Road Safety PEASE READ – There have been some near misses at drop off again, we are growing increasingly concerned that there will be a serious accident!

Covid Guidance from Suffolk County Council – There are still positive COVID cases across Suffolk schools and settings with bubbles having to self-isolate. Please continue with regular lateral flow testing at home to help stop the spread of the virus. Testing kits are free to order and available from Order coronavirus (COVID-19) rapid lateral flow tests - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk), Families can also pick free testing kits up from local pharmacies and libraries. A full list of where families can collect lateral flows kits from can be found here Find where to get rapid lateral flow tests - NHS (test-and-trace.nhs.uk). Rapid lateral flow tests are for people who do not have coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms, if anyone is showing symptoms of COVID-19 they should obtain a PCR test.
Parent Consultations – All Wolves families have now booked their slots (gold star to you lot!), but we are still waiting on a few Hedgehog and Adders families to get booked on. Slots are booked via the website. The links for the online meetings will be sent out on Monday.
The Big Ask – We will be exploring this during our assembly next week and Mrs Austin will be introducing it to the children and encouraging them to take part. The Children's Commissioner for England is encouraging all children to complete this online survey to share their views about what children need to live a healthy life. It will only take 5-10 minutes so please try to support your child to have their say! Deadline for completion is 28th May.
