Oh No!

Room 5 has been struck by a vomiting bug.  

So it's time for a couple of gentle reminders

- If your child is complaining of a funny tummy please keep them at home.  There are 24 kids in room 5 which means 24 families that bugs can spread to - and 2 of those families have new born babies.  I understand the pressures of being a working parent, I am one, but  please be considerate of the other working parents in our Room 5 team.

- It's a good time to check that the school has up-to-date contact information.  If something happens at school, or your kid becomes unwell, we need to be able to contact you.

- The Ministry Guidelines tend to suggest that kids do not come back to school for 24-48 hours after the last episode of vomiting.  Thanks for your help.

- Double check that your child knows how                                                                                             to wash their hands properly.
