible to be infected even by someone you do not have close contact with, especially if you are in a crowded, enclosed or poorly ventilated space. This is because the infectious particles can stay suspended in the air for some time.

   

  If you have COVID-19, stay at home and avoid contact with other people

  If you have COVID-19 you can infect other people from 2 days before your symptoms start, and for up to 10 days after. You can pass on the infection to others, even if you have mild symptoms or no symptoms at all.

  If you have COVID-19 you should stay at home and avoid contact with other people. You should also follow this advice If you have a positive LFD test result, even if you do not have any symptoms.

   

  Many people will no longer be infectious to others after 5 days. You may choose to take an LFD test from 5 days after your symptoms started (or the day your test was taken if you did not have symptoms) followed by another LFD test the next day. If both these test results are negative, and you do not have a high temperature, the risk that you are still infectious is much lower and you can safely return to your normal routine.

   

  If your day 5 LFD test result is positive, you can continue taking LFD tests until you receive 2 consecutive negative test results.

   

  Children and young people with COVID-19 should not attend their education setting while they are infectious. They should take a LFD test from 5 days after their symptoms started (or the day their test was taken if they did not have symptoms) followed by another one the next day. If both these tests results are negative, they should return to their educational setting if they normally attend one, as long as they feel well enough to do so and do not have a temperature.

   

  Thank you for your ongoing support.
