Dear parents/carers,

I would like to keep you updated regarding Polkemmet Nursery Class plans to re-open on the 12^th August 2020.

Ready to return – Our primary focus has been the physical safety, mental and emotional wellbeing of children and staff, in planning our return to nursery. We know that some families may have found the lockdown very difficult, we all have different levels of worry or anxiety about our return to nursery, this is normal. Our planning will put wellbeing at the heart of our nursery return and curriculum.

We are immensely proud of our children and we thank you, the parent and carers for your understanding and resilience throughout.

Top tips to help manage the risk of asthma attacks from NHS Lothian

Each year we see an increase in asthma attacks in children when they return to school which often result in admission to hospital.  Check out our top tips to try and avoid this happening.

 Remember, asthma attacks are serious and you need to get help day or night if your child is not responding to their blue inhaler.

Good morning boys and girls. Hope you are all safe and well. It’s the last day of term. It’s been a strange and unusual term hasn’t it? We are sad that we didn’t see you this term, but we are so glad to have spoken to you on the phone. It was lovely to hear all your stories. It’s a shame we didn’t get to do more learning together in school but we are proud of how hard you have tried to work at home. We hope you have a fantastic summer holiday. We will see you all again in August. Stay safe and have fun everyone! Mrs Reid and Mrs Bashir!
