Message for Year 6 Parents

19 Jul 2023

Dear Parents,
As part of our end of  term celebrations the children have opted for a fun water fight tomorrow in school, involving staff also. This is not compulsory. Please could you ensure your child brings a full change of clothing and a towel, as well as a water pistol.
Please make sure your child brings to school tomorrow any props related to our end of term sketch. This only applies to some children.
We will also be delivering our end of term service in Llangors Church at 2.30 pm on Friday. All welcome. 
 Finally,  if your child has an old white or light coloured t- shirt please send it to school on Friday. It is an old tradition in this school to collect signatures and goodwill messages from other pupils and staff on the last day.
All best wishes,
Mark Williams

Pirates of Penzance 15/07/2023

05 Jul 2023

Raising funds for our local churches around the lake through donations – admission is free.
  • If Y6 children would like to be involved they will need to come to the practice from 2.00 pm for about an hour, and would need a parent with them. The informal performance starts at 6.30pm and should be over by 8.30 pm. It is light hearted, fun and has great music!
  • There is a prize for the most ‘Pirate-like’ Pirate for age 11 years and under – whether children are involved or not it would be great to see them in Pirate costumes!

 Many thanks.

Help requested and a reminder

03 Jul 2023

Dear Parent,
Just a quick reminder that your child will require a packed lunch for their trip to the Leaver's Service in Brecon Cathedral tomorrow. If possible can they wear their Leavers Hoodies. You too are welcome to attend the Leavers Service which starts at 1.00 pm.
Sycamore Class are to be responsible for teas / coffees and soft drinks at the school fete on Friday 14th July. We need volunteers to help us, so if you can spare some time between 3.00 pm and 5.30 pm, I'd be very grateful. More hands make light work !!
A final heads up that on Monday 10th July, Val, our school nurse will be in class talking to the class about Puberty and body changes. This chat, part of the curriculum, will be for all Year 6 children, and then she will have a separate lesson with the girls about periods.  I just wanted to forewarn you as no doubt the children may have questions and comments when they get home that day.
All best wishes,
Mark Williams.
If you can help re the fete, I'd be especially grateful.

Orienteering Challenge

11 Jun 2023

Orienteering activity at Gwernyfed High School
 
Dear parents,
Holly class will be taking part in an orienteering challenge at Gwernyfed High School on Tuesday 20th June. This will involve the children recapping on some orienteering skills before working in pairs to complete a course against the clock. The children will be travelling there and back by coach and will be back in school before the end of the school day.
The time for our orienteering challenge is between 11:30am and 1:00pm, meaning we will not be in school for lunch time. Because of this, please can the children bring a packed lunch including an extra snack that can be eaten when we arrive at Gwernyfed. Some fruit would be a good idea.
Please ensure pupils bring clothes suitable for being outdoors for 1hr 30mins (they won’t be moving for the entire time) including spare shoes to run on potentially muddy ground (if it has been raining recently) and a water bottle. Children can take their school water bottle.
The activity is free but there is a cost for the coach which is £4.30 each. To help keep the costs down, we are sharing a coach with another school.
Please can you pay this via parent pay.
 
Many thanks,
 
Mr Godfrey
