Dear parent / carer,

 

Please note the following:

 

• The crossing patrol (lollipop man / lady!) job has been re-advertised by Torfaen.  Free lollipop and high-vis jacket as part of the deal!!  Interested in helping out and making some money? Follow the link! (scroll down the left) Closing date 13^th Dec.

• Not only do we not have a crossing patrol, but, unfortunately, we continue to have our children (and their parents / carers) put at greater risk through some pretty dangerous and ignorant parking / driving.  A mother contacted me yesterday to tell me that her child had almost been run over on the pavement.   Please don’t park on the pavement, respect the yellow zig-zags and, more importantly, please respect the other parents and children trying to get to school safely.
• I have had several parents asking me whether the school has a PTA.  We do, but it is exclusively manned by the teachers and support staff as the parents have long since gone!  Given the approaches, this seems a good moment to ask for offers of help and start things rolling again in terms of parental support.  Let me know if you are interested and we’ll set something up in the New Year to share ideas and sort some events out.
• Quick reminder about the pantomime - £15.00 per child asap or let us know if your child isn’t going.

 

All the best,

 

Simon Bates

Dear parent / carer,

 

Please note the following:

 

• Next Friday, 15^th Nov is BBC’s Children in Need.  We are not collecting directly but you can, of course, donate online ( https://www.bbcchildreninneed.co.uk/ ) and pupils can come in whatever outfits they want!!  However, Year 2 are on a school trip to St Fagans so school uniform for them please (but they can come in next Thursday dressed up if they would like to).
• See below the message from the local ‘food share’ on Woodland Road.  We are going to support them again at Christmas and I would ask that, if you would like to contribute, you provide the usuals (dry / tinned food etc) on Christmas Jumper Day, Friday 13^th December (the actual day is  Thur 12^th but we’d rather keep to a Friday for extra bits of madness!). As with Children in Need, we are not collecting directly but you can contribute online if you choose to ( https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/christmas-jumper-day ).

 

All the best,

 

SB
