Dear Parents and Carers / Annwyl Rieni a Gwarchodwyr,
As we cross the half-term finish line its great to be able to reflect on what has been a productive and positive time in school. We are inching our way out of winter and, hopefully, moving towards the longer days, and lighter mornings and evenings. As usual it has been a week stuffed to the gunwales; with parental consultations, a rugby tournament, transition event, and a family service to keep us busy. I hope you all have a great half-term break, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back to school, via our new drop-off and pick-up protocols, on Monday the 3rd of March.
Yr. 3 Family Service
Huge congratulations to the brilliant Yr. 3 class for their family service yesterday. The service was the culmination of a much-loved theme on orangutans which was textbook new curriculum, giving the pupils the opportunity to develop a broad range of knowledge, skills and understanding as well as the opportunity to make a positive difference in the real world. We are so proud of them all. Thank you to Miss. Davies and her fabulous team for preparing the children so well for their wonderful performance and to parents, carers family, and friends for coming along to support us here at school.
Yrs. 3/4 Tag-Rugby Tournament
Tuesday saw our brilliant tag-rugby team head off as far as sunny Rhyl to take part in the Urdd Tag-Rugby Tournament. The children had an absolutely amazing time and did themselves, and Rhos St proud. Huge thanks to Miss. Davies and Julie Debicka for accompanying the children, and to rugby-development officer Katie for preparing them for the day.
Yr. 5 Transition Event
The Yr. 5 Class were welcomed to Ysgol Brynhyfryd yesterday to take part in an art and technology transition event. They had a great time working on art, sewing, woodwork, and computer activities and, unsurprisingly, did themselves proud. There will be many more opportunities for transition coming in the future. Thank you to Ysgol Brynhyfryd for being such wonderful hosts and making the afternoon so enjoyable.
World Book Day
Rhos St will be recognising World book Day on Thursday 6th of March. Children are invited to come to school as their favourite character and there will be lots of fun and engaging book-related activities going on throughout the day.

Head Lice
I have been informed of an incidence of head lice within the school. I would request that you check your child’s hair and treat if appropriate. For more information about head lice, how to check for head lice please visit this website. https://111.wales.nhs.uk/encyclopaedia/h/article/headliceandnits/#:~:text=Headlice%20is%20one%20of%20the,more%20information%20on%20the%20service.&text=Lice%20and%20nits%20can%20be%20removed%20by%20wet%20combing.

Weekly Wellbeing
As we step into the half-term break this unattributed quote reminds us all of finding some time to recreate.
Recreation’s purpose is not to kill time, but to make life, not to keep a person occupied, but to keep them refreshed; not to offer an escape from life, but to provide a discovery of life.
