⚠️What is Pharmacy First? This service enables children and adults to get quick, walk-in access to healthcare advice (some pharmacies also offer the service remotely as a video consultation). The person will be offered a consultation with a pharmacist in a private consultation room. This service takes away the potential delay of having to wait for a GP appointment and may help ensure children and staff get well and back to school as quickly as possible, potentially positively impacting attendance rates. The service supports people in the below age groups who need help with: ✔️Earache (aged 1 to 17 years) ✔️Impetigo (aged 1 year and over) ✔️Infected insect bites (aged 1 year and over) ✔️Sore throats (aged 5 years and over) ✔️Shingles (aged 18 years and over) ✔️Sinusitis (aged 12 years and over) ✔️Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women (aged 16 to 64 years) The pharmacist will provide advice and, if clinically necessary, offer an NHS medicine to treat the condition (these medicines are supplied free of charge to children under 16 years, with the normal NHS prescription charge rules applying to people aged 16 or over). The pharmacy will then send an electronic message to the person’s GP surgery so their health record can be updated. Should the pharmacist be unable to help, they will direct the person to their GP surgery or other health professional as appropriate.

✨ Last week year 4 had a brilliant Harry Potter day! ✨ The children had a go at writing their own spells, using special feather pens, made their own wands and even had a wizards dual to see if they worked! Children also took part in a quidditch match in our sports hall- congratulations to Blue team who won the match! We hope everyone enjoyed the day as much as we did!

Family Learning, together with Kent Libraries, is offering a free “Have Fun Reading” workshop designed to help parents and carers support their children’s reading in a relaxed and engaging way. This workshop is perfect for families who want to build confidence in reading together and discover enjoyable ways to support literacy at home. It’s a great way to encourage a love of reading in young children while connecting with others in the community. Please find attached a poster for more information, which also contains a QR code for pre-booking onto the course. It is essential to book a place by Friday 30th May.

Last term, year 2 explored the life cycle of animals, including humans. The children focused on understanding how living things grow and change over time. 🐛 The highlight was learning about the life cycle of a butterfly! The children were able to observe the transformation from a caterpillar, into a chrysalis, and finally witness a caterpillar emerge from the chrysalis as a butterfly. 🦋 The children were excited to release the butterflies and watch them fly off to their new homes. 😍

🔍📚 SPaG-tacular Scavenger Hunt! 📝✨ Year 6 turned revision into an epic adventure on Friday with a SPaG Scavenger Hunt around the playground! 🕵️♀️💬 From spotting sneaky suffixes to tracking down tricky punctuation, our brilliant learners raced against the clock to solve grammar challenges and collect clues — all while revising for their SATs in the most fun way possible! 🧠🏃♂️ It was fast-paced, brain-boosting, and full of laughter — because who says grammar can’t be exciting? We’re SO proud of their teamwork, enthusiasm, and growing confidence! 💪✨ A big well done to Dana and Laura who completed the scavenger hunt in the quickest time!

🧪🩸 Science Just Got Messy… and Tasty?! 🍬🧠 Year 6 became mini scientists last week, whipping up a recipe for blood as part of their science lesson on the circulatory system! ❤️💉 Using red and yellow food colouring to represent haemoglobin and plasma, Cheerios for red blood cells, marshmallows for white blood cells, and raisins for platelets – our young learners brought the science of blood to life (in a bowl!). 🥣 Not only was it a brilliant hands-on way to understand how our blood works, but it was also a LOT of fun! 😄🧬
