Quick update 23.10.23
Mon 23 Oct 2023Dear parent / carer,
Just a few quick reminders:
- Flu jabs Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th November. Message from Health:
If you have not yet filled in your child’s flu e-consent form, there is still time. The consent form can be completed here: https://forms.office.com/e/eyggpck0Kf
Whether you intend to select YES or NO, we encourage all parents to complete an e-consent form and have their say on their child's flu immunisation. For negative consents there is an option to make comments which will support us in understanding your reasons or barriers.
The school nursing service has produced a short parent information video which can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/UBGiYl6LBAs - Easy read information on Flu Vaccine Nose Spray and Gelatine can be viewed here
- Individual photos - Thursday 16th and Friday 17th November.
- Food contributions for Woodland Road Food Share (Bank) – tomorrow please if you would like to support the local food bank.
All the best,
SB

Update 16.10.2023
Mon 16 Oct 2023Dear parent / carer,
Please note the following:
- Parent consultations are this week and next. For the Nursery, please enter via the Nursery door. For all other infant classes (R, 1 and 2) please enter via the infant gate (far left gate) and either straight into the Year 1 demountable or through the yard door into the infant corridor. For all junior classes (3, 4, 5 and 6) please enter through the junior gate (far right gate) and up the path and into the building. Year 4 and 6 are on the right (looking up the slope) and Year 3 and 5 are on the left.
- Next Wed 25th October Year 3 are leading a Harvest Assembly – Year 3 parents / carers are welcome to attend. As part of this we have, once again, decided to support the local Food Share (Bank) on Woodland Road. If you would like to support this very worthy local charity, please send your child in next Tuesday (24th October) with an appropriate foodstuff – something dry or tinned etc.
- As a school, we are once again delighted to support the Royal British Legion with their Poppy Appeal and, with your help, raise money for a very worthwhile cause. If you would like to support this year’s Poppy Appeal, please send cash in with your child and they will be able to make their donation and pick an item which will be available to buy from tomorrow (poppies, zip pull, wristband, poppy reflector and the very popular slap-band!). All donations gratefully received with a suggested minimum donation of £1 for a Poppy and slap-band and 50p for all other items.
- See below for details of half term child care / activities being run by Torfaen Play. Please note this provision is for those aged 8-12 years only. Application form link below.
