Welcome to term three, I hope you have all survived the winter months, itseems that there has been some particularly nasty bugs going around andeveryone seems to have been affected in some way, just a friendly reminder,please do not send your child to Uxbridge if they have a green discharge fromtheir noses. This does mean they have an infection that can easily be passedon to other children and also staff members.
