Dear Parents, 07.12.12
As we gear up for the festive period I wanted to keep you updated on school events.
Santa Appeal
Thank you all very, very much for your generosity for this appeal. These presents will make a huge difference to children in our area at Christmas. The appeal co-ordinators also send their grateful thanks - they couldn’t believe how many there were. We are very pleased and proud of the support of you all for the money, time and effort given to different charities in our school.
After School clubs
There will be no after school clubs over the next two weeks due to the Christmas shows. After school clubs will resume the second week back after Christmas.
Concerts
If a parent or grandparent is coming to watch one our Christmas performances, they will be able to take their child/grandchild home after the concerts have finished. Staff will not allow another parent to take a child unless they have been informed beforehand by a parent.
Parents will be able to record the performances unless we are notified beforehand that a parent has an objection. (We have no objections at present).
Christmas Parties
Next Friday, 14th of December we will be holding our class Christmas parties. Children are welcome to wear their party clothes into school for the day. We will provide squash for all the children. Please could all pupils bring in a covered plate of party food with their name clearly marked. We will be holding our parties in the afternoon.
Swimming
Year 4 have one more week left of swimming - next Wednesday, 12th December. Year 3 have now finished their swimming sessions as the Christmas performances will clash next week.

Upcoming dates
At this time of year we are always invited to perform somewhere in our community. These opportunities provide an excellent experience for our pupils. Tomorrow morning, 11 am to 12.30pm, some of our pupils are performing in St David’s Hall in Cardiff with the BBC Choir and Orchestra. This concert is being broadcast on the big screen outside, so anyone Christmas shopping may want to come and listen!
On Sunday 9th December we have been invited to two events, St Paul’s Church at 10 am and the Llantrisant Christmas Tree Festival at 1.45 pm. Please come along if you wish to support our pupils.
Last day of term is 21st December and this is a non-uniform and toy day. Pupils are responsible for any toys they choose to bring in. (We would advise that phones and ipads etc be kept at home for safety).
February 8th 2013 is an INET day.
May I take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
