What a scorching end to the week, but we all survived!!! 🙂

Fri 11 Jul 2025

Please note: - this will be the last weekly summary for this academic year! 🙂

So, this week looked about like this: -

Year 4 swimming on Monday - there is a session next week 🙂

All classes got to spend the morning or afternoon with their new teacher for September - more details re: - PE days etc will be sent to you all on our INSET DAY so that it's fresh in everyone's mind

Year 4 had an enjoyable time with Progressive Sports on Tuesday afternoon

Year 2 & 6 were at Forest Schools on Thursday - this is the last session for this academic year

A big thank you to everyone who supported our Summer Fayre - once we have a final total, we will let you all know

A big 'shout out' to Miss Young for organising all the stalls and to staff/parent volunteers who stayed to man the stalls.

It's very much appreciated!!

We bounced our way to the end of the week!! 🙂 Once again raising lots of funds for school which is so desperately needed - once we have a total, we will let you know

The raffle will be drawn on Tuesday of next week and any winners will be contacted so that you can collect your prize 🙂

Reports have been issued today 🙂

Looking ahead to next week: -

Temperatures are still set to be scorching on Monday 14^th July so all children can come to school in their PE kit (no football shirts), sun hat and water bottle. Sun lotion to be applied before coming to school.

All staff will be available until 4.30pm on Monday 14^th July 2025 to answer any questions in relation to the 'annual reports'

Mrs Slade-Nowell (Year 4 in September) will be available on Tuesday 2nd September at 3.30pm for any parents who wish to have a chat with her or get to meet her at the end of the school day🙂

*Celebration Assemblies as follows: -
- EYFS/Nursery @ 10.30am on Monday 14^th July
- Year 1 and Year 2 @ 9am on Tuesday 15^th July
- Year 3, 4 & 5 @ 9am on Wednesday 16^th July

If your child is receiving a 'special award' you will have received a 'TOP SECRET' letter in the post 🙂

A reminder that we are a 'no mobile phone school' so mobiles need to be kept in pockets/bags or even better left at home.

Tuesday/Wednesday normal school uniform

Year 6 Leavers Assembly on Wednesday 16th July - separate letter sent and tickets issued. Prompt start at 5pm

Children have requested 'picnic lunches' next week rather than hot dinners - so we are serving 'picnic lunches' on Thursday of next week 🙂

Our last day of term is Thursday 17^th July. We are holding a PARTY DAY and have the ice-cream van @ 10am for all children. Children can come in non-uniform on this day (football shirts are allowed). Sensible shoes to be worn as children will be outside at lunch and break
Contributions for the Ice-cream of £1 per child 🙂

Please note: - No progressive Sports or Forest Schools this week. All after school clubs have finished so prompt collection at 3.15pm. Traffic around Stafford is still horrendous, so please do leave additional time for the 'school run' particularly on Thursday so that we can all get the Summer Jollibobs started 🙂

Have a great weekend. Just 4 more get ups to go!!!

Mrs B and the FL Team 🙂

So, another busy week in the bag 🙂

Fri 04 Jul 2025

We have work starting on Monday for a replacement perimeter fence so please be mindful of this when coming on and off site

To clarify: - As a healthy school we promote water in water bottles, however, we do acknowledge that some children don't like water, in which case 'sugar free' juice is fine, particularly with the hot weather at the moment. I do hope this clears up any confusion.

Year 4 cooled down in the pool on Monday

Thanks to those parents who took time out of their busy day to attend our Parents Forum - another very productive meeting was had by all

Year 3 coffee morning was a great success - lots of positive comments from parents and the children loved it too - we'll roll these out across school in the next academic year 🙂

Year 3 enjoyed Progressive Sports on Tuesday afternoon

Year 4 had a smashing day over at Forest Schools on Thursday

Thanks to everyone for the contribution of chocolates/sweets for our Summer Fayre - very much appreciated

So, looking ahead to next week: -

All after school clubs have now finished for this academic year - please collect children promptly at 3.15pm at the end of each day. Allow extra time to get to school due to the local roadworks causing chaos and lots of additional traffic around the area.

Year 4 swimming as normal on Monday

Year 4 Progressive Sports on Tuesday afternoon. Children can come to school in their PE kits for the day

Year 3 Transition Morning on Tuesday morning - so everyone will all get the opportunity to meet Mrs Slade-Nowell 🙂

Summer Fayre on Wednesday @ 3.30pm - 4.30pm - please come along to support us in raising much needed funds for school and your children

Forest Schools on Thursday - Year 2 in the morning and Year 6 in the afternoon 🙂 Children can come to school in their old clothes and a change of footwear

Transition Afternoon on Thursday - children spend the afternoon meeting their new class teacher for September 2025 🙂 Collection as normal

Bouncy Castle on Friday 11^th July (see separate letter)

Friday - end of term reports will be issued at the end of the day

Your help needed please (a little job for the weekend) 🙂

As we are approaching the end of the academic year, if you are having a sort out of 'school uniform' and have any items that are in 'good/excellent' condition, then please bring into the school office. We can then do our 'be-loved uniform table' again in readiness for September 2025. Thanks everyone 🙂

Have an enjoyable weekend

Mrs B and the FL Team 🙂

They have completed their SATS and have made us all super proud with their sheer determination to try their very hardest 🙂

Whatever the outcome, you should be very proud of all you have achieved. All staff at FL are very impressed with your attitude to learning and to the SATS challenge.

Have a well-earned rest this weekend and you have so many lovely things to look forward to over your last few weeks at FL.

A 'special shout out' to all staff who volunteered their time to prepare breakfast for the children each morning - it is very much appreciated. It definitely worked in getting all our Year 6's to school early 🙂

Meanwhile in school this week: -

Year 3 have enjoyed Progressive Sports and skateboarding on Tuesday afternoon 🙂
Our parental 'Forest Schools' sessions went well on Thursday and we have had lots of very positive comments in relation to them. Sorry for those who didn't manage to get on the sessions but we were very limited on numbers due to insurance and making sure that everyone was safe.
