Family Learning Pages

It has been lovely to invite so many parents into school this week – I hope those of you who have already had your appointment found it helpful to meet your child’s teacher and see the classroom. We are looking forward to the appointments still to come. I also wanted to remind you about the family learning pages on the school website (click here). These provide lots of ideas for learning from home for Nursery-P7 pupils.

 

Don’t Forget School and Nursery are closed to pupils on Friday 18th November for an inset day. Our Pupil Support Assistants will be taking part in Child Protection Training, our Early Years Officers are taking part in training relating to Personal Learning Planning and our Teachers are attending a moderation session with colleagues from across the Madras Cluster as well as an input on French from Madras colleagues.

 

Flu Vaccine Message from NHS

Dear parent/carer,

All children aged 2 to 5 years and Primary and Secondary school children are eligible for a flu vaccine this winter (children must be aged 2 years or above on 1 September 2022 to be eligible). If your child has missed their flu vaccination appointment and you want to rearrange this, please call the number on their invitation letter or call 0800 030 8013.  There is still time for your child to have the flu vaccine this winter. It’s not too late.

The flu vaccine is an easy, painless and safe way to help protect your child this winter. Children aged 2 years and older are usually given the flu vaccine as a quick nasal spray into each nostril. The vaccine offers protection against the most common types of flu virus that are around each winter. Even healthy children can become seriously ill from flu.

For more information visit www.nhsinform.scot/childflu or call 0800 030 8013.
