Rugby After-School Club

Dear Rugby Player

Unfortunately I am not going to be able to make tomorrow's rugby session. I have to go to my children's school to meet their teachers and discuss how well they have done this year.

However, we have a lot of rugby this week to make up for it and we have two remaining sessions before the end of our training season:

Next week: 17th May
The week after: 24th May

See you all a week tomorrow!

Easter At Pontyclun Primary School

Easter at Pontyclun means our annual Easter Bonnet Parade and Egg Rolling competitions. This year we saw some fantastic bonnets and some " eggstraordinarily " long egg rolls. Well done to all the pupils and parents who worked hard on the bonnets and eggs.

Miss Harwood would like to thank all those parents who contributed tins of tomatoes!! Easter Bonnet Parade Just to remind parents that this Friday is our Easter Bonnet Parade. Prizes will be awarded to individual classes. Egg Rolling Egg Rolling will also take place this Friday for all classes (Infant and Junior). If you wish your child to take part, please can children bring in a hard boiled egg, which can be decorated. Again, prizes will be awarded to individual classes. Uniform is to be worn as normal. Packed Lunches The amount of food waste from packed lunches has increased immeasurably this term with some children disposing of sandwiches and fruit and only eating crisps and chocolate. Please could parents discuss with their children the need to eat a healthy balanced lunch to ensure they have the nutrients needed to help them concentrate through the afternoon. Dinner Money Please ensure that all outstanding monies are settled by Friday as all arrears have to be reported to the LEA. Also, would Nursery parents please ensure that their child’s name is clearly marked on the back of the cheque to avoid confusion. Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

Headlice

14 April 2011 Dear Parents We have had a number of cases brought to our attention regarding headlice. It appears that despite some parents treating their children appropriately, re-infestation is still occurring. Please do check your child’s hair for headlice and treat accordingly. Hopefully, the Easter break will allow for the situation to be resolved. Thank you for your co-operation in this matter. Yours sincerely H Roberts Headteacher
