Rhino Class – important update

We just wanted to let Rhino class and families know that Miss Beauchamp is going to be teaching the class for 2 weeks from 20th April. The class are very familiar with Miss Beauchamp as she already has them two days a week, so this will keep the learning and routines very consistent for them. Mr Glover needs to take some time at home to support his wife who is having a major operation for this period of time. I know you will join me to wish him and his wife all the best with the operation and her on-going treatment for breast cancer.

Stepping Out – feedback from Shropshire Council

We thought it would be nice to share this lovely feedback on how well our children did in their recent pedestrian training. Thank you to all our parents who volunteered to help make this possible:

‘Stepping Out’ Pedestrian Training – Report and School Feedback (Spring Term 2023) Date of training: 24 & 31 January 2023 Year groups participating: Year 3, 4 and 5

Road Safety Officer’s Report – Ray Hughes

The School

Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to return to deliver the full ‘Stepping Out’ pedestrian training scheme on behalf of Shropshire Council. I benefited from fantastic support from Mr Glover, Mrs Crowe and their Support Staff plus a super set of parents recruited for the observed walk. Thank you also for preparing the children so well in the classroom to compliment the practical training.

The children

The children engaged very well in the training and all the observers commented how fantastic they were on their observed walks. Good listening skills and excellent (safe) roadside behaviour. All thoroughly deserved their certificates.

Strike Action

You have probably seen on the news a lot of information about teacher strikes. I just wanted to let you know that to the best of our knowledge, none of the teachers at Myddle will be striking. If we are given any different information from union representatives, we will let you know.

Shropshire Music Service – all ensembles now free to attend!

As you know, we buy into the Shropshire Music Service at school and benefit from their fantastic teacher Mrs Kessel-Fell, as well as peripatetic instrument teachers. Did you know that you can also join bands, choirs and other ensembles out of school? The brilliant news is that from January, these are now free!! I can’t recommend these highly enough – the teaching is second to none, your children will make new friends and have so much fun. It improves their playing so much being in an ensemble so if your child is enjoying their music in school, please consider taking the next step and joining a group.

New Nursery Leader

We are really pleased to let you know that Clare Evans will be taking over as our nursery leader in January. Clare already works with our Snow-leopards every Friday and as a TA in school the rest of the week. Clare has had extensive nursery experience prior to joining Myddle and can’t wait to get back into a nursery setting. Clare knows all of the children really well, so we hope it will be a smooth transition for you all.

We thank Liz for looking after the nursery so competently over the last few weeks; Liz will now move into her new role as the Panda Class teaching assistant.

We also welcome Katie Hinton to the EYFS team. Katie has worked with us a lot on a casual basis and absolutely LOVES this age group. She will now work every Wednesday in Snow-Leopards and every Friday in Panda class. Fran will continue to be in nursery full time, so we have a great team in place.

Any questions, please do catch a member of staff and ask, email the school admin or call in. In the new year, we will open the doors to parents and carers so that you can meet everyone.

Thank you all for your on-going support.

Increased incidence of StrepA Scarlet Fever

We have received this information this morning from Shropshire Council which are passing on to you:

Increased incidence of scarlet fever
There has been a recent national increase in notifications of scarlet fever to United Kingdom
Health Security Agency (UKHSA), above seasonal expected levels. We would like to
take this opportunity to remind you of the signs, symptoms and the actions to be taken if
you become aware of an outbreak at your school or nursery.
Signs and symptoms of scarlet fever:
Scarlet fever is a common childhood infection caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, or
group A streptococcus (GAS). The early symptoms of scarlet fever include sore throat,
headache, fever, nausea and vomiting. After 12 to 48 hours the characteristic red,
pinhead rash develops, typically first appearing on the chest and stomach, then rapidly
spreading to other parts of the body, and giving the skin a sandpaper-like texture. The
scarlet rash may be harder to spot on darker skin, although the ‘sandpaper’ feel should
be present. Patients typically have flushed cheeks and pallor around the mouth. This
may be accompanied by a ‘strawberry tongue’. As the child improves peeling of the skin
can occur.
Infection control advice:
In schools and nurseries, it is recognised that infections can be spread through direct
physical contact between children and staff and through shared contact with surfaces
such as tabletops, taps, toys and handles. During periods of high incidence of scarlet
fever there may also be an increase in outbreaks in schools, nurseries and other
childcare settings. As per national Guidance on Infection Control in Schools and other
Child Care Settings, children and adults with suspected scarlet fever should not attend
nursery / school / work for 24 hours after the commencement of appropriate antibiotic
treatment. Good hygiene practice such as hand washing remains the most important
step in preventing and controlling spread of infection.
