Morning all,

Don’t forget it’s ’ National Fitness Day’ on Wednesday so the children can wear any kind of sporty, active clothes they like.

We’ll be talking about food and fitness and doing lots of activity.

Thank you,

Mrs Beard-Robbins

Good afternoon everyone!

Digital gaming has become increasingly popular among children and so we would like to send out a reminder of the importance for both parents and children in understanding appropriate online behaviour.

It is important that children are accessing content that is age-appropriate to them and this includes many of the online gaming platforms that they are using. I have attached some guides of the games that are becoming increasingly popular – please note the age restrictions for these as some of them are much higher than primary-aged children, including 18+.

We ask that you also support the work that we are doing with the children around online-safety by continuing to be vigilant by monitoring your children’s behaviour and conduct when online – particularly swearing, and using inappropriate or unkind language.

You can find more information about online safety here: https://hwb.gov.wales/keeping-safe-online/in-the-know/

If you would like any further information about online safety or age restrictions, please feel free to contact us. By fostering an open dialogue and encouraging responsible gaming practices, we can help cultivate a positive online environment for your children!

Many thanks
Miss Mansell

Morning all ☺️

I am updating my list of service children.

Please can you drop me a message if a parent/carer/older siblingis currently working in the forces or has retired from the forces.

If you are unsure a service child is a child of serving and veteran families. This means serving in the armed forces or as a reservist or has retired during that child’s life from those roles.

Many thanks,

Mrs Beard-Robbins

Morning all,

Just a little reminder that the gates have to be locked at 9am.

The teachers start teaching as soon as the children come in and so they cannot leave their classrooms and leave groups of children unattended to open the gate.

We do understand that sometimes things happen that make you a little bit late but if your gate is locked please come down to main reception and we will then take the children to their class and sign them in on the register.

Thank you for your understanding.

Mrs Beard-Robbins

Dear Parent/Carer,

Parentkind – a charity that supports school PTAs - have teamed up with Asda, who is making millions of pounds available to donate to primary schools across the UK through their ‘Cashpot for Schools’ initiative. To support our school, all you have to do is opt-in through the Asda Rewards app, shop and scan in store or shop online at Asda.com.

Between 2nd September and 30th November 2024 – every time you shop with Asda using your Asda Rewards app, Asda will donate 0.5% of the value of your shop to your chosen Primary school. Also, every time somebody opts-in to support our Primary school, Asda will give an additional £1 to the school Cashpot. Plus, it doesn’t stop there – Asda are also giving £50 to every school to get them started.

The supermarket has joined forces with Joe Wicks to support the initiative – look out for the TV advert, radio ads and social media coverage!

It’s as easy as 1,2,3
1. Download the Asda Rewards app, register and opt-in to Cashpot for Schools (make sure you have the latest version of the app installed)
2. Choose our Primary School – either searching by name or postcode
3. Shop instore across Asda and George, or online at Asda.com and start filling your Cashpot as you shop

Asda does the rest, all money raised will be donated to schools to spend on the things they need the most. We are aiming to spend our donations on additional games equipment for the yards at play and lunchtimes.

Remember, anyone can sign up – so start spreading the news and raising funds for our school.

This initiative is on top of the existing Asda Rewards benefits you get as a shopper – so you won’t lose out on any of your own earnings or Cashpot, so everyone is a winner!

For more details, visit asda.com/cashpotforschools

Good morning.

Are there any volunteers to help weed our school garden please? It has turned into a jungle over the Summer and needs a good clear up before ECO Club start improving the pond space and reading teepee.

If you’re able to help then please send me a dojo message.

Thank you

Afternoon all,

We have received notice today of our ESTYN inspection. Our inspection will start two weeks from today and take place from Monday 23rd-Wednesday 25th September.

I have added a letter ESTYN sent to tell you about the inspection.

Later on this evening or tomorrow I will post a link to the Parent/Carers survey. We would really appreciate it if you could take the time to fill it in.

If anyone wants to fill it in but needs help please come into school and we can support you.

Once you start the survey please try not to click the back button, if you do it will not work.

Also there will be a meeting for you on the first day of the inspection with the inspectors at approximately 3.30pm. They will ask your views on what the school does well and how it could improve. I will give you more details nearer the time.

During the meeting staff will be able to look after school age children if you have no child care.

Thank you,

Mrs Beard-Robbins
