Sunny (mostly!) summer term of fun...

Wow! What an amazing start we have had to the final term at Furze Platt Junior School! Not only has the weather been mostly fantastic, we have already enjoyed many events as you will see in this edition of our Newsletter. The Year 3's have enjoyed an excellent Egyptian day, Year 4's have had a 2-day amazing activity and team building trip to Longridge, the Year 6's have becoming budding entrepreneurs, making and investing money in their business projects and the entire school has enjoyed a dance roadshow and a euro day. Yesterday we enjoyed the most epic Sports Day (minus parents- sorry!) and were lucky enough to squeeze this in around the forecasted rain. We did manage to take a vast amount of photos though for parents to enjoy- see the link later in the newsletter. Who said anything about the summer term being a wind-down? Not at FPJS!

We have also been waiting on tenderhooks for government advice on what we can do in line with the extended restrictions and although this unfortunately has meant we were unable to invite parents to sports day, we have managed to organise the Y6 play and Leavers' ceremony to take place outdoors in a marquee, with parents in attendance. We were also thrilled to finally find out that the Y6 Rhos-y-Gwaliau residential can go ahead next week.

We look forward to the final 3 weeks of term, with many other exciting things in store for our children including the transition morning to meet their new class and teacher which is planned for Weds 14th July.
