Flu cases among children are rising earlier than usual this year and health experts are warning that this season could be particularly severe. Latest UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) data shows flu activity is three times higher than this time last year, with a sharp increase among school-aged children. Flu is not just a bad cold. It can make children very unwell and is more likely to lead to complications such as pneumonia, bronchitis and ear infections. In severe cases children may become so unwell they need to be admitted to hospital. Children with long-term conditions like asthma or diabetes are at even higher risk. Flu can trigger asthma attacks and make diabetes harder to manage, increasing the risk of serious complications. ❗️Why vaccination matters The nasal spray flu vaccine is quick, painless and the best protection against flu for children under 16. Vaccinating your child not only protects them but also helps stop flu spreading to vulnerable family members, such as grandparents or babies. If your child is unable to have the nasal flu due to medical or cultural reasons, they can have an alternative porcine free injectable option. ❓What to do if your child hasn’t had the flu vaccine 📍Consent for your child’s school vaccination online. https://www.kentimmunisations.co.uk/Forms/Flu 📍Missed the school session? Book a catch-up appointment at a local community clinic. https://family.kentcht.nhs.uk/support/health-services-for-families-with-school-aged-children/immunisation-service/immunisation-community-clinics/ 📍Book a flu injection at a local community clinic if needed for cultural or medical reasons. https://family.kentcht.nhs.uk/support/health-services-for-families-with-school-aged-children/immunisation-service/immunisation-community-clinics/ 📍Children aged two to three years can be vaccinated at our community clinics, at their GP surgery or participating pharmacy. 🎄Don’t let flu ruin the festive season. Protect your child and your family.

To support our learning about 'Marvellous Machines', Attenborough Class went to visit Drapers Windmill this week. We found out so much about how this amazing machine works and heard lots of new vocabulary. When we returned to school, we made models of the windmill and we used flour to make playdough and salt dough, recalling how it was made.

This years' Anti-Bullying Week theme, 'Power for Good' has come about following consultation with teachers and pupils by the Anti-Bullying Alliance. Teachers and children wanted a theme that empowered them to do something positive to counter the harm and hurt that bullying causes. We will be using the Anti-Bullying Alliance resources in school this week to focus on how we can actively use our Power for Good, and what we can do to stop bullying. #AntiBullyingWeek #PowerForGood
