In reviewing Health Care Plans with our NHS nurse and parents today, we have been made aware of the need to strengthen our procedures about allergic reactions to nuts/peanuts and peanut butter.  We have one child who faces a potentially life threatening reaction when exposed to peanuts/peanut butter, and others who have allergic reactions to nuts that also give us concern.

Therefore, we are asking that parents do not send nuts/peanuts or peanut butter in packed lunches.  We have tried to manage the situation informally; however, this still leaves too much room for error and we are now asking for parents to help us by not sending these foods.  Partly this is due to the age of the children in question, and partly this is due to the potential severity of reaction.

I hope all parents can cooperate with this new care plan.  This is also a good time to remind all parents that we can meet with the NHS nurse to draw up a care plan if your child has particular health care needs.

After weeks of rehearsals, the audience finally got to see what all of the children had been talking about. The acts included singing, dancing, acting, poetry reading and gymnastics. All of the acts were of high quality and proved that the children of Brundall School, do in fact, have talent!

Awards were given at the end of the evening’s entertainment to the following categories and winners:

• Star of the Night – Alex Meadowcroft , Year 6, for his breakdancing
• Most Likely to be Famous  -  Owen and Ashley Holdsworth, Year 6, for their singing
• Cutest Act – The Flipperoons, Annie Webb and Max Hoy, Year 3, for their gymnastic routine
• Most Original Act  -  Adam Alderton, Year 6, for his poetry reading
• Most Dedicated Act  -  Chloe Diggines, Year 5, for her piano performance of ‘Memories’ from the show ‘Cats.’
• Best costume  -  Tick Tockers, Year 6 , for their 80’s ‘fame’ styled outfit

A big thank you must go out to all involved, including the staff, Sian Jones for her drama group performance,  FOBS  and of course, all of the children and their parents for making the show an exciting and memorable night.
