Brookvale Primary School

Good morning Parents and Carers, From today, if your child has been given first aid for a minor injury, such as a graze or fall, they will be given a 'Yellow First Aid Sticker' that will show they have had treatment. If they come home wearing one of these stickers this will mean they will have received treatment such as a cold compress or medical wipe for a minor injury. Bumped heads and Significant Injuries If your child has a bump to the head, a bumped head note will be sent home with them and your class teacher will inform you of this. If there is a serious head bump or other significant injury, school will carry out first aid, make immediate contact with you and will advise you on what next steps to take. Kind regards Mr Moore

Good afternoon Parents and Carers, I have been made aware that there is currently a TikTok craze that is being promoted with young children. The game is called 'Red Door, Yellow Door'. The game involves children trying to put one child into a trance like state, by rubbing their fingers on a child's forehead and chanting red door, yellow door or any other coloured door. This can make the child dizzy and can cause upset. There are many clips online that show children becoming distressed whilst playing this game. I am sending this information out to you so that you can make sure your child does not play this game or is watching it online. As you know, each month I send home information about online safety as it is vital we try to educate our children to keep them safe both online and in the environment they play in. Kind regards Mr Moore

Good morning Parents and Carers, Please find attached a copy of our February Newsletter. Parents' Evening is coming up over the next two weeks and teachers will be sending out a SchoolPing by the end of the week so you can book a day and time that suits. Kind regards M Moore Headteacher

Good afternoon Parents and Carers, Please find attached a poster regarding Family Hubs and Children Centres. We are fortunate to have Brookvale Family Hub just across from the school and there are many organisations/ services that can offer families support. We will be sending out more information about the services they provide over the coming weeks. Healthwatch Halton are currently working with the Family Hubs to gather people's views on the services offered and have asked for some feedback. If you are a current user of any of the services shown they would like to hear your views. If you've not yet used a Family Hub / Children's Centre, they would like to find out some of the reasons why. To take part in the survey please scan the QR code on the poster. Kind Regards Mr Moore Headteacher

Dear Parents and Carers, Thank you for your valuable feedback regarding School Lunches. I have taken into account your comments and we have started to look at different school lunch providers and with your feedback we will hopefully find one that meets the needs of your children. Before we change provider, we will also be looking at the time children are given and see what changes can be made now to our current system. An online ordering system would be welcomed (85% of parents would like this) and hopefully this would ensure you have a variety of choice (67% of parents would like this) and also will guarantee your child’s lunch. I also want to try and make sure we keep the cost reasonable whilst offering a better service, giving you more choice and control over your child’s lunch. For now, if you believe your child may be entitled to free school lunches please contact the main office and find out how to apply. Finally, we hope to be with a new provider for the summer term. I will keep you informed of any changes. Results of Review: Do you think that the current school meal service is value for money? Yes 59% No 38% Not sure 3% Do you think there is enough choice for lunch? Yes 32% No 67% Not Sure 1% Would you prefer to have an online system for ordering your child's lunch? Yes 85% No 12% Not Sure 3% Kind regards Mr R Moore Headteacher

Good afternoon Parents and Carers, Next week, week beginning Monday 22nd January, we will be having an art week.
