Important information from Shropshire Council regarding Measles and MMR

A message to parents and carers from Shropshire Council’s Health, Wellbeing and Prevention Directorate:

Cases of measles are increasing in the UK, including in the West Midlands, and it’s likely that there will be cases in Shropshire soon.

Measles is a viral illness that can be serious and sometimes fatal. Spending 15 minutes with someone with measles is enough to get the virus. Symptoms of measles include high fever, runny nose, cough, red and watery eyes, small red spots with a bluish-white centre inside the mouth. A rash can appear later, usually on the face, upper neck, hands and feet, fading after 5 to 6 days. If you’ve not been vaccinated against measles, you can be at risk, but it’s most common in young children. Someone with measles can spread the virus up to 4 days before a rash appears, and up to 4 days after.

Measles can have serious and sometimes fatal consequences, so make sure you and your children are up to date with MMR vaccinations and ask your GP about catch-up jabs if needed. The MMR vaccine is highly effective at protecting against measles.

If you are unsure if your child is up to date with all their routine vaccinations, you can check their Red Book (personal child health record) in the first instance. If you are still not sure, or if you need to bring your child up to date with their vaccines, you should contact their GP practice to check and book an appointment.

If you are concerned that your child has measles, please call your GP in the first instance, to reduce the risk of passing the disease to others in the waiting room.  More information on measles can be found here and information on the MMR vaccine can be found here .”

Next week we will begin to look at farms. Following some of my research we will be doing some of this with Enquiry Based Learning. Here are our plans:

*What do we already know about farms? (EBL)
*Animal cutting and junk box barn making.
*Learning new farm animal themed Nursery Rhymes.
*What do we want to learn about farms? (EBL)
*Challenge Time: Art – mixing colours.

As always we will do many more child initiated things but along with our phonics sessions these are the planned adult activities.

Supertato!

Our topic this term is Supertato and we have really enjoyed the story so far.

We rescued Supertato and his friends and then ate them! We carefully used the microwave and hob to make baked potatoes and boiled potatoes. They were delicious!
