WORLD BOOK DAY

This year we are holding a vocabulary parade. All staff and pupils are invited to come to school dressed as a word and we will be completing ‘word’ themed activities throughout the day.

We look forward to seeing all of your amazing costumes and we thank you in advance for helping us make this a success.

Congratulations to Alisha in year 4 Peridot who won a years subscription to Beano magazine. She created a superhero comic strip to enter the competition that was part

of the National Literacy trust's 'Inspiring Parents' scheme.

CORONAVIRUS CONCERNS

You’re likely aware of the outbreak of a coronavirus in China and the subsequent confirmed cases in the UK. At Carrwood Primary we take the health & safety of our pupils and staff very seriously so we’re sharing guidance from Public Health England on steps you should be taking.

There’s currently no cause for concern at the school, but we’ll keep you informed about any developments and ensure we’re keeping the school clean to prevent the spread of any virus.

To prevent the spread of infection make sure you and your children follow these general principles to prevent spreading any respiratory virus: · Wash your hands often – with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or an alcohol-based sanitiser if soap and water aren’t available · Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands · Avoid close contact with people who are sick · If you feel unwell, stay at home and don’t attend work or school · Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in a bin · Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces in the home If you’re worried about your symptoms, please call NHS 111 – don’t go directly to your GP or other healthcare environment. · For further information visit the Public Health England Blog and the NHS UK website.

ASPIRATIONS DAY

Today we celebrated ‘Aspirations Day’. We had guests from a wide range of professions come and spend the day with us, talking about their jobs.

We would like to say a big ‘Thank You’ to all the guests who came to join us, it was a fantastic day and each of you helped to inspire our children!

Here at Carrwood Primary School we are always looking for new ways to support our children both in and out of school. As PSHE leader, I would therefore like to tell you about a website called ‘mindmate’: https://www.mindmate.org.uk/

Mindmate is a free website, supported by the NHS, to help young people understand how they are feeling and help find them the right advice and support.

Mindmate supports young people with a range of issues such as stress (especially SATs stress), loneliness,, anxiety, bullying, self-image and bereavement.

Not only does it educate children in understanding when to ask for help/ support, but it also gives them tips in dealing with these issues, whilst offering helplines/ support services.

There is also lots of information for parents/ carers to help you approach and support your children with these difficult issues.
