Dear Parents and Carers / Annwyl Rieni a Gwarchodwyr,

It’s been a wonderfully busy time here at school, with so much happening across all year groups. From exciting trips and creative classroom projects to sports events and special assemblies, the summer term is in full swing! As always, we’re incredibly proud of how hard our pupils are working and the enthusiasm they bring to every activity. This edition is packed with highlights, important updates, and a look ahead at what’s still to come. Thank you for your continued support — we hope you enjoy reading about everything that’s been going on!

Lunchtime Supervisor
We are looking to appoint a supply lunchtime supervisor for 5 hrs. per week. Please contact me for an informal chat if you are interested in the post.

Supervision of Pupils at School Pick-Up
Please could we kindly ask that all children are supervised closely after school pick-up. We’ve had some damage to planted areas on the school grounds, and unfortunately, a few pupils have also been injured while playing unsupervised. Your support in helping us keep the school environment safe and pleasant for everyone is greatly appreciated.

Sports Day Arrangements
We’re looking forward to welcoming you to our upcoming Sports Day! Here are the key details:
• Infants: 9:30 AM
• Juniors: 1:30 PM
• Date: 1st July
To help the day run smoothly and safely, please note the following:
• Children should come to school wearing sun cream, a hat, and bring a named water bottle.
• Pupils should wear their team colours for the event.
• Junior pupils may be collected early following the end of their Sports Day activities.
• Parents, carers, family, and friends are warmly invited to attend — we recommend bringing chairs or picnic blankets for comfort while spectating.
• For safety reasons, we kindly ask all spectators to remain in the designated viewing area and not to cross the running track or encourage children to do so.
Thank you for your support — we’re looking forward to a fantastic day of fun and teamwork!

Own Clothes Day
A big thank you to all our parents, carers, and pupils for supporting our Own Clothes Day in aid of the Ruthin Festival. Your generous donations and enthusiasm helped make it a great success — we really appreciate your continued support!

Reception and Yr. 1 Trip to Xplore Science
Reception and Year 1 had a fantastic time on their recent trip to Xplore! Science Discovery Centre in Wrexham. The children were full of excitement as they explored hands-on exhibits, experimented with fun activities, and learned all about the wonders of science in a playful and engaging environment. It was a brilliant day of discovery, curiosity, and smiles all around! Photos form the trip will be on X and Flickr soon.

Bicycle Safety
We kindly ask that all pupils, parents, and carers dismount and push their bicycles while on the designated areas of the school site. For everyone’s safety, please ensure that children do not ride bikes around the upper levels of the school or down the disability access ramp. Thank you for helping us keep our school environment safe and respectful for all.

Nursery Class Police Visit
On Monday, our Nursery class had a very exciting visit from two local police officers — and even got to explore a real police car! The children loved trying on hats, listening to the siren, and learning all about how the police help keep us safe. A big thank you to our special visitors for making it such a memorable experience.

Weekly Wellbeing
Confucius (551–479 BCE) was a Chinese philosopher, teacher, and political thinker whose ideas have deeply influenced East Asian culture and philosophy for over two millennia. Born in the state of Lu (modern-day Shandong province), Confucius lived during a time of social and political unrest. He believed that a harmonious society could be achieved through moral integrity, respect for tradition, and proper conduct in personal and public life.

“Respect yourself and others will respect you.”
— Confucius
