A severe allergic reaction can develop quickly, so knowing what to do in an emergency is essential.

This week’s guide gives parents, carers and educators a clear overview of adrenaline devices, including EpiPen, Jext and nasal adrenaline.

The guide covers:
• Symptoms affecting the airway, breathing and circulation
• How different adrenaline devices are used
• Why the patient should lie down and remain still
• The importance of calling 999
• Why two devices should always be carried

It also reinforces a vital message: using adrenaline promptly is always better than waiting.

Art Week 2026 is underway! Please talk to your child this week about their artwork on the theme of FLOURISH!

Optional Homework:

If your child wants to do more art at home, please encourage them to produce a piece of art on the theme of flourish - plants, flowers, their brain etc! You don't need special paper or paints if you don't have any. They can use pencil on normal paper, or use whatever you have at home. Please take a photo of their artwork and email it to me on: [email protected] before Wednesday 10th June. If they prefer to bring their art work into school to show me, this is also fine. But again, please do this before Wednesday 10th June. A small prize will be given to all children who take part. Please see attached information.

Art Exhibition:

Your child's classroom will be open after school on Wednesday 10th June. Please come in after school and admire all the art work and then please take your child's art work home. No charge!

Thank you to the PTA!

For the third year running I am delighted to say our fabulous PTA has funded all the materials required for Art Week. A huge thank you to them from myself and all the children! Also, a huge thank you to all parents/carers for attending all their events as the fundraising that takes place is a collective effort!

Best wishes,
Elise McGregor
