Many Congratulations to some of our former pupils who made a splendid animation ‘Secret of the Seas’ with teacher Simon Jackson. (Mr Jackson is currently on a sabbatical, teaching in Cairo.) The children's film on caring for our environment has been awarded first prize in the 4 -11 age group –of the Hot Water Animation Awards - a unanimous decision by the judges. A super achievement, well done! Part of the prize is a special resource from the leading British Manufacturer of ecological cleaning products. Mr Stewart will present the school with an Eco Turtle (rainforest friendly washing up liquid) at our Citizenship Gathering on Monday along with a representative from Deep Sea World. Well done, indeed!
COLD WEATHER
As the weather gets colder we would appreciate it if you could send your child to school dressed in weather appropriate clothing. Clothes should be clearly marked with your child’s name. Thanks

Flora's chess players did extremely well at a Chess Competition last Sunday.
Florence P3, Kasey P3, Philip P4, Wojciech P5 and Benedict P6 all took part.
Mrs Wilson who supervised the children said, ‘They all enjoyed playing and often when they came out of matches it was difficult to guess the result as the smiles were just as big whether they won or lost. Their behaviour all day long was impeccable and they showed great maturity. There were 27 players in the P5 & Under (ungraded) category which all our players apart from Benedict were in, and Philip won it with a score of 5 (out of a possible 6) and was presented with a wonderful gold trophy!’
Several children from P5, P6 and P7 also competed in a Swimming Gala last weekend. Yasmin, P5, Jannike, Daniel P, Daniel M in P6, Ellie, Abbi, Aidan and Marc in P7 who all swam really well with many achieving personal bests in their times in a very competitive field! Again, the children were a great credit to Flora’s.
Very well done to you all.
