We must definitely make the most of the sun and felt the warmth on our faces at both lunch and breaktimes.  Hopefully in the next few days/weeks we can get on the field (still too wet at the moment) 

Our Progressive Sports PAID club on Wednesday's has now finished - so children who attend this club need to be collected at normal finish time of 3.15pm next Wednesday - thanks in advance 

We continued to celebrate the 'amazing women in our lives' with the reminder of our Mother’s Day Brekkies.  It was lovely to see the interaction and that special bond.  So many lovely comments 🙂

A massive Thank you' to our Kitchen Team for preparing a lovely Mother's Day Brekkie over the last few weeks.  We have never had so many parents in over so many sessions, I'm sure you will agree it was amazing 😇🙏

A huge thank you to all the EYFS parents who attended Easter Bingo on Wednesday - lots of winners of some fantastic prizes and plenty of smiling faces. An amazing morning had by all 🙂 

Thanks to those parents who took time out a very busy day to decorate Easter Bonnets during our very popular EASTER PACT sessions.  It was lovely to see you all getting stuck in and it's going to be tough competition to pick out our 'winners'.  

Thank you to everyone who supported our Non-Uniform Day on Monday by donating an Easter Egg.  It will help raise valuable funds for the children who attend Flash Ley.   We have our Chocolate Tombola (outside the hall) on Monday 23^rd March - so bring those £1 coins with you on school collection.  This event is usually very popular. 

Year 1 enjoyed their Progressive Sports session.  They had so much fun during their boxing session on Wednesday.  The children are really enjoying the 'enrichment' activities that are provided in addition to our school curriculum.  

Year 1 and Year 4 had a lovely session in the sun over at Forest Schools enhancing their curriculum/topic areas.  

Thanks to those who supported our 'Red Nose Day' - this is a lovely charity to provide help too.  We will post next week once we know how much we have raised for this very worthy cause.   The school was a sea of red with some lovely superhero costumes.  School was a rainbow of lovely colours. 

Our 'Friends of FL' group met on Thursday to discuss all things 'fundraising'.  Keep your eyes peeled on events being organised by this PARENT LED group and you may want to help out or attend the next meeting to share your ideas 🙂 All money will go back to every child who attends FL.  (see facebook poster and J2E post sent yesterday for more details on their first event) - excited dot com.  They are raising money for more I-pads within school for all children to use 🙂 

We ended the week with our SEN Coffee Morning - a lovely cuppa, chat and we put the world to right!!  Thanks, ladies, for your contribution 🙂 It was a lovely morning. 

Looking ahead to the last week of this half term before a well-deserved break 🙂 Let's hope this lovely weather continues. Fingers crossed 🙂

If you have made an Easter Bonnet at home - please bring them into school on Wednesday in readiness for our Easter Bonnet Parade (children only) on Thursday @ 9am. 

Monday

• CHOCOLATE TOMBOLA - After School on Monday (outside the hall) our Easter Chocolate Tombola will be on sale.  £1.  If raining, this will be in the hall.  So, bring your money and be quick from collecting children as we know this activity usually forms a very long queue 🙂

Tuesday 

• Year 2 Easter Bonnet PACT @ 2pm.  Please wait at the hall doors.  A reminder that we supply the bonnet but you do need to bring lots of items to decorate the Easter Bonnet.  The session will finish at 3pm.  Children will be released at the normal time of 3.15pm

Friday 

• ERIC for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 at the revised time (after feedback from you all) - starting at 8.30am - 9am.  A lovely end to the term by sharing a book with your child.  We can't wait to welcome you all into school 🙂 
• School Council Non-Uniform Pot of Gold - £1 donation in exchange for 'Crazy Hair' or 'Dress as a Prince or Princess Day'.  Those who don't wish to bring in a £1 or dress up are to come to school in normal school uniform 

That then takes us nicely into the Easter Break 🙂 

So have a lovely weekend, recharge the batteries and prepare for the last 5 get ups - we've got this 🙂
