Afternoon all,

We are having a great end to term!

Yesterday we found out that we have passed the Young Carers in Schools Programme!

Today we have been awarded our second Green flag for our Eco work!

What fabulous pupils, staff and parents/carers we have.

Well done everyone!

Mrs Beard-Robbins

Morning all,

It’s a very exciting day as Y5/6 bring us their first performance of ‘ Oliver with a Twist’ !

Performances today at 1.30 then another two shows tomorrow!

Please make sure you have pre-booked tickets as we can’t go over maximum numbers in the hall and it’s going to be hot!

Break a leg guys!

Mrs Beard-Robbins

Year 5/6 end of year show reminder
Hopefully by now most parents have ordered their tickets for the show/s they wish to attend. Please be mindful that we cannot guarantee the ability to sell tickets on the door as there are limits as to how many people can be accommodated due to fire regulations. To avoid disappointment, we strongly recommend ordering tickets in advance from Mrs Hackling.
There are 3 shows to choose from:

Tuesday 8th July - 1.30pm
Wednesday 9th July - 1.30pm
Wednesday 9 July - 5pm

Many thanks in advance

Mr R
 

Good morning!

Another really busy week ahead as the end of term approaches.

I hope our youngest pupils have a wonderful trip to Cefn Mably today and also 5b have a great time at Mountain Ranch!

Y6 are also off to Newbridge this morning to watch their show.

Finally Y5/6 will do their final dress rehearsal for their production this afternoon and Y3/4 will be their audience!

Busy day….

Mrs Beard-Robbins

Morning all,

Lovely news ☺️☺️

We had the NSPCC in school yesterday. They did workshops with Y2, Y5 and Y6..

Following the day the 2 ladies came to see me absolutely over the moon. They said it was the best school they had ever been to.

This was for two reasons - firstly the children’s behaviour in the assembly they took was immaculate. Secondly, they were blown away by just how much our children already knew about child safely issues. I know we work so hard in school with the children on how to keep safe, where to go for help, what’s ok and what’s not etc

But to hear this from people that visit hundreds of schools made our day. They are now using our school as a good practise guide for other schools.

What a lovely outcome!

Mrs Beard-Robbins

Morning all,

A parent has been in to see me this morning whose child has come out in a really nasty rash. The parent was happy for me to share this with you as it’s been diagnosed as ‘ Swimmers Itch’ and as a result of jumping into/playing in the pond at the Scenic Drive.

The mix of the very warm weather and still water is a breeding ground for these types of things. If you have older children who spend time there without supervision it might be worth having a chat about this.

Many thanks,

Mrs Beard-Robbins

Morning all,

Sports’s Day for Y3-6 will be going ahead tomorrow.

9.45 for Y5/Y6 also 5b

1.30 for Y3/4 and Class 5

Please make sure the children have cool clothes, big drinks, lots of sun tan lotion and a cap, hat or head covering.

As always, we ask parents/carers to stay the other side of the track and not to stand near the finish line.

We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

Mrs Beard-Robbins

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

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

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
