⚠️What is Pharmacy First? This service enables children and adults to get quick, walk-in access to healthcare advice (some pharmacies also offer the service remotely as a video consultation). The person will be offered a consultation with a pharmacist in a private consultation room. This service takes away the potential delay of having to wait for a GP appointment and may help ensure children and staff get well and back to school as quickly as possible, potentially positively impacting attendance rates. The service supports people in the below age groups who need help with: ✔️Earache (aged 1 to 17 years) ✔️Impetigo (aged 1 year and over) ✔️Infected insect bites (aged 1 year and over) ✔️Sore throats (aged 5 years and over) ✔️Shingles (aged 18 years and over) ✔️Sinusitis (aged 12 years and over) ✔️Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women (aged 16 to 64 years) The pharmacist will provide advice and, if clinically necessary, offer an NHS medicine to treat the condition (these medicines are supplied free of charge to children under 16 years, with the normal NHS prescription charge rules applying to people aged 16 or over). The pharmacy will then send an electronic message to the person’s GP surgery so their health record can be updated. Should the pharmacist be unable to help, they will direct the person to their GP surgery or other health professional as appropriate.

Year 3 and 4 had a creative start to their week. On Tuesday the children started their day with a Kindness Workshop held by 52 Lives. They were asked to create something for someone they cared about. Lots of children chose to make cards for their friends, family members or teachers. ♥️ In the afternoon, the children were asked to design packaging for food. Using nets of different shapes they designed, cut out and stuck together their packaging. We had a variety of ideas from strawberry pots to tuna tins! 🍓🐟

They won 2-1 in the semi finals against Hilltop They lost 2-1 in the final against Smarden. Amazing work girls!

Year 6 contributed to the 85th celebrations of Operation Dynamo which was a daring rescue mission during WWII. Year 6 decorated ships which are in Ellington Park today and tomorrow. Why not check them out? We’d love it if you shared some pictures with us- add them to the comments 😃

Our ‘mini police cadets’ had an interesting time at Margate police station this afternoon. They had the chance to see many areas of the police station and explore the work of different staff members from Kent Police. The children chose to lock Mrs Sherwin in the police van first and happily let her get handcuffed. More photos will follow of the children once we receive them 👮 👮♀️
