16.12.11

Dear Parents,

Christmas Parties
Christmas parties will take place on Monday afternoon. Please be aware that unfortunately, any food brought in has to be bought, and not made at home. Drinks will be provided for by the school. It is also a non-uniform day.

Toy Day
Toy Day is on Tuesday and is also a non-uniform day. Please remember that any toy brought in is the pupil’s responsibility. School will close at normal time.

Staffing
Sadly, we have to say goodbye to Mrs Marlow, who is moving schools to become a Deputy Head. We wish her all the best! A warm welcome to Mr Bevan, who will be replacing Mrs Marlow. Mr Llewellyn will become Acting Deputy Head, and will be teaching part time with Mr Burgess, in order to fulfil his Deputy duties. Mrs Gardiner will be teaching full time in January.

School Meals
With the end of term quickly approaching, please could I remind parents that all meals are to be paid for in advance on Monday morning. It is school procedure to report any arrears at the end of the half term to our auditing team at the Education Office.

Christmas Concerts
A big thank you for all your support during the Christmas concerts. The children looked and sounded fantastic! We are very, very proud of them all again this year.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Yours sincerely
Miss Harwood
Deputy Headteacher

Christmas at Pontyclun Primary

Click on the link below to view this year's amazing Infant performance. The children performed brilliantly for an hour and a half. Well done to you all, it was a fantastic show. (Be sure to choose the full screen option when fully loaded).

Last Saturday was a lovely day for celebrating Christmas at Pontyclun Primary. The morning started with "Breakfast with Santa" in the main hall. The PTA did a fantastic job of organising the annual event, and over 150 children had a delicious breakfast before meeting the special man himself. Thank you PTA. 

During the morning Mrs. Able and Mrs. Brown took the school county dancers to Peterson Super Ely's Christmas Fayre. The children performed as number of dances for the crowd who all thoroughly enjoyed the show. 

Later in the afternoon Mrs. C. Davies took our Show Stoppers to perform at the Llantrisant Parish Church's Christmas Tree Festival. Three of our very talented musicians from year 6 played the violin and cornet before the children sang songs beautifully to the large crowd that had gathered. 

All of these events have really put everyone into the Christmas mood. A huge thank you to the PTA, the staff  and particularly to the pupils and parents. Diolch yn fawr.  

 

Our Eco Tee at Llantrisant Parish Church Tree Festival 2011

OUR ECO CHRISTMAS TREE 

Pontyclun Primary school is an eco school. We achieved the status four years ago, because of the lengths that the school goes to reduce, reuse and recycle. This year, we decided to decorate our Christmas tree for the Llantrisant Parish Church Tree Festival  with recycled materials. All of our pupils thought about suitable materials to use, designed the decorations and created them in Design and Technology lessons. We had so many excellent decorations that we made a second Eco Tree in the school foyer. This Saturday, pupils from our school will be singing a collection of hymns and performing music at the festival at 14.45. Our pupils will also be Country Dancing at a Christmas Fayre in Peterson Super Ely this weekend. Good luck to all of the children at both events.
