Knowing this, we need to be vigilant, and not complacent, we all know how to help prevent the spread of germs. Please keep sick children home.

• Wash and sanitise hands 
• Cough or sneeze into your elbow 
• Ventilate rooms 
• Dress warmly with extra layers
• Send children in raincoats on wet days

The biggest thing we can all help with is to look out for symptoms in your children, and if any are showing, keep your child at home please. We know this is a pain, but we need to think of the greater picture.
