Dear Parents & Carers / Annwyl Rieni a Gwarchodwyr,
Christmas songs are being heard this week – for the rock choir and for the forthcoming Infant and Junior concerts. Well, it is Novemebr after all… Next week will see the Xmas season officially begin with our PTA Fair and the Rock Choir singing on Saturday. The rollercoaster can officially set off! See Twitter for additional photos from the following recent activities: Don’t Touch Tell presentations, Year 2 Traffic Survey, Year 2 Walk Wise, Year 4 rugby, Year 5 CSI transition afternoon and our Governors’ Visit.
Yours sincerely / Yn gywir,
Bryn D. Jones, Headteacher / Pennaeth

A big welcome to them both!
Super Hero Day – This was held today, as part of a fundraising event in memory of Mark from the Bartley family on Saturday 30th November in the Rugby club to raise money towards stem cell treatment for a little boy who had a non-fatal drowning accident in April 2017. Lots of great costumes on show!

Dance for Jill – Some of the girls in Year 6 wanted to design, practice and perform a special dance in memory of Jill. They shared it with the school on Monday and a clip of the dance can be seen on Twitter. Not only is of a very high standard, but it is also a lovely gesture, that they should all be proud of.
