A warm welcome back to school after the Easter Break!

The KFJS Election Fortnight is here! During the next two weeks, we will be holding our own KFJS election, with the pupils putting forward their ideas on how to improve our school. Everyone will have a vote, and throughout the process, the children will be learning about democracy, rights, and elections. Of course, the winning idea will be carried out!

On Wednesday, we will be welcoming Susan Bowen from Hewlett Packard, who will be inspiring us about the world of work.

Finally, don’t forget that Mrs O’Brien officially retires on 30th April. Please do pop in and say ‘Hello’ before she leaves! Mrs Bristow joins us from Monday, and we look forward to her settling in and becoming part of the team.

Over £150 was raised by Charlotte last week after she took part in a sponsored silence, and also helped organise and run a coffee morning! The money was presented by the Year 5 pupil to Sebastian’s Action Trust during the visit to Bluebells yesterday. What a thoughtful – and quiet – thing to do! Well done Charlotte; we are all very proud of you!

A huge thank you to Mrs Strachan for speaking to our pupils today. They heard about what it’s like working as a duty manager for the Anvil and Haymarket theatres, and how our learning behaviours continue into the workplace! Brilliant! Mrs Strachan finished by leaving us a quote from Dr Seuss- see below

Several of our school council took a trip to Bluebells, the residential centre run by Sebastian’s Action Trust. It provides respite breaks for very ill children and their families. We’re supporting the charity because we want to help children and families who are less fortunate than ourselves, and who need our help. Our pupils were quite moved by all that they saw. A wonderful opportunity.

The penultimate week before the Easter holidays promises to be a busy one!

 

Monday – Assembly learning about democracy.
Tuesday – Year 4 football team play Fairfields- good luck everyone!
Wednesday – Non Uniform Day- take part by bringing an Easter Egg for the Variety club, who will give them to children in need. Also, some of our school councillors are going to visit Bluebells, the residential home of Sebastians Action Trust. Mrs Strachan also speaks to us about working in the theatre!
Thursday – Second Hand Uniform Sale at Infants – 3pm-3:45pm.
Friday – Celebration assembly. Draw takes place for a £50 Easter Meat Raffle- 3pm at the Infants.

 

Don't forget to book your place for the Easter Egg Hunt from Monday 23 March (tickets available from Infants).

We enjoyed watching the eclipse together this morning. It was too cloudy outside, so we watched the event on iPlayer. Quite a spectacular few moments!

 

A letter went out today announcing Mrs O’Brien’s retirement, which is well deserved after working at KFJS for over 27 years!

Well done to our fantastic Y5/6 football teams who took part in a large tournament in Southampton last week. Both teams won 3 games and lost 2, and needless to say their sportsmanship was very good. We're very proud of them. There are more games on Monday against local schools.
