Re: How do I write a sick note..?
I was sick the other day. I took another day off just for precautionary purposes in case I brought up a mixture( that some how contained carrots in that I cant remember eating) again. The carrots will always remain a mystery to me.
Please take this note as evidence of authorised absence and included a slice of that mysterious carrot as physical evidence
Or you could just not go into so much detail and instead say you were absent because you were ill on those particular days.... -
Re: How do I write a sick note..?
"Dear Sir/Madam/attendance administrator/whoever deals with attendance at your school,
I was absent from school on x date and y date due to *insert reason here*.
Yours faithfully/sincerely (if you know their name),
Your name, your form"
The policies on attendance vary from school to school, so I'm not sure if your parents need to sign it as well, or whether you need a doctor's note; but just add/attach as appropriate.
Don't worry about dressing it up at all, because the more concise it is, the easier it'll be for them to process it.
Sadly not, we finally break up tomorrow..(Original post by rainbow drops)
i thought everybody were on summer holidays by now

Re: How do I write a sick note..?
My dad once wrote me the following because I kept asking him while he was watching TV
"Dear Teacher,
Rebecca wasn't in school yesterday because she hadn't done her homework. Also, she was a little hungover so I thought it best to let her sleep in.
Hope you don't mind,
Dad
xxx"
I think the three kisses at the end were the highlight
Funnily enough I waited and asked my mum when she got home 
A good format to use though is
Dear Teacher,
____ wasn't in school on _____ because he/she was unwell with a cold / whatever reason
Sorry for any inconvenience caused,
Sign name
(then print name if the signature is illegible) -

Those weren't carrots deary, they were bits of stomach lining.
Next time you're ill, try lining you're stomach with something, or you could get stomach ulcers, which are pretty damn painful.
Pasta, bread, potato and cheese are food that lines you're stomach because they take a long time to digest. Milk is also thought to line the stomach as well.
