Newsletter – 9th November, 2020
| An update on the youngest member of our All Saints’ The Morton family have now decided on a name! In the end it was big brother Oliver who was left with the huge responsibility. Oliver is the perfect big brother and has named his baby brother Harry Morton!
If anyone would like to send in a card/gift, please do place it in the box next to the gate when you drop off or pick up your child. We will pass them on to Mrs Morton by Wednesday 11th November. |
| OUR NEW SCHOOL VIDEO In our opinion MBI Visuals have done an absolutely FANTASTIC job!! Of course, it was made easy because they were filming your children who are all superstars!! We very much appreciate MBI Visuals volunteering to create this fabulous video for us which truly showcases our wonderful school. A poster and link to the video has been sent to all our local pre-school providers so they can see a snapshot of what our school has to offer. If you are aware of anyone who has a child due to start school in September 2021, please signpost them to the video on our website.
Again, we give a HUGE THANK YOU to MBI Visuals.

| Improvements Around School Welcome to The Junk Yard! We have decided to develop an area that is a little risky; where children can foster their independence, creativity and make ‘things’ from wooden planks, pallets, tyres, drainpipes and the like. It is time for the children to become architects, designers, den builders, game makers and explorers! We hope this new site will grow into something special at All Saints’ as we continue our current drive for outdoor play and adventure.

| Road Safety!
A Road Safety team from the Local Authority will be coming to lead a Road Safety Workshop with our yr2, yr4 and yr6 children. The workshop will help to raise our children’s awareness of how to remain safe when walking and how to cross roads sensibly.
Please continue to encourage your children to remain on the pavement when walking and continue to collect your children from the pavement on the school side.
See the following video as a basis for your discussion with your child: https://www.stockport.gov.uk/road-safety-education-and-training-in-stockport |

Parents are able to form a childcare bubble with one other household for the purposes of informal childcare, where the child is 13 or under. Some households will also be able to benefit from being in a support bubble, which allows single adult households to join another household.
It is usual for individuals to develop a temperature following a vaccination, with this being quite transitory, only lasting for a limited period of time. A fever is a temperature over 38°C. Fevers are quite common in young children, but are usually mild. The development of a fever post vaccine shows that the individual’s body is responding to the vaccine, and it doesn’t mean that the vaccine hasn’t worked, or that they have developed COVID symptoms. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachmen t_data/file/853210/PHE_what_to_expect_after_vaccination_English.pdf
The vaccines may cause a mild fever which usually resolves within 48 hours (or 6 to 11 days following MMR). This is a common, expected reaction and isolation is not required, unless COVID-19 is strongly suspected.
