Welcome to this week’s Flyer
Well done to all our new pupils. Our
New Nursery and Primary One children have settled into the school routine very
well indeed! The school has increased in size this year. We now have 526 pupils
in 19 classes. By September, there will be 120 children in our nursery.
P1 and P2
A massive well done to our Primary 1
and Primary 2 children who have been working in their house groups. The Teddy
Bears’ Picnic was a huge success and thankfully, the P2 pirates saved the
Flora’s treasure! A big thank you to Andres, a parent from P3 who made all our
pirates a balloon sword!
Lost Property
We have gathered up a lot of lost
property, mostly without names and would be grateful if you could check your
child’s belongings and claim your items. The lost property will be recycled
after one month. Thank you.
Flora’s International Day, Friday 19th
September
On Friday
19th September, from 12.30 – 3 p.m., Flora Stevenson Primary School is
taking part in Stockfest (a week
long community festival in Stockbridge). Flora’s
International Day is an opportunity to celebrate the wonderful cultural
diversity we have at our school.
The previous occasions have been hugely
popular and we look forward to repeating our success this year and are looking
for parents / carers, from a range of different cultural backgrounds, to decorate
a stall/ table in the school hall, to represent a particular country or region
of the world. For example South American countries may wish to group together
depending on numbers of interested parents. Likewise, if several people from
the same country would like to be involved (ie: France), they may share and
decorate a stall together.
On the day, the doors will be open to
anyone who wishes to come, and they will be able to visit all of the different
stalls. Children will be issued with a special passport that can be stamped at
each stall they visit.
Parents and children would be able to
decorate or set up their stall as they like, using pictures, photographs,
artefacts and souvenirs from their countries. The stalls can be prepared on the
day from 11 a.m. Stall holders should also have a stamp or stickers from their
country to put on the pupils’ passports.
There will be opportunities for
children throughout the school to be involved in activities and art work
relating to the event, in the weeks leading up to Flora’s International Day
There will also be an International Café in the dining hall,
from 12.30 – 3p.m., parents will be asked to kindly contribute some baked goods
representing different cultural backgrounds to sell on the day. These can be
handed into the school office on the morning of the 19th September.
The event will be free, but a small
charge will be asked to buy food or drink from the Café on the day. All
children must be accompanied by an adult.
If you would like to be involved in
setting up a stall and / or bringing food in on the day, please return the form below to class teachers or office staff by Friday 12th of September. If you
would like further information please email j.ali-knight@napier.ac.uk
