Dear Parent/ carer,
The summer term is moving along very quickly and we seem to have a lot to fit in during the next 5 weeks! Fingers crossed for lovely weather so we can make the most of our beautiful grounds and enormous field. We are looking forward to sports day, the Greg Rees tournament, Summer singalongs and maybe even a Summer fayre. If you are interested in helping the PTA put on a Summer fayre please let me know.
Thank you for returning your child’s application form for the ‘Food and Fun’ summer playscheme. Miss Kelshaw and Miss Sidaway will be able to answer any questions you may have so pop in and see them in breakfast club in the morning. The playscheme will commence on Monday 25th July for 12 days from 9am-1pm and will be open to KS2 children initially however if there are available spaces we will open to our younger pupils.
Our Year 6 children represented our school brilliantly on Monday during the question and answer session event with the staff and pupils from Penyrheol Comprehensive school. The Children showed respect, kindness and made a very good impression. Well done Year 6!
There are several visits and school trips over the next few weeks so if your child accesses free school meals please indicate on the consent form if you would like to access a free school packed lunch. Sometimes this food goes to waste if they are ordered and not needed so please let the class teacher know if you’d like one.
Attendance letters have been sent to those children who have lower than average attendance. Whilst we understand that some children have been more poorly than others particularly when we had regular covid cases, we also know that some children are not in school because it’s their birthday. This is not a reason to be absent! Children quite enjoy coming to school on their birthday and love to have a fuss on their special day. We have also been informed that some children are ’faking’ illness to avoid PE days, national tests, swimming and/or if they have had a quarrel with their friends. These are not acceptable reasons to be absent from school. As you know, we are here to help. If you need help and support regarding school attendance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Many thanks for your continued support.
Mrs Davies
