Monday 23 September
Wider Achievement Day
Next week is our 'I’m the Only I’ week. As well as
participating in electing new pupil council representatives and our World
Family Day, we will be celebrating our uniqueness as a way of increasing our
individual self worth.
Please come and join us in the school hall for ‘Flora’s World Family Day’ on Friday from 12.00 to 2.00pm which is also part of the Stockfest Event. Please see previous Flyer for more detailed information. We are still looking for volunteers to bring examples of different cultures foods to the event on Friday. Children may wish to come to school dressed in National dress on Friday.
Tuesday 24th September will be our Wider Achievement Day. Children can come to school dressed in an outfit which represents a hobby or interest they have outwith school e.g a brownies outfit, a sports outfit, an apron etc. Our school policy does not allow children to wear football strips to school, however on this occasion children may wear sports strips representing a country team but not a local/UK team. Our talents, skills, interests and cultures are diverse at Flora’s and we would look forward to a week where we can share them with our ‘Flora’s Family’.

General Reminders
Please continue to regularly check your child's hair for head lice.
Please continue to label your child's clothes and check that the correct items are being brought home. On occasion items do get muddled up and go home with the wrong pupil.
