    DETAILED INFORMATION

    Advice for Child to Self-Isolate for 14 Days 

    Dear parent or carer,

    We have been made aware that we have a confirmed positive case of coronavirus (COVID-19) at Keyworth Primary School in the Foundation Unit.

    We have followed the national guidance and have identified that any children who attended the Foundation Unit on Thursday 15th or Friday 16th October have been in close contact with the affected person. In line with the national guidance your child must stay at home and self-isolate until Friday 30th October 2020.

    If your child is well at the end of the 14 days period of self-isolation, then they can return to usual activities.

    Other members of your household can continue normal activities provided your child does not develop symptoms within the 14 day self-isolation period.

    Please see the link to: Guidance for contacts of people with confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) infection who do not live with the person

    https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-for-contacts-of-people-with-possible-or-confirmed-coronavirus-covid-19-infection-who-do-not-live-with-the-person

    What to do if your child develops symptoms of COVID 19

    If your child develops symptoms of COVID-19, they should remain at home for at least 10 days from the date when their symptoms appeared. Anyone with symptoms will be eligible for testing and this can be arranged via https://www.nhs.uk/ask-for-a-coronavirus-test or by calling 119 . 

    People who do not have symptoms should not request a test unless this has been specifically requested by Public Health England or the local authority.

    All other household members who remain well must stay at home and not leave the house for 14 days. This includes anyone in your ‘Support Bubble’.

    The 14-day period starts from the day when the first person in the house became ill.

    Household members should not go to work, school or public areas and exercise should be taken within the home. If you require help with buying groceries, other shopping or picking up medication, or walking a dog, you should ask friends or family. Alternatively, you can order your shopping online and medication by phone or online.

    Household members staying at home for 14 days will greatly reduce the overall amount of infection the household could pass on to others in the community

    If you are able can, move any vulnerable individuals (such as the elderly and those with underlying health conditions) out of your home, to stay with friends or family for the duration of the home isolation period

    Please see the link to the PHE ‘Stay at Home’ Guidance:

    https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-stay-at-home-guidance/stay-at-home-guidance-for-households-with-possible-coronavirus-covid-19-infection

    Symptoms of COVID 19

    The most common symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are recent onset of:

    • new continuous cough and/or
    • high temperature and/or
    • a loss of, or change in, normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia)

    For most people, coronavirus (COVID-19) will be a mild illness.

    If your child does develop symptoms, you can seek advice from the nhs.uk website at https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/check-if-you-have-coronavirus-symptoms/. If you are concerned about your child’s symptoms, or they are worsening you can seek advice from NHS 111 at https://111.nhs.uk/ or by phoning 111.

    How to stop COVID-19 spreading

    There are things you can do to help reduce the risk of you and anyone you live with getting ill with COVID-19

    Do

    • wash your hands with soap and water often – do this for at least 20 seconds
    • use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
    • wash your hands as soon as you get home
    • cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
    • put used tissues in the bin immediately and wash your hands afterwards

  • Important Update - CV-19

    Published 19/10/20, by Peter Cresswell

    We have been informed today that someone in the Foundation unit began to feel poorly with covid-19 symptoms on Saturday and had a test on Sunday. Although the result hasn't come back yet, we wanted to let parents know because the person in question lives with 2 other people that had positive test results returned on Sunday – this seems to increase the likelihood of this being a case of Covid-19.  As such, we felt parents would want to know so they can be extra vigilant about social distancing and monitoring any potential symptoms in their households.

    We will let you know the result of the test asap. If it is positive, we will consult with Public Health England and inform you of their advice, which may include keeping your children in self-isolation.

  • Bronze Reading awards in the Meadow Class

    Published 14/10/20, by Sara Lindley

    At the moment the F2 children have had their new reading diaries and have started to enjoy getting stickers for the last few weeks every time they have read. F1 children will be getting their reading diaries after half term and they too can earn their Bronze Award!

    Delve a little deeper into your child's diary and you will find information about how your child can get their school Bronze Reading Award.

    Stuck on the green card in your child's reading diary after all of the information pages is a page with lots of robots on.

    Take a look at some of the skills underneath each robot. These are the skills the children need to show they have used a few times in order for them to get their Bronze Award.

    A grown up from home or school can put a tick or a cross in the numbered circles each time they have noticed your child using that skill. When all three of the circles for that skill have been marked in and your child has been noticed using those skills at school they will get an extra special robot sticker from Mrs Lindley to stick over the robot face for the skill they have completed.

    When every robot skill has been completed they will be sent to Mrs King to receive their Special School Bronze Reading award.

    The robot page is for the Autumn term so there are another couple of months to have a go at getting those skills coloured in.

    We will have a different sticker theme for the Spring term and move the skills on to get a silver award.

    Please message us or ask after school if you need any further information about our sticker rewards.

  • Learning about letters that make the 'c' sound (c, k, ck) with Stickman!

    Published 04/10/20, by Sara Lindley

    This we are going to have a couple of stories. Stickman and Rosie's walk

    We will be challenging the children to hear lots of 'c' sounds in their activities this week.

    We will be teaching them that there is more than one way to make a c sound.

    You can use a 'c', you can use a 'k' or you can put them together and make the special friend sound 'ck'!

    Lots of the activities will be using stick. We seem to have an abundance of sticks all over the place at the moment so we are going to find imaginative ways of using them.

    Stickman is available as an animation on BBCiPlayer.

    alternatively, listen to the story being read with sound effects in the video below.

    Here are just some of the activities we will be making available for the children to choose.

    For our Maths this week.....We will be reinforcing the numbers 1 2 and 3 as well as learning all about triangles. We will be making patterns out of all the natural materials we can find. We will even be using timers to see how fast we can build a shelter for stickman to hide in.
