Dear Parents and Carers / Annwyl Rieni a Gwarchodwyr,

Online Platforms – This week, we’ve ensured all pupils are up and running on online platforms once again. This means they can access Hwb, Google Classroom, RM Easimaths, Wordshark, TT Rockstars and Purple Mash both in school and at home. Please support your child in the Juniors by encouraging them to access particularly RM Easimaths and Wordshark. These short sessions will help reinforce their school work and will help to support ongoing post-lockdown progress. Many thanks.

PTA Meeting – The PTA AGM will be held in school at 3.30pm on Thursday next week. We would be grateful if you could confirm that you are going to attend by email to rhosstreetpta@gmail.com. This is to ensure we can conduct the meeting safely.

School Jumpers – We’ve had a few hunts for school jumpers already this term. It seems pupils are taking them home without checking names inside before doing so. Could you please check the jumpers you have at home and if you spot Harri Lewis’ name or indeed any other child’s name other than your own, please return them to school. I’ve asked the pupils to check names before putting them back on. Also please ensure all jumpers have a name in them. Many thanks.

Denbighshire Football Squad – Congratulations to Isaac and Fletcher for being selected to represent Denbighshire Football team after a successful recent trial. A real accolade!
