Newsletter

Breakfast Club
I am delighted to tell you that Breakfast Club will begin on Monday. Those children who have filled in forms are requested to arrive in school by 8.00 a.m. and enter the school hall via the side entrance. My supervisors will be able to explain the routines to the children during this first week. As the children will remain in breakfast club until 8.45 please can I ask you to bring in any unwanted board games or other items that may keep them entertained after they have finished eating. Bulletins will be updated on the blog.
St David's Day
Thank you for your support for our concerts to celebrate St David's Day last week. Both concerts were very well attended and your generous donations will go to the school fund. I was very proud of the children's performances and would like to thank all the staff for their hard work in preparing the children. Diolch yn fawr!

Techniquest trip
Please can I thank parents in Early years and KS 1 for your response towards the trip last week. There was some confusion regarding the request for a voluntary contribution which I will need to clarify in a specific newsletter next term. I will outline the current school policy on charging for educational visits and inform you of some new guidelines that we have received from the Welsh Assembly Government regarding off site trips. I am sure that once this information has been communicated to you any misunderstandings will be avoided in the future.

PTA
A meeting of the Parents Association will take place at the Ton Pentre Football Club on Wednesday 19th March at 7.00 p.m. We need to discuss arrangements for the Summer Fate and beyond. Please will parents make every effort to support the PTA in their work by attending meetings. We always encourage our newer parents to join the association.

Easter Holidays
We are approaching the end of the Spring term which has flown this year due to the early Easter holiday. School will end on Thursday 20th March and children will be back in school on Wednesday 9th April. The staff will receive in service training on the 7th and 8th.
