Week 2 16.09.22 Teamwork

Week two comes to the end of a very positive start to the year. Thank you to all the children for trying their best; to the parents for your support and communication allowing us to keep things working; and, especially, to the teachers and support staff who have been working so hard to establish effective learning routines and behaviours across the school. I believe teaching is the best job in the world and I love it - even in challenging times. It is a pleasure to lead such a talented and committed group of individuals who are always giving their best to the school and the community. I photographed the banner image during the summer when the staff were working together to achieve a goal - literally! It also made me feel this was a great opportunity for a friendly caption competition. Do send in your ideas to admin@littlegreen.herts.sch.uk and I'll share these next week!

We have been developing some shared writing around Diversity and continue this next week - I look forward to sharing some of the children's incredible reflections with you. As we enter the long weekend, I am sure many of us will reflect on the Queen's life and funeral and I sign off, respectfully, with a poem and a video of memories we shared on Monday with the children to celebrate the Queens' life.

Phillip came to me today,

and said it was time to go.

I looked at him and smiled,

as i whispered that "I know"

I then turned and looked behind me,

and saw I was asleep.

All my Family were around me,

and I could hear them weep.

I gently touched each shoulder,

with Phillip by my side.

Then I turned away and walked,

with My Angel guide.

Phillip held my hand,

as he lead the way,

to a world where King's and Queens,

are Monarch's every day.

I was given a crown to wear

or a Halo known by some.

The difference is up here,

they are worn by everyone.

I felt a sense of peace,

my reign had seen its end.

70 years I had served my Country,

as the peoples friend.

Thank you for the years,

for all your time and love.

Now I am one of two again,

in our Palace up above.

Nature Photo Competition

Thank you so much to all the children who have sent in entries. Please do take a moment to photograph some nature in Croxley and send it in to admin@littlegreen.herts.sch.uk or bring in a print. We will be displaying these in the coming weeks and choosing a winner. Here's a few inspirations already received!

Year Group Communications Websites

The Year Group leaders have been working to update their Year Group Communication Pages - a one-stop shop for year group specific information. Please do give us feedback if you feel they can be improved. We hope they make searching for year group specific information simple and accessible.

Little Green Cartoon 5 - Tobbi Meets the Queen!

Welcome back everyone!

Stationery sets

Thank you to everyone who ordered stationery sets - it was the first time FOLG had tried this and it seemed to go relatively smoothly. All packs should have now been received by those who placed orders.

If you missed out on ordering stationery sets we have received new stock and will be opening the opportunity to order on PTA events again - the introductory price has unfortunately finished so packs will now be priced at a very competitive £8 (still far cheaper than you can source on the high street!) and can be ordered via: www.pta-events.co.uk/folg. Information of what is contained in the packs can be found at this link.

Second hand uniform

Good quality second hand uniform can be ordered from Faye via folg-uniform@littlegreen.herts.sch.uk - most items are just 50p. Send an email outlining the items you wish to order - remember to include sizes and your child's class - you will then receive an email to let you know when your items are ready to collect from the school office.

Cheese and Wine welcome event

FOLG would like you to join their first PTA meeting of the year which will be a cheese and wine evening held in the school hall. The meeting will be held on Monday 3rd October at 7:30pm for a 7:45pm start. Please bring fundraising ideas as we would love to hear them. Everybody welcome - we look forward to seeing you then.
