Sainsbury’s Active Kids 2016 is Launched
I am very pleased to announce the launch of this year’s Sainsbury’s voucher scheme. Last
year we collected over 30,000 vouchers and we bought PE resources to further enhance the
children’s sporting experience at school.
Everyone who sees our children doing PE is
amazed at some of the fantastic equipment they
have to use. This year our target is 40,000
vouchers and we want to buy more inclusive
equipment.
PLEASE HELP US — THANK YOU!

Federation Fitness Event comes to Fairisle
Fairisle Junior hosted the first Federation event of the year last Friday, putting on a series of intense physical challenges for our partner schools. Children from Fairisle Junior, Oakwood and Mansel Park battled it out with a series of events that included a ‘bleep test’, a cross country run and a fitness circuit.
Sky Bedwell said ‘We all had a great day. We got to speak to children from the other schools. It felt really good when we won, especially that we beat our local rivals!’
Well done and congratulations to Fairisle Junior who finished with the highest score. The next Federation sports event will take place after the Easter holiday.
E-Safety Day at Fairisle Junior
On Tuesday this week we celebrated Safer Internet Day,
in which we took the opportunity to remind the children
how we can use the internet positively and safely. In year
groups on Tuesday Mrs Saunders and our ICT Technician
Dan Worthington, talked with the children about keeping
safe online and how to ensure the privacy settings on
Playstations and X-Box consoles were properly set. Then
the children participated in activities in class.
Year 4 Visit to the Hindu Temple
Last week, Year 4 visited the Vedic Society Hindu temple in Northam. This trip was part of the topic on India and gave the children the opportunity to experience the exotic sights and smells. Although a service was in progress when we arrived, the children watched and listened very respectfully and were a real credit to the school. They were fascinated by the pictures and statues of the various Hindu Gods and produced some fantastic drawings of what they saw. All children agreed that they enjoyed the trip very much and had learnt so much more about India and Hinduism.

Attendance and Punctuality — Spring Term 2016
I am overwhelmed that attendance at Fairisle Junior has been the best ever during this term. Since
Christmas, a staggering 169 children attended school on-time every day (147 this time last year) and 62
children have attended on-time every day since September (43 this time last year). I would like to say a
huge ‘well done’ and congratulations to everyone (and their families of course!) .
The following children came to school on time every day during this half term from Tuesday 5th
January to Friday 12th February and those children in bold type have attended on-time every day
since September. Overall attendance since September is a fantastic 96.7%. Very well done!
