  • Parents Open Afternoons

    Fri 28 Sep 2012

    Following on from our successful open afternoon at the beginning of the year, we’d like to invite you to a class / year group specific afternoon of activity. The idea is to enjoy a practical task with your child in class, to support them in their learning, or see them present what they have been learning. The dates for these afternoons are as follows:

     

    • 9th November: 5A
    • 13th November: 5D
    • 16th November: 4B
    • 22nd November: 4H
    • 23rd November: 3C & 3AB
    • 30th November: 6R & 6S

     

    Class teachers will be in touch nearer the date with more information, such as timings and what to expect! There will also be tea, coffee and refreshments available, either before or after the event.

  • Thank you

    Thu 27 Sep 2012

    As my first month draws to an end, I would like to say a huge thank you for making me feel so welcome. I have felt first hand the warmth of our school community, and am confident that together we can make Kings Furlong Juniors an even greater school. It’s an exciting time, and I am looking forward to all that this year holds for all of us. Thanks again, Mr Applegate.

     
     
  • Can you help out at school?

    Thu 27 Sep 2012
    Could you come into school 20 minutes early at the end of the day, or spend 30 minutes at school during lunch? This may be with reading to children, helping them to learn times tables, or even admin style tasks. Do get it touch with the office

  • You’ve asked, and we’re working on it!

    Thu 27 Sep 2012

    At our recent parents forum in the first week of term, it was suggested that we could improve Kings Furlong Juniors  by asking other secondary schools besides Cranbourne to visit our Year 6 pupils. We’re in discussions at the minute to make this happen. Music lessons were also a favoured suggestion. Guitar lessons are in place, news of keyboard lessons are coming soon, and we are also looking at a recorder club. Another request was to ensure we keep the online calendar up-to-date. This is being actively carried out, as well as ensuring there is plenty of news and events communicated via our website. As a staff, we have been working on how we can better support children who find writing particularly difficult. We are also discussing how we can communicate with you more effectively about your child’s progress.

     
  • Farewell to our Friday Flyers

    Thu 27 Sep 2012

    Today will see the last Friday Flyer for now. With the improvements to our website, we would like to put all school information on it. Why the change? Well, the website allows us to add more details of school news and events, including pictures and/or videos. Further, the Friday Flyer gets put on the website anyway, so it does seem to duplicate work. If you’ve been given a paper copy of the Friday Flyer, please do come and see the office, where we can discuss alternatives with you. We aim to keep all our parents and carers informed.
