NHS Lothian Winter Respiratory Illness

Dear Parent/Carers

The following advice below has been issued by NHS Lothian to help reduce the outbreaks of respiratory infections.

Key advice for parents and carers
In the home the risk of catching or spreading flu/cold like illness can be reduced by:
• Regular hand washing with liquid soap and running water
• Covering nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing
• Using a disposable paper tissue, disposed off immediately after use.
• You can teach your child to sneeze into the ‘crook’ of their arm rather than their hands, if they don’t have a tissue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQINuSTP1jI
• Good general cleaning of surface that everyone touches often e.g. TV remote, light switches, door handles, toilet flushes and tap heads.

Children should not return to school until completely well and 48 hours after symptoms have ceased.

Thank You

This week we have been learning about bossy verbs so we could write our instructions on how to make a jam sandwich.  Bossy verbs are called imperative verbs and there is no please or thank you just being bossy!  Once we had written our instructions we used them to try and make our sandwich.

We have also been learning about what shapes can and can not tile.  We used what we knew about some 2D shapes to guess then we used the shapes to see if we were right.  We then made our own tiling pattern.
