A parent’s guide to keeping children healthy this school year
As the new school year begins, children, teenagers and their parents prepare for new schedules, homework, friends, and activities. However the autumn also brings common illnesses that can keep children away from their classmates and studies.
This blog post covers steps you can take now and throughout the coming term to help protect your family from seasonal illnesses. It explores available vaccinations, how to recognise symptoms of common illnesses and how to make informed decisions on whether a sick student is well enough to attend school.
This autumn term, Mia from Change Makers will be running weekly workshops to support children and families to promote healthy eating and lifestyles. We know our families promote these topics at home, however, often, children respond more positively (or believe it more!) when they are shared by a third party.
All children are welcome to attend this Change Maker club but they must attend with an adult parent or carer. The workshops will commence on 28th September and run from 3:15pm - 4:20pm. Mia lead a whole school assembly this week and more information will follow. The proposed dates are below, showing the topics to be covered. Please let our admin team know if you would like to attend these by emailing parents3002@welearn365.com with the subject 'Change Maker Workshops'. Alternatively, you can fill in this form and return to the office.
