Forest School gives children the unique opportunity of experiencing first hand, play and learning in a controlled outdoor environment. Forest School is the name for an approach to educating children in the outdoors on a regular basis. This work will support the main curriculum (particularly literacy, science, numeracy and the arts) and will have a strong emphasis on raising all children’s self- esteem and independence. An integral part of the Forest School experience is that children will experience the outdoors in all weathers. With the exception of very high winds and thunder storms, please assume that your child will be outside when they take part in Forest Schools. To help achieve this, we will provide all children taking part in Forest School with a waterproof coat and waterproof trousers. Please provide your child with the kit list below. Your child will need to bring this kit in every Friday for their Forest School session. No kit including wellies can be left in school.

Year 4 Swimming Lessons |
| 07 Feb 2024 |
Your child will take part in swimming lessons at Caldicot Leisure Centre. The following information has been put together to ensure your child has the best possible experience learning to swim.
Children are not able to wear jewellery in the swimming pool, for their safety, and will be unable to swim if they have jewellery. If your child has athlete’s foot or a verruca these will need to be treated, but this will not prevent them from swimming. Verruca’s will need to be covered with a waterproof dressing and a swim sock. Swimming lessons will start for Year 4 – Mrs Sisson on Thursday 22nd February 2024 and will run every week until Thursday 9th May 2024 at 9:15 am – 10:15 am. This letter is for your information only. |

Gilwern Kit List |
| 04 Feb 2024 |
Please find attached a copy of the recommended kit for Gilwern. Remember old clothes are best as they are likely to get the wet and dirty during the day's activities. Warm hats and scarves we are hoping won't be needed in July! But plenty of sun cream and layers will come in handy. https://schoop.co.uk/UploadFiles/9713/kit-list.pdf |
Fire Day TOMORROW |
| 01 Feb 2024 |
FIRE DAY - This Friday is our Fire Day where we spend the day at the forest. There will be an option of a bacon sandwich or toast mid morning, hot dogs for lunch and s'mores and hot chocolate in the afternoon. There are 3 options for your child that day for lunchtime. They can still have their usual dinner, booked through school and then the hot dog will be additional if your child wants one. Or your child has their usual lunchbox from home and then the hot dog will be additional if your child wants one. Or you cancel your school dinner and just enjoy the food provided at the forest. Please ensure your child has a water bottle in school too. As we will be in the forest tomorrow for the whole day, please ensure your child has the correct amount of layers for the day. (3 layers on top, 2 layers on the bottom, warm coat, warm socks, wellies and a hat and gloves.) Any pupil without this will not be allowed to the forest and will stay in school. Thank you Mrs Johns and Miss Ley |

Forest School Fire Day |
| 30 Nov 2023 |
Tomorrow is our fire day where your child will be outside all day. The weather is forecast to be cold for the duration of the day. Your child will need to be properly attired to attend the final session tomorrow. 
Please ensure your child wears to school: - 2 pair of trousers (leggings and jogging bottoms are perfect.) - 3 layers on top (t-shirt, long sleeved top AND jumper or fleece.) - 1 warm coat - hat - gloves - thick socks and wellies We will NOT be taking any child to the forest if they do not have the correct number of layers on. The reason is that children can get hypothermia quickly in cold conditions if not dressed adequately. Hypothermia in Children – "small children are at risk of hypothermia because they are unable to protect themselves in varied environmental conditions. They also have a faster rate of heat loss than adults, generally speaking. Due to their large head relative to their body, covering their heads will prevent significant heat loss." We will be providing a bacon sandwich or toast, hot dog (or jacket potato for vegetarians), s'mores and hot chocolate throughout the day. If your child usually has a school dinner or lunchbox and you would still like them to have that, then the forest school food is an added bonus. If you would like your child to just have the forest school food, please ensure you cancel their dinner order. Please ensure your child has a water bottle with them too. If you have any questions or need help sourcing the correct clothes, please email us. Kind regards Mrs Johns johnsl19@hwbcymru.net |

Christmas Play - Costumes |
| 27 Nov 2023 |
All of the children should now know what part they have in the Xmas play. If any child is unsure please see your child's class teacher who can let you know what part they have. Ideas for most costumes can be found by 'googling' the part on the internet. Please do not feel that you have to buy a costume, homemade costumes are great too. Narrators need to wear black/dark grey trousers/skirts and either a dark top (no logos or images) with an Christmas accessory such as a piece of tinsel or a Xmas jumper. All costumes need to brought into school in a carrier bag clearly labelled with your child's name. We would also ask that all items of clothing are also clearly marked with your child's name too. We have our dress rehearsal in week beginning 4th December so it would be great if all costumes could be in on Monday 4th December. If there are any issues please let us know. Many thanks Mrs Sisson and Mrs Perry |

T-shirt design for 50th Music Festival Celebration |
| 13 Jun 2023 |
As you are aware we will be holding an Outdoor Music Festival to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. As part of the celerbration the children will be designing their own t-shirt during their Art lesson, this will be worn for the Music Festival. Could you please send into school (asap) a plain white t-shirt lablled with your childs name. If your child does not have a plain white t-shirt they are available to buy in Asda as a pack of 2 for £2, you may want to buddy up with someone to keep cost down. The children have worked extremely hard with their art projects this year and I’m sure this will be another success. Thank you Miss Ley |

Swimming Lessons |
| 26 May 2023 |
Welcome to School Swimming Your child has the opportunity to take part in swimming lessons which are part of the National Curriculum at Caldicot Leisure Centre. Monlife has put together the following information to ensure your child has the best possible experience learning to swim with us.

Children are not able to wear jewellery in the swimming pool, for their safety, and will be unable to swim if they have jewellery.

Verruca’s will need to be covered with a waterproof dressing and a swim sock. Swimming lessons will start for Year 3 – Mr Moses on Thursday 8th June 2023 and will run until Thursday 20th July 2023 at 9:15 am – 10:15 am. 6 Sessions.

The Monmouthshire Community and Sports Development team have registered the local schools for the Junior Parkrun that takes place in Rogiet every Sunday morning. Each school is registered with their own club name. Our school club name is 'DRAGONS'. It is important for each pupil to register their school club name so that the Community and Sports development officers can identify how many represent each school. This will be used to select a winning school and numbers will be checked from Sunday 7th May until 9th July. Good luck everyone! Parkrun Parkrun is all about inclusiveness and wellbeing.
