Reading with your child/children
As a school, this year, we are focussing on developing our teaching of reading and inspiring our children to develop a love of reading by supporting them to become fluent readers and offering an enticing, exciting and wide range of books and articles. We have also invested in new phonics resources to support our teaching of early reading and in the Accelerated Reading Programme for our KS2 readers as well as training for our staff.
Research shows that reading is the foundation for all good learners enabling them to access all areas of the curriculum as they move through their school journey.
Therefore, it is not surprising that research also shows that, as a parent, reading to or with your child/ren is the single most important thing you can do to help your child’s education.
I recently came across this useful little guide for parents which has 10 creative, easy, practical ways to help your child/ren.

Respiratory infections (including COVID-19) |
Recommended period to be kept away from school, nursery or childminders |

If your child/ren have symptoms of a respiratory infection (such as COVID-19) and have a high temperature and/or do not feel well enough to go to school or carry out normal activities, stay at home and avoid contact with other people, until they no longer have a high temperature and feel well enough to return to school.
|
If your child/ren are feeling unwell with these symptoms, they should get plenty of rest and drink water to keep hydrated. They can use medications such as paracetamol to help with their symptoms. Antibiotics are not recommended for viral respiratory infections because they will not relieve their symptoms or speed up their recovery.
You do not have to take a COVID-19 test.

COVID-19 As we learn to live with COVID, testing is no longer compulsory, and tests are not universally available. Everyone is encouraged to follow the recommendations for a respiratory infection (see above) to keep themselves and others safe. |
Positive COVID-19 test result Children are advised to stay away from school for 3 days. Adults are advised to stay away from school for 5 days. |
