Hi all

I've just started my TA training and I'm on practice at a school 2 days a week and already I'm ill!

Any tips on not picking up every bug going?! I work in infants so maybe it's just part of the life! I'm washing my hands at breaks and lunch, and taking vitamins c and d

Any advice??!!

Ah that's rubbish for you!

I'm starting my 14th year as a secondary teacher and I have had a mild cold this week 😔

I try to eat plenty of veg and take a multi vit to help. If you can, have classroom windows open to let fresh air in.

I don't seem to get colds that are as bad now- I think you do build some immunity over time.
