FROGGY STARS - STRIVE -TEAM - AMBITION - RESILIENCE = SUCCESS
Summer Term – 16.06.23
What a great start to the new term!
This week all classes have had a special visit from Froggy, who came to meet our super scientists. All children have had the opportunity to communicate their learning with other year groups. It has been lovely to see many children continuing their learning at home too! This term we are focusing on consolidating our learning from across the year. Our reception pupils have enjoyed meeting some special creatures, whilst our nursery pupils have opened their own grooming parlour! Within KS1, the children have started looking at what makes Flowery special, exploring our school grounds and local community, they are keen to make a difference and have been considering how they can improve our local environment.
We have lots of fun activities planned for the summer term, including our whole school dance, our annual sports week and a whole school picnic to celebrate Eid Ul Adha. During our annual sports week there will be also be an opportunity for families to participate in some family after school events. Details of these can be found below. Please note you will only need to book one place for your whole family.
Following the success of our Father’s Day craft event, our Flowery Friends’ team are busy planning our final summer event, School’s out for Summer! We are extremely grateful to our amazing team of volunteers who put on these events but recognise that further support is needed if we are to meet the needs of our community. Please consider attending our next meeting to look at how you can support our community. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday 26th June at 6pm in school.
As we approach the end of the school year, we are currently preparing for our transition events which will take place over the next few weeks. I would like to take this opportunity to announce the retirement of Mrs Slinn and Mrs Smith, who will both be leaving us at the end of the summer term. Both colleagues have made a huge difference to so many lives at Flowery, they are a huge part of what makes Flowery special and will be missed by us all! I know you would all like to join me in thanking them for their dedication and commitment during their expansive careers. I know that they have worked with so many members of our community and that you will all have special memories you may wish to share. We will be having a special assembly on Friday 21st July in recognition of the huge contribution they have made to our whole school community and would welcome families to contribute any photos/memories they have. Both colleagues will be attending our final family event scheduled for the 19th July which will give families a chance to meet with them in person to wish them well on their retirement.
Finally, we would like to wish our cheerleaders good luck as they participate in the National School’s Cheerleading competition. This is an amazing opportunity for our young people who have worked extremely hard over the last few months to learn and polish their routine. They have already showcased their routine to others within school who were mesmerised by their performance.
Wishing you all a relaxing and enjoyable weekend.
Mrs Silk
