  Homegrown Tomatoes

  If your child has been enjoying school dinners this week, they may have been eating tomatoes in their salads that were all grown in school!

   

  Miss Braid and Mrs Perry bought in the tomato plants in during lockdown and look after them, coming to school and watering them during the holidays as well. They harvested tomatoes have been passed on to Mrs Flahaut and Mrs Rigden to use in the school dinners.

  On Sunday 6 September Noah in Tulip Class took part in a Whitstable to Margate charity walk.

  Wed 16 Sep 2020

  What if my child has a cough or cold?

  The cold & flu season has arrived and there seems to be understandably some confusion as to when you should or shouldn’t send your children into school.

   

  If your child is displaying symptoms such as a cough (NOT CONTINUOUS)  and a cold they can still attend school.

   

  If the cold becomes very heavy please keep them off for 2 – 3 days or until they are well enough to return.  If however any member of your household  displays any of the main three symptoms of Coronavirus listed below

   

  ● a high temperature

  ●a new continuous cough

  ● a loss or change to sense of smell or taste,

   

  A test must be booked and  your house hold self-isolate for fourteen days or until a negative result is received. Then your child(ren)may return to school.

   

  If your child(ren) displays any of the above coronavirus symptoms whilst at school you will be contacted and asked to collect them straight away along with any siblings.

   

  To order a home test kit or book an appointment at a test site please go to the link below, additionally you can contact 119.

  Let your Light Shine!

  Last year Breakfast & After School Club launched a competition to design a new logo and name. Rowan in Dahlia class was our creative winner, coming up with the name 'Lighthouse Keeper's Club' and the fantastic lighthouse logo. He was presented with his won polo shirt and chose the colour yellow. Rowan said

  "I am really proud of my design and I am very excited to see it on the shirt."

   

  Well done Rowan, it looks fantastic and the Lighthouse Keeper's Club team look great in their new uniform.
