Sport Relief

All children had a fantastic time participating in the Super SAF Obstacle Course today! There was a lot of fun, screams, mud and wet children! It was a great way to get our children active and having fun. I’m not sure who had more fun, the PE coaches or the children 🙂

Thank you to all who donated their sponsor money today, we have had some fantastic amounts! Please remember that the sponsor money needs to be in by Friday 13th March for the bounceathon, where all children, from Nursery to Year 6, will be participating.

Year 6 children are invited to attend the bounceathon between 6pm and 8pm on Thursday 12th March to support the teachers. They need to send their permission forms in and will need to be collected by a parent at 8pm.

Children are asked to come to school on Friday wearing sports kit for a contribution of £1 or your sponsor money.

I have attached the original letter that went out to parents on Friday 6 March 2020.

Bike Shed

There is now a new bike shed / area for children to store their bikes and scooters during the school day.

To access the bike shed you will need to go through the main entrance to the school and walk through the side gate and the bike racks are on the right. You will need to ensure that children are locking their bikes and scooters up as parents will have access to this area at certain times in the day.

There is now NO reason for children to be on the school car park on bikes or scooters.

Upcoming dates for your diary!

Please find information regarding upcoming events at Sir Alexander Fleming Primary School and Nursery for the next six weeks.

Letters will come out with more information nearer to the dates.

Year 4/5 STEM

This week, year 4/5 have had their STEM day. Children all made an orrery to show the moon orbiting the earth whilst also orbiting the sun. They then designed their own pulleys and planets on TinkerCAD which will allow them to use the 3D printer to print off their creations.

Mufti Day

Thank you to everyone who came to school dressed in their own clothes and donated their £1 to help us raise money to fund a trip to America for a young boy called Charlie, who attends John Randall Primary School. Hopefully, with the support of our community he will raise enough to have life saving proton therapy for stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma cancer. As a school, we raised £334.00 so once again, thank you!

Parking on the yellow zigzag lines

From Friday 31 January 2020, Telford and Wrekin are now responsible for civil parking enforcement or ‘CPE’. This means that it will be Telford & Wrekin Council, not the police, enforcing street parking restrictions across the borough. If you park illegally you will be subject to a fine called a penalty charge notice (or ‘PCN’) of £70 or £50 depending on the severity of the contravention. There’s a 50% discount for paying within 14 days.

CPE isn’t about making money for the Council. It’s about clearing the borough of illegal and inconsiderate parking. Our Neighbourhood Enforcement Officers work for Telford & Wrekin Council, not an external agency. They do not have ticketing targets and they do not get bonuses for issuing tickets.

As a school, we are constantly reminding parents that it is illegal for them to park on the yellow zigzag lines outside of school. It is unsafe and dangerous for our children and parents who are walking their children to school. Telford and Wrekin council will now fine you for parking on these lines and as a school we will fully support the council by reporting in repeat offenders.

If you do not wish to be offended when asked to move, do not park or drop off on the yellow zigzag lines.
