Fleetville Infant and Nursery School NEWSLETTER
Summer Term 24th April 2009
A note from the Headteacher Welcome back to
everyone after the holidays we hope you all had a
lovely break and are refreshed and ready for the
new Summer Term. We are looking forward to some
better weather and hope all the children can
enjoy the outdoors a little more! Androulla Peek,
Headteacher
General info
Sunwatch Days Now that the warm and sunny
weather is here we would like to take this
opportunity to remind you of some
of the sensible precautions that could be taken
to ensure your childs well being during the
school day. Sun cream can be put on just before
leaving for school which should last them through
the school day. We would ask that children do
not bring sun cream with them to school. We feel
it is important for children to enjoy their
playtimes and ask that they bring in a sun hat to
wear every time they go out. If you dont have
your own - caps and sunhats are available to
purchase from the school office. PLEASE MAKE
SURE ALL ITEMS ARE NAMED. At lunchtime play on
really hot sunny days (from 12.30 onwards) the
children are moved out of the sun as far as
possible asked to play quiet games given the
opportunity to read, draw or watch a video in the
hall. All children are positively encouraged to
drink at least one full glass of water at
lunchtime and they have free access to water at
other times from the fountains in the playground.
Children are very welcome to wear sandals but
they must be sturdy and have a heel strap (no
flipflops/crocs etc please). Socks are not
compulsory. Due to the unpredictable nature of
the weather occasionally it would also be helpful
if children could still bring in a waterproof in
case of showers.
Water It is very important that the children have
water in school, especially as the weather is
getting much warmer. Could you please make sure
that all children come to school with a water
bottle every day clearly marked with their name
and class. The bottles must have a sports type
top and only contain water. They should always
be taken home overnight to be cleaned/replaced.
Thanks.
Voucher Collections Just a reminder to say
that we are still collecting vouchers for
Sainsburys, Tesco, Flora, The Times and Nestlé.
Thank you to everyone who has already
contributed. This is a superb way for the school
to obtain some excellent resources for the
children to enjoy.
Year 2 children Date for your diary. For those
of you transferring to the Junior school next
September there will be a parents meeting held on
2nd July at 7pm at the Juniors.
CREATIVE ARTS WEEK starts Monday 27th
April Our Theme for this week will be Africa and
we will be participating in lots of exciting arts
events. As classes will be working off
timetable, reading and spelling sessions may not
take place and we would appreciate it if the
parent helpers due in this week would be able to
help with our crafts.
