• Diwrnod Shwmae - Wear red, green or white to school on Friday 15th October

  Tue 12 Oct 2021

  Afternoon all,
  
  It’s Diwrnod Shwmae on Friday so we are having a special day in school!
  
  The children don’t have to wear uniform but can wear their own clothes as long as they’ve got something on that’s either red, green or white.
  
  No need to worry or buy anything new. I’m sure you’ll all have something with one of those colours at home even if it’s only a pair of socks or a hair bobble! I’m pretty sure I’ve got a red t shirt in my wardrobe somewhere!
  
  There’s no donation, this is just for fun whilst we practise our Welsh even more than usual and do some Welsh art.
  
  Thanks so much,
  
  Mrs Robbins

• Message From the Local Authority re Wider List of Covid Symptoms for Testing

  Fri 01 Oct 2021

  Good afternoon all,
  
  I have just had the following message from the local authority.
  
  I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
  
  Mrs Robbins
  
  
  MESSAGE FROM THE LOCAL AUTHORITY
  
  Did you know the symptoms of Covid-19 have widened?
  
  They now include a cough, high temperature, loss or change to smell or taste, fatigue, muscle and body aches, headache, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting and diarrhoea.
  
  It's important to rule out Covid-19 by booking in for a quick and free PCR test at one of our many mobile testing units.
  
  Relying on a lateral flow test when you have any of these symptoms could lead to a false result. To book a test, please call 119 or book a test via https://gov.wales/test-trace-protect-coronavirus
