• Warm Weather

  Sun 29 Jun 2025

  Evening all,
  
  It looks like it’s going to be exceptionally warm tomorrow.
  
  Please make sure the children have their water bottles, lotion applied and a hat with their name inside.
  
  Shorts and a school t shirt might be the best option too.
  
  We will also limit the time they are outside in the middle of the day if we are worried.
  
  Don’t forget there are no more after school clubs for the last few weeks.
  
  Many thanks,
  
  Mrs Beard-Robbins

• Moving Up Day Today !!

  Thu 26 Jun 2025

  Morning all,
  
  It’s move up day! Y6 are nearly all heading straight to Newbridge today. We hope they have the best day!
  
  The rest of the children will be going to their new classes once we’ve done registers and dinner numbers.
  
  In September we only have 6 classes ( not including nursery or our bases).
  
  There’s been a drop in pupil numbers due to a falling birth rate in all our local schools,
  
  That means this year we can’t consider any moves or changes because there’s less classes and all of our classes, particularly in the Juniors are full.
  
  We know the children will have a great day.
  
  Many thanks,
  
  Mrs Beard-Robbins

• Move Up Day Tomorrow - Introducing Mr Rajalingam

  Wed 25 Jun 2025

  Mr Rajalingam will also be joining us full time in September. He will also be here tomorrow to meet his new class. Mr Raj will be teaching all of Y3 and some of Y4.
  
  Helô pawb!
  
  I am Mr. Rajalingam and am delighted to be your child’s teacher here at Cwmcarn Primary. I have been a teacher for about 30 years, and in that time have taught in both primary and secondary schools, and worked in other curriculum roles. My family has recently returned from Ontario in Canada and, after 20+ years there, I am learning Welsh and re-learning British English – your children might hear me call break time recess, or the toilet the washroom!
  
  I am a dedicated teacher and love learning. I’m looking forward to working with you and your children as they continue to try new things and grow in their love of learning too.
  
  When I’m not teaching, I love to read (science, and science fiction) and to be outside. You might find me cheering at the rugby, walking in the mountains or even skiing down them if its snowy enough.
  
  Looking forward to meeting you all.
  Hwyl fawr,
  Mr Rajalingam

  

• Move Up Day Tomorrow - Introducing Miss Tiley

  Wed 25 Jun 2025

  It's move up day tomorrow. We welcome Miss Tiley to the team in September who will be teaching all of Y2 and some of Y1. Miss Tiley will be here tomorrow to meet her new class.
  
  Hello everyone,
  
  I’m Miss Tiley, and I am really excited to be part of the team at Cwmcarn Primary School. I am a passionate and enthusiastic teacher who loves inspiring children to always be the best that they can be. As a teacher I would describe myself as patient, caring, and dedicated to helping every child grow and succeed. I am looking forward to bringing everything I’ve learnt to my new class and making this coming year full of wonderful memories!
  
  Outside of school, I love spending time with my family and friends, I dance and compete in competitions, enjoy getting lost in a good book, and going on holiday to relax and discover new places.
  
  I am really excited to meet my new class, get to know you all, and work alongside such a fantastic team. Have a great summer!

• Rainbow Day - Friday 27th June

  Tue 24 Jun 2025

  Afternoon all,
  
  It’s Rainbow Day in school on Friday. We will be celebrating diversity and equality.
  
  We asked the children how they would like to celebrate and they have chosen to wear their own clothes to school, wearing as many bright colourful things as they can.
  
  There’s no need to buy anything special or send in any money. We will just be showing our support for all kinds of people and highlight the importance of acceptance and kindness in our community.
  
  Many thanks,
  
  Mrs Beard-Robbins
