Happy New Year to all of our families at North Queensferry Primary. We hope you all had a relaxing but fun filled festive break.

This week we have loved hearing all the stories and experiences of the pupils as they return to begin term 3.  There is a lot of great learning to be had this term and we look forward to sharing these  opportunities with you all.

Advice to parents and carers

Parents and carers may be concerned about scarlet fever and other group A strep infections. Public Health Scotland has published information about the situation in Scotland.

It can be difficult to tell the difference between a minor illness which can be cared for safely at home, and the small number of infections that are more serious and require specific medical treatment. NHS Inform is a reliable resource for health advice, including how to safely look after unwell children, when to seek medical advice, and what to look out for. In particular:

• Group A strep information and advice, which also links to information specifically about scarlet fever
• Self-help guides for illnesses, including for sore throat
• General winter ailments advice

The premier of our Nativity performance took place yesterday. A huge congratulations to all of our young people for their commitment and enthusiasm during the performance (audience participation wasn’t too bad either!)

A great deal of work goes into these performances and we hope you see that shine through.

We look forward to our final performance on Thursday night at 5.30pm.

Well done everyone!
