And just like that it's FRIDAY!!! We've had a very sporty week this week 🙂

Fri 19 Apr 2024

So, this week:-

We started our week with an assembly about the importance of 'friendship' which was delivered by our Mental Health Lead, Mrs Alison Lloyd
Year 6 had a very productive day over at Forest School
Year 5 enjoyed their first go at 'Tri Golf' 🙂
Our footballers attended several tournaments this week, braved the weather, won some, lost some BUT represented our school and we are all so very proud of you all 🙂 My first 'big shout' is to all those staff and parents who supported the event My second 'big shout' is to Miss Young for organising everyone 🙂 and more importantly washing the football kit each night ready for the next tournament on the following day - you are a super star Miss Young.

Looking ahead to next week:-

It's the turn of Year 3 on Monday to spend the day over at Forest School. Old clothes and a change of footwear is needed
On Tuesday, Year 4 have Progressive Sports - so can wear PE kits all day
Also on Tuesday, our Reading Ambassadors are receiving training so they can continue to promote the importance of reading within FL
On Wednesday, Year 6 have a special visitor who will talk to them about 'managing their feelings around SATS' 🙂
On Thursday, Miss Young, Mrs Sargeant and the Dance Gang will be representing FL at 'The Gatehouse' - we can't wait to see the dance (in assembly) in a few weeks time 🙂

And that's about it for this week 🙂

A reminder that we still need to recruit a few more volunteers for our PTFA please - as we need more help to enable us to run our Summer Fayre this year 🙂

Please catch Mrs Banks or Miss Young or our parent governors, Mr Tuach, Mr Parker or Mrs Capewell. Without help, the Summer Fayre will be much smaller - we want to make it BIGGER this year 🙂

Have a great weekend, hopefully the sun will make an appearance, see you all on Monday

Mrs B and the FL Team 🙂

Welcome back to the SUMMER TERM!!!

Summer Term Dates have been posted on the website, sent via MM and also updated on the school calendar. More details to follow on each event, nearer the time.

So, this week: -

Reception had an action-packed day over at Forest Schools
Year 6 had fun with Progressive Sport on Tuesday afternoon having a go at 'Tri Golf' 🙂
On Wednesday, everyone looked super smart for the School Photos
Thanks to those Year 4 parents who attended the camp information session on Thursday after school - we hope the info provided will help you to gain an insight into what lovely activities the children will be getting up to as well as kit required etc. A reminder that final payment is due in the next few weeks.

We would like to set up a PTA again within Flash Ley to raise much needed funds for our school. This will then enable us to offer discounted prices on school trips, have fun days (magician, bouncy castle) etc but WE NEED VOLUNTEERS to help us. If you are interested in helping out at events and working with us to raise money, then please catch Mrs Banks or Miss Young and we will give you a few more details and pop your name on our list 🙂
