What a fantastic week at Flora’s!
Our Friday Assemblies focussed on Keeping Connected and
having a BACK UP TEAM! We know that positive friendships help our health and
wellbeing and over the next few weeks we will be identifying our back up team,
thinking about extending our friendship circles and recognising the qualities
we need to be a good back up team member to our friends and family.
We had an outstanding piano solo from one of our P7 Music
School Students. As she played we allowed our imaginations to wander and our
P1s said the music made them think of ‘a whale in the ocean’, ‘a ballet dancer’
and ‘a train going really fast’. It’s wonderful to have such inspirational
contributions from our instrumentalists.
Other contributions were celebrated at our Head Teacher’s
Tea Party. Our children have been awarded certificates from their class
teachers for putting in extra effort, being kind and helpful and for being
resilient!
A huge thank you to a group of parents who are helping us
reorganise our art resources. Over the next few weeks I will be meeting parents
to look at our transition process and how we continue to ensure our new
families are welcomed and supported when they join our school. If you would
like to contribute to the discussion please contact your class parent council
rep.
