FROGGY STARS - STRIVE -TEAM - AMBITION - RESILIENCE = SUCCESS
Week – 06.09.24
What an exciting first week back!
Thank you for your support in helping your children settle back into school. It’s been great to see the way they have adjusted to their new classes, tackling new challenges with enthusiasm, determination and resilience.
To ensure that your child is able to participate fully and gain the most from school, we need them to arrive promptly, school starts at 8:45am. Key Stage 2 children (Y3-6) will be collected from the playground. There will be chance to speak to class teachers at the end of the school day or by making an appointment through the school office.
Please ensure you have updated the My Child at School App. This will enable you to select your child’s lunch, check attendance and book on after school clubs. Important updates are also sent through the app. Please see the office if you need support in accessing the app. Our website also contains important information such as our newsletters and upcoming events. Reminders will be provided through the My Child at School App. These are also displayed on our school calendar: www.floweryfieldschool.org.uk/calendar.
Our assemblies this week have reinforced our expectations around school. We have focused on what it means to be part of Flowery Field through our Froggy Stars! These focus on the key learning behaviours we wish to promote at Flowery (STRIVE, TEAMWORK, AMBITION and RESILIENCE) to ensure all can achieve success. We will continue to have celebration events each half term to share our learning and celebrate our successes. These will be posted on our calendar and parents are welcome to attend.
We know that many families will have invested in new uniform, please can we remind all families to ensure all uniform is labelled with names and classes. We would like to remind families that all children are expected to wear school shoes. Details of our uniform policy can be found here: https://floweryfieldschool.org.uk/parents/school-uniform. Our PE and dance kits consists of a royal blue T-shirt and black or blue shorts. We are happy for children to purchase a school fleece or Flowery Field hoody to wear over their PE kit.
We are grateful for your support around the morning and afternoon routines has ensured we can enter and leave school safely. Please remember that school has a designated drop off area in a morning to help ease the problems with traffic. There are lots of friendly faces around to welcome your child and escort them to class but we do ask that cars are not left unattended. Our after-school clubs will recommence from Monday 16th September. All places need to be booked through the MCAS app. Booking opens at 3 15pm on Monday 9th September. School do offer wrap around support should any family require support before 8 30 or after 3 15. Places are chargeable and can be booked through the app.
Finally, I would like to invite families to our first ‘Meet the Teacher’ event. This will take place after school on Monday, This will provide a chance for you to visit your child’s class and pass on any important information. There will be further opportunities throughout the year. If you have any questions, please find a member of our pastoral team who are around before and after school.
Wishing you an enjoyable and relaxing weekend
Mrs Claire Silk
