Lunchtime Art Club

Some of our Year 5 children have worked with Mr Farlow this half term, to develop their drawing skills using oil pastels. They have developed their knowledge about colour choice, perspective and blending, and it has linked to their learning about Vikings. They have shown great resilience and pride in their work.

Dental Nurse visit in Reception

Today we have had a visit from Zoe, the dental nurse, to remind us of good toothbrushing habits.

  • Brush twice daily
  • Use a pea sized amount of toothpaste
  • Brush for 2 minutes
  • Visit the dentist every 6 months
  • Spit – don’t rinse
  • Avoid sugary foods and drinks

The children loved practising cleaning the dragons teeth!

School Photographs

Thursday 19th September 

School photographs are planned for the morning of Thursday 19th September.

If you have a child who attends Nursery for the afternoon session only then please come along and have your photographs taken at 8am.

All children will have their photograph taken individually and with siblings who are in school. We are unable to offer this to siblings who do not attend as we only have a morning session.

Year 6 applying for a Secondary School Place

Good afternoon,

It is that time of year again where you need to start thinking and looking at which secondary school you would like your child to attend in September 2025.

To apply for your place you need to access the Telford and Wrekin website and follow the pages thread below:

It should take you to a page that looks something like this:

Click the red button and make your choices.

It is vital that you make the maximum amount of choices; our experience is that if you only put one and you are not allocated this then you are given any school and that could be the other side of Telford. Visiting the schools is a great idea so you can see what they are like and get a feel for if your child will be happy and successful there; as soon as these dates are available we will let you know.

We are happy to help you complete your application and we have many colleagues that can help! Just pop and see Mrs Pilgrim or the Y6 teachers and we will organise this.

The deadline is: 31st October 2024 and applications MUST be submitted by then.

Letter from Telford and Wrekin

Behaviour Policy and Curriculum

Sir Alexander Fleming Primary School and Nursery

Behaviour Policy and Curriculum

‘Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviour.’
Mahatma Gandhi

What do our children think about our Behaviour Systems?

“Opportunities can never be reached unless you are well-behaved”

“Our rocket system works well as it shows the children that they have consequences”

“The teachers are fair and follow through with the consequences”

“It is a good system because there are lots of people to talk to who support you, like the SLT, Rainbow Room, Mrs Fisher, behaviour mentors”

“You can go to the calm room if you feel stressed or worried”

Everyone has a right to feel safe at school. The staff at Sir Alexander Fleming Primary School and Nursery are committed to ensuring that every child is protected from harm. Everyone is of equal value and will be valued equally regardless of whether they have a disability, whatever their ethnicity, culture, religious affiliation, national origin, or national status, whatever their gender and gender identity and whatever their sexual identity.

It is everyone’s responsibility to help make our school a happy place where everyone can be successful. We expect that the respectful behaviour of children will enable teachers to teach, and each other to learn. Everyone is responsible for their own behaviour and our expectation is for good behaviour offline and online. Good behaviour is something to be proud of and so is rewarded and celebrated. The education of many children will be protected from disruption by a minority who are demonstrating unacceptable behaviour; this will be met with consequences. Parents will be informed about the expectations of the school and about the consequences if the child behaves inappropriately in school, in the community and online.

Please find attached a copy of our school behaviour policy and behaviour curriculum for 2024.

If you have any questions regarding our behaviour policy or curriculum please do not hesitate to ask your class teacher or any member of staff.

Look at our sunflowers 🌻

During the Spring and Summer term, we learnt firsthand that:

Many plants grow out of seeds.

Seeds grow into seedlings with roots and shoots.

Roots and shoots then grow leaves above ground.

Many plants make flowers, which turn into fruits.

Flowers and fruits make their own seeds.

Look at our fabulous sunflowers!

We will collect the seeds in the Autumn, ready to plant again next Spring. 🌻

Thanks to Miss Beacham for photographing these yesterday.

Year 1 Printing

Mr Farlow has worked with our Year One children to produce amazing prints in the style of Alma Woodsey Thomas.

Miss Hullin has had them framed for the children’s end of year gift as they are so special!
