Fishergate children – can you help?

Dear Fishergate Children,

I wasn’t going to write to you in the Easter holidays but I have a very important job that some of you might like to do.

Mrs Hemlin, one of our Key Stage 1 teaching assistants, has a friend who works at a care home off Fulford Road. Some of the elderly residents are feeling very lonely because they are not getting any visits from their friends and family and they are becoming quite withdrawn.

The care home think that it would really cheer their residents up if they were sent letters/pictures/poems or anything else that you could think of. If you would like to help then please send whatever you decide to do to: connaughtactivities@rmbi.org.uk

Thank youMrs Clarke

Public Health England letter about winter illness

At this time of year it is not unusual for schools across the region to see an increase in winter illnesses such as diarrhoea/vomiting and flu-like illness.

Please take a moment to read the following information and guidance for parents and carers regarding winter illness, issued by the Yorkshire & Humber Health Protection Team of Public Health England*. We would ask parents and carers to pay particular attention to the requirement that children who are affected by diarrhoea and vomiting should stay off school until at least 48 hours after they last had diarrhoea or vomiting.
