Congratulations to our Summer 1 Award Winners who all enjoyed their visit to Botham’s in Pickering this morning.

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.

Y6 had a ‘Wicked’ evening last night in the West End and did some sight seeing too.
Today it’s been a tour round the beautiful Windsor Castle and changing the guard before we head home.

A hearty breakfast to set us up for the day - some of us even got to watch football at the same time. ⚽️🥓🌭
