Dear Parents/Carers,

 

I hope you are all enjoying the summer weather.  Let's hope that we have some sunshine in July and August too!

 

Myself and teachers have been very busy writing school reports.  They will be emailed

to you via your child`s Hwb email on Tuesday July 18th from 1pm . As a treat for staff Mrs. Kelly Smith organised a staff wellbeing breakfast which was greatly appreciated. Kelly is a talented baker and treated staff to her delicious muffins.   
 

Well done boys - Sporting achievement - 4 boys get their district caps!!!

GW, CG, LA and AK have made us exceptionally proud. All 4 gaining their u11s cap for @Llwchwr_Schools 👏. They are talented players who all play for u11s at Penclawdd RFC. Watch out for them in the future ! See here 

 

Baby Talk

The baby talk classes are well attended and we have received a great response from visitors.  On Wednesday 5th July 2023 at 10am the class will be visited by the occupational health visitor.  Anyone with a child under 2 years is welcome to pop in and ask questions about physical development.   Please just come along to the school and Mrs. Beynon will sign you in. 

 

Buzz Along

Mrs. Davies and Ms. Smith took Year 3 children to the Brangwyn Hall for a Buzz Along session.  The event was attended by children from other schools and together they joined in and had a blast! (excuse the pun!).   Well done to staff and especially Mrs. Davies who has taught the children and has demonstrated patience as well as a wonderful sense of humour.  We know the children loved the experience and learnt new musical skills.
