  • Bag2School in October- help raise school funds!

    Fri 21 Sep 2012

    Bag2School is a company, who work with schools in raising money for school, and providing resources to disadvantaged people. The idea is that parents are given a special blue bag, which is taken home and filled up with old clothes, shoes and textiles. This is then returned to school, and collected by the company. For each kilo of clothes, the HSA will get 50p, which will be distributed between the Infants and Juniors.

     

    The bags will be delivered to us around the 15th October. If you have any clothes to donate to this scheme, please bring them in (in the blue bag!) during the week of the 4th of November. Thank you!

  • Music lessons are coming!

    Thu 20 Sep 2012

    Many parents have asked for music lessons for their children, and we know that giving children opportunities to learn an instrument adds to their enjoyment in life. If the Olympics has taught us anything, it’s that we must provide all we can for our children now, so that they are able to use their talents to succeed and enjoy!

    Therefore, we’re pleased to be offering guitar lessons starting weekly on Tuesday 8th October. They will be run by a qualified guitar teacher, who came into assembly this morning to talk about it with the children. Look in the letters section of the website for details.

    We’ll be starting keyboard lessons too, but are in the middle of arranging the details. Watch this space!

  • Open Afternoon

    Mon 10 Sep 2012

    Thank you to everyone who attended our open afternoon today. The children really enjoyed having their parents, relatives and siblings in class, and we hope you found it useful, informative and fun! Thank you also for your suggestions on ways that we can make Kings Furlong Juniors even better. Watch this space- we’re working on implementing your suggestions. And it you didn’t get to share your opinions, please do come and see Mr Applegate anytime.

     
  • Japser the rabbit

    Fri 07 Sep 2012

    Stop Press! Unfortunately, Jasper has had to retire from his busy work of sleeping, eating and hopping around at KFJS. He is getting a little too old for it, and now lives at Mrs Rowe’s house- or shall we say hotel?! He is living the good life, and we wish him the best! Can you think of a different animal we could have at school?

     

    Jasper is our school rabbit! He lives in a hutch in the courtyard, and is allowed to hop about to get some exercise

     

    Please could you keep Jasper’s hutch clean.  This means cleaning away any soiled bedding (straw and sawdust) from his hutch every day.  You will also need to keep the courtyard clean for him too.  There is a dustpan and brush to help you. Also remember to wear gloves and wash you hands with soap afterwards.

     

     Jasper will be fed by Mrs Rowe to make sure he eats the right food every day and she will check his water bottle and bowl are okay too.

    Jasper will need lots of love and brushing his coat would be good too.

    You will need to talk to Mrs Rowe at lunchtime before seeing Jasper.  She will need two helpers each day so could the volunteers from each class speak to her first before helping Jasper.

     

    Don’t forget Jasper would love to see you any time of the day as long as an adult accompanies you.
