Spare Clothes

Dear Parents,

As you know, accidents can happen unexpectedly, especially among our younger children during the school day and there are times when a spare change of clothing becomes necessary.

With this in mind, we kindly request your support in donating spare underwear, socks, pants, tights, shorts, and trousers. If you can donate any plastic carrier bags that we can put wet/soiled clothing in, we would really appreciate it.

These items would greatly assist us in promptly addressing any accidents that may occur, allowing our children to quickly return to their daily activities without discomfort or embarrassment.

Please note that at this time, we are specifically seeking donations of spare clothing items listed above. While we appreciate any offers of assistance, we currently do not require donations of school jumpers/cardigans/hoodies and t-shirts.

If you can contribute, please drop off your donations at the school office during school hours.

If your child is prone to accidents, we ask that they always have a spare change of clothing available in their school bags.

Thankyou in advance

A Gentle Reminder

Dear Families,

We wanted to send a gentle reminder about the importance of labelling your child’s jumpers, cardigans, bags and coats with their names clearly written.

It is very easy for items of clothing to get mixed up or misplaced at school. By labelling your child’s clothing, you not only help us to keep track of their belongings but also make it easier to return any lost items promptly.

We kindly request that you take a moment to check your child’s clothing and ensure that their jumpers, cardigans, and coats are clearly labelled with their name.

Additionally, if you suspect that your child may have accidentally brought home the wrong item of clothing, we kindly ask that you return it to the school at your earliest convenience. This will allow us to reunite the misplaced item with its rightful owner promptly.

Thankyou,

The John Fletcher of Madeley Primary School Team

Appeal

We are currently in need of old adult size t-shirts that can be repurposed for use in our art lessons. These t-shirts will be worn over the children’s school uniform, ensuring that they remain clean and protected during hands-on art activities.

If you have any old adult size t-shirts that you could spare, we kindly request that you consider donating them to our school. Donations can be dropped off at the main school office

Thankyou!

Music Heroes

We had a blast performing to the children and staff of John Fletcher Primary School as part of the “live experiences” tour of Shropshire schools. I am delighted to announce that the Music Heroes Instrumental tutors will be offering piano guitar, ukulele and drums to the children of the school (all subject to sufficient numbers).

Music Heroes is an instrumental tuition service providing tuition to children in schools in Shropshire, Telford and Powys. Our ethos is to provide affordable tuition in a contemporary and fun style; teaching the songs that our students want to play whether that be something by Ed Sheeran, Queen or Billie Eilish or their favourite theme tune! Learning an instrument is much more fun when you love the music you’re playing!! We can also prepare our students for Rock School Graded exams, if that is something they would like to do…but no pressure!

The Music Heroes tutors are experienced musicians, performers and singer/songwriters. Please have a look at our website; www.musicheroes.co.uk if you want to find out more about each of us. Music Heroes was founded and is managed by me, Gayle Kinsey in partnership with Dave Sylva. School provide the place, and we take care of everything else. All communications (including invoicing) is direct between Music Heroes and parent/student. Invoices are sent out via email at the beginning of each half term. We are passionate about instrumental tuition being affordable, so we won’t be beaten on
price for one to one tuition. Lessons are £9.99 for 20 minutes.

We are pleased to offer every child that is interested a free taster lesson. If you would like to sign up for this, please email Gayle directly and we will let you know when that will be as soon as possible.

Many thanks.

Regards,

Gayle Kinsey

In English, the children have completed their unit on diary writing. This week they wrote a diary entry as if they were there during ‘The Great Fire of London’. The children worked hard to recall all the features of diary writing and use them correctly.

In Maths, the children have been looking at fractions such as ½ and a ¼. They have been working at understanding and recognising fractions when shapes have been split equally.

This Friday, we celebrated ‘Red Nose Day’. The children all wore something red, designed their own red noses and were keen to share their jokes with each other!

Reminders:

  • Homework is due in on Thursday 21st March 
  • The spelling test will take place Friday 22nd March.
  • Reading books and a book for pleasure will be sent out on Fridays and e-books will be assigned.
  • E days are Monday and Wednesday
  • Our ‘Great Fire of London’ day will take place on Thursday 21st March.

Year 2 “Great Fire of London” Day!

The children have really enjoyed learning about the Great Fire of London. To end our topic, we would like to have a Great Fire of London Day in school on Thursday 21st March.

Children will bake bread and complete art and craft work for a display in school.

If they would like to, we are inviting the children to dress up in costume for the period. This is not compulsory and school uniform can be worn if they do not wish to dress up. We also have some period costumes in school that we will make available for children to dress up in class if they so wish.

Thankyou,

Mrs Painter and Miss Sankar
