Dear parent / carer,

 

Please note the following:

 

• Children return after half term on the Monday, 3^rd Nov.
• 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 next half term, Mon 3^rd Nov (poppies, zip pull, wristband, poppy reflector and, the ever 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.
• Thanks for all the contributions to the food bank.  We will organise another collection pre-Christmas.
• Individual photo’s on the Thur / Fri first week back (6^th and 7^th Nov) – siblings in school will be photographed together but, if you want a shot with a sibling not in school, please contact Mrs Hughes (kirsty.hughes@torfaen.gov.uk) to arrange an appointment after school.

 

See you after half term!

 

All the best.

 

SB

Dear parent / carer,

 

Please note the following:

 

• It’s  ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ day tomorrow, Friday 17^th Oct.  Dress in red to support this!!
• Next Tuesday, 21^st October, we will be once again collecting for the local food bank, Croesy Foodshare Hwb (Woodland Road) as part of our Harvest celebrations (Year 3 parents / carers invited to the school next Wed 22^nd for a 10:00a.m start).  I think that we are one of their best suppliers so, if you can afford it yourself, they are looking for the usual – dry foods, cereals, tins etc. Thanks in advance.
• Individual photographs Thur 6^th and Fri 7^th Nov – if you would like a family shot with siblings not in the school, please contact Mrs Hughes (kirsty.hughes@torfaen.gov.uk) in the office with an indication as to whether you want to come in before or after school on the Thur or the Fri.
