End of another year!
As another school year almost draws to a close, we would like to thank
all of the parents for their excellent support and engagement this year.
As this is my last FMP newsletter, I would like to take the opportunity to

and know that the school will continue to flourish next year. I wish you
all a wonderful summer break!

new challenge. We wish these members of staff well and thank them

outdoor learning will continue to be run across the school led by the whole
team as Mr Pritchett has a real vision for the development of our
grounds and local outdoor learning opportunities.

Donations from the Trust
The Trustees of Floreat are kindly donating funds to install a
Dewey Decimal System for our wonderful new library and to
improve the staff room facilities as our team grows.
We give a huge thank you to them.
Service Learning
As part of our Character curriculum, children enjoyed taking part in
different Service Learning Projects, which allow them the opportunity to
serve their community, family and other children. This week the school
has been full of amazing service learning.
The Year 1 children have hosted their own picnic events, where they have
prepared food and made kites to enjoy with their families as a sign of
gratitude.
In Year 1, the children have baked, iced and given biscuits to the
local police and fire brigade to thank them for serving our
community and showing such bravery.

In Year 2, the children served the local community by going litter picking
in the local area. After returning to school, they made posters to
encourage people to remember to pick up their litter.
Year 2 children have been supporting the Nursery children in their play
by being excellent role models and showing such kindness to our youngest
children.
In Reception, the
children have planned
and prepared a tea
party for their
families to show their
gratitude. They
prepared sandwiches,
decorated biscuits and
made decorations.
The Nursery children are looking forward to baking some delicious treats
for their adults in preparation for their Afternoon Tea on Tuesday at
3pm. We look forward to seeing our Earhart parents there!

Join the Space Chase Summer Reading Challenge from July to

in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing.
With lots of help from children taking part
in the Challenge, the Rockets will go on a
mission to try and find the missing books and
introduce the aliens to the wonders of the
library, where they can share stories together.
There’s plenty of peril along the way, from
black holes and shooting stars to the murky
depths of the alien ship. Let the Space Chase
begin!
The challenge will run from Monday 1st July to Sunday 1st September
2019.
