Message from the Headteacher
This is the 21st year of the Recycling Campaign, which runs from 14th-20th October 2024 and the theme is ‘Rescue Me’. It is a celebration of recycling across the nation, galvanising the public into recycling more of the right things and focusing on rescuing recyclable items from heading to the rubbish bin.
More and more people recycle every day. This helps to reduce the need for landfill and more costly forms of disposal. Recycling also reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining and processing raw materials all of which create substantial air and water pollution.
This helps to save energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and helping to tackle climate change.
Whilst recycled materials are valuable commodities in the worldwide market and are financially important; recycling is good for the environment too. It makes best use of our limited natural resources.
Recycling is a real success story and we should be proud of what we have achieved as a nation. Please encourage your children to look at the items that go into general waste, and think if these are recyclable – look for symbols which might indicate this.
We all create some unavoidable food waste such as peelings, egg shells, teabags and bones. If you have a food waste collection at home then teach children to use these food waste caddies.
Emails requesting parental consent for this year’s Flu Vaccination have been sent out – the permission has to be given directly to NHS – so please take a few moments to complete this online form as soon as possible, so your child does not miss out on their winter vaccine.
This vaccine for primary aged children are generally delivered in the form of a nasal spray and is the best way to prevent the flu, and its complications and missing school due to sickness.
Warm regards Iman Basu Roy
