• So, this week at a glance: -

  Fri 26 Apr 2024
  • We started the week with a 'St George's Day' assembly 
  • Year 3 had a great time over at Forest Schools which enhanced their Anglo-Saxon topic.  They designed and made artefacts like those from the Staffordshire Hoard from clay, made mead (non alcoholic of course 🙂).  They also made oat cakes and discussed King Alfred the Great.   
  • Year 4 enjoyed Tri Golf during their progressive sports time on Tuesday afternoon 
  • Our Reading Ambassadors spent the morning receiving training on how to promote reading across their year group and school - watch this space 🙂 
  • Year 6 had a reflective morning on Wednesday discussing managing their feelings in readiness for SATS in a couple of weeks 
  • Fishing Experience - The sun shone, a lovely location over at Barlaston and after a bit of learning about what fish can be found in the canal, the bait they eat and rods, they were raring to go!!!!   All had an amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  I think even Miss Young enjoyed it secretly 🙂 ha x 
  • Miss Young and her dance club represented Flash Ley at 'Gotta Dance' on Thursday evening - a special thank you to both Miss Young and Mrs Sargeant and any parents who came along to support us - we were awesome 🙂 

   

  Looking ahead to next week: - 

  • Year 2 have Forest School on Monday so can come into school in old clothes and must bring a change of footwear 🙂 
  • Year 4 at Standon Bowers (Monday - Wednesday) - see last minute reminders below 
  • Year 3 Progressive Sports on Tuesday afternoon - children can wear their PE kit on this day 
  • Year 5/6 Tag Rugby on Wednesday after school (separate letter to select children has been sent) 

   

  And that's it for this week 

   

  Have a lovely weekend and we'll see you on Monday 🙂

  Additional dates for the diary: -

  • PTA meeting on Wednesday 8^th May @ 9am - planning for the SUMMER FAYRE - we need more volunteers to allow this event to go ahead - if you can help, come along for a chat and a biscuit or 3!!!  🙂 
  • SUMMER FAYRE - Wednesday 3^rd July @ 3.30pm 

   

  Year 4 camp arrangements are as follows: - 

  • All children going to camp are required to bring a packed lunch with them for Monday 🙂 
  • Parents to meet Mr Atkinson at Standon Bowers between 10.30am and 11am.  You will be required to DROP AND GO!! 🙂 
  • On Wednesday, parents to collect from Standon Bowers between 1.30pm - 2pm.  Children can then go straight home from this time - please do not return them to school as Mr Atkinson will be at Standon Bowers for the rest of the afternoon 
  • If you have not returned your child's medical form - this needs to be done as a matter of urgency 

   

  Year 4 children not going to camp are expected to be in school at normal start time on Monday and attend each day as normal.   Line up with Year 3 at the beginning of each day. 

• 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

• Welcome back to the SUMMER TERM!!!

  Fri 12 Apr 2024

  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. 

   

  You should have also received a copy of your child's class newsletter which contains lots of information in relation to learning over the Summer Term. 

   

  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. 

   

  Looking ahead to next week: -

  • Year 6 Forest Schools all day on Monday - old clothes, change of footwear required 
  • Several football tournaments next week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) separate letters have been sent to relevant children/year groups 
  • Year 5 have Progressive Sports on Tuesday afternoon - children can come to school in their PE kit 

   

  A shout out to you all!!!

  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 🙂 

   

  Have a lovely weekend and we'll see you all on Monday 

   

  Take care, stay safe and thanks for your continued support, 

   

  Mrs B and the FL Team 🙂
