Feature on Year 5

Exploring the World of Position and Orientation in Maths!

These past few weeks, our Year 5 students delved into the exciting realm of position and orientation in their Mathematics lessons. Through engaging activities and interactive lessons, they learned about compass points and angles of turn, enhancing their spatial awareness and problem-solving skills.

From navigating imaginary landscapes to understanding the importance of direction in everyday life, our students embraced the challenge with enthusiasm and creativity. As they honed their ability to describe and manipulate positions and angles, they discovered the beauty of mathematical concepts in action.

Stay tuned for more updates on our mathematical adventures!

Measles

Transmission

Measles virus is highly contagious. It is spread through the air by infected droplets or by direct contact with secretions from the nose or throat of infected persons, for example by touching contaminated items or surfaces. It can survive for up to 2 hours in the air. A person with measles is most contagious from when symptoms start until three to four days after the rash appears.
Anyone who has not received at least one dose of a measles-containing vaccine or who has not already had the disease is at risk of catching measles.

Symptoms

It usually takes 10-12 days from exposure to the first symptom. The illness begins with fever, cough, runny nose and conjunctivitis (inflammation in the eyes), which lasts for 2-4 days. It may be possible to see small white spots (Koplik spots) inside the mouth. A rash appears 2-4 days after the first symptoms, beginning at the hairline and gradually spreading down the body to the arms and legs. The rash lasts for up to one week.
