Newsletter 10.12.21
Dear Parents/carers,
This week has been a fun-filled festive time in school with Christmas jumpers, Christmas presents, and plenty of singing. Our Foundation Phase children have entertained us with singing, dancing, acting, and storytelling and I am pleased to tell you the four concerts have been very successful. Thank you to those parents who attended and followed our covid safe rules. Below is a reminder of the rules which will help to keep us all safe.
- Only 1 adult per child to attend the performance
- You must wear a mask unless you are exempt, in which case you must bring proof of exemption
- You need to sanitise on the way into the gym and on the way out (automatic sanitisers are available by the entrance and exit)
- You need to follow the one-way system and once seated remain there until the end of the performance
- When queuing you’ll need to be 2 metres apart
- All seats will be socially distanced and once you sit down, please do not move seats
- All seats will be cleaned after each performance
- If you take photographs, they are not to be put on social media as we have several children, for legal reasons, who cannot be in any pictures in school
- If you hear a fire alarm, you will need to leave by the emergency exit and wait in the car park. The children will wait on the yard with the staff and wait for further instructions.
Christmas present stall
Thank you for supporting our annual Christmas present wrapping stall today. Unfortunately, we did run out of presents by 10.30am however, we will have more stock delivered on Monday morning and the stall will be open for Year1, Nursery and Year 2 children to purchase something for their Mums and Dads.
PTA Raffle
The PTA have sold raffle tickets during the concerts which will be drawn on Wednesday 15th December. Some of the prizes this year include an overnight stay in Morgan’s hotel, a signed Swansea City football shirt, 4 tickets to watch a Swansea City home game, a bottle of Bacardi, several bottles of wine, several boxes of chocolates and many more! Tickets cost £1. If family members would like to purchase a ticket, please send money in to school before Wednesday.
After school clubs
A big thank you to the teaching staff for providing after-school clubs this term. There will be no clubs this week and they will start back after Christmas. Thank you to those who have filled out the survey for after-school child care. We are trying to arrange something for the New Year. More information will follow.
Class dojo
Please can I remind you that staff will only respond to class dojo messages between 8am and 5pm. Teachers have meetings after school, run after-school clubs and are busy planning and preparing your children’s lessons for the following day. Please use class dojo as a messaging tool for urgent or necessary messages only. Thank you!
Christmas Dinner
I am sure you will all be glad to know, hot meals are back and our school kitchen has re-opened! Christmas dinner will be on Tuesday 14th December for those who have requested a Christmas lunch.
Christmas parties
Nursery and Foundation Phase Christmas parties are on Thursday 16th December. The children can wear party clothes to school and will need to bring in an individually wrapped plate of party snacks for them to eat. Please cover in foil or cling film and write your child’s name on it.

Thank you again for all your continued support. I cannot believe it is almost the end of Autumn Term and the end of my first term as headteacher. I am very proud of every one of your children, how they have responded to everything that has happened during the last 2 years is superb. Have a relaxing weekend and stay safe!
Mrs Davies
