This week one of our children brought a very special visitor into Pre-School with them. Mr Grinch came to play, he had so much fun and especially enjoyed lunchtime! We all loved playing with him and he was definitely not a mean one!

The Health Protection Hub at Telford & Wrekin Council have asked us send out some information to you on summer water safety. With the current hot weather, children, particularly older children, may look to go swimming in open water to cool down and have fun. This comes with various risks – cold water shock, currents, hidden underwater dangers and diseases such as Weil’s disease. 46% of drownings occur in the summer months and this rises to 75% amongst 13 – 17-year olds. Educating children on these dangers is important in preventing tragic incidents.
The Royal Life Saving Society and the Canal & River Trust have some good resources with more information on this to discuss with your children:
