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!

School Uniform Expectations 2024

Uniform Expectations 2024 <– click here

Good afternoon,

At Sir Alexander Fleming Primary School and Nursery, we believe children should feel a sense of pride in being a member of our school family. This is reflected in the pride they show when wearing our school uniform.

We commit to our duty to make sure that our uniform is affordable, in line with statutory guidance from the Department for Education on the cost of school uniform. We try to ensure that uniform is available at a reasonable cost and that it provides the best value for our parents and carers.

Please find attached the ‘Uniform Expectations for September 2024’.

We are sending this out now so that you can familiarise yourself with it and ensure that you are confident in any purchases you make over the summer holidays.

Best wishes,

Mrs Tomlinson

Summer Water Safety

The Health Protection Hub at Telford & Wrekin Council have asked us send out some information to you on summer water safety. With the current hot weather, children, particularly older children, may look to go swimming in open water to cool down and have fun. This comes with various risks – cold water shock, currents, hidden underwater dangers and diseases such as Weil’s disease. 46% of drownings occur in the summer months and this rises to 75% amongst 13–17 year olds. Educating children on these dangers is important in preventing tragic incidents.

The Royal Life Saving Society and the Canal & River Trust have some good resources with more information on this to discuss with your children:

A fun ‘Art Day’ in Reception/Year 1!

We have been learning about an African lady called Wangari, whose determination to see a greener future was inspirational. We successfully used charcoal to create her portrait, using contrasting tints and shades.

Our beautiful bees were created with watercolours and pen and our printed cats were inspired by the work of Sonia Delaunay.
