  Parent Voice

   

  On Tuesday 6th February at 2:30pm we will be having our Parent Voice meeting. In this meeting we will be discussing purchasing a school dog. We would like to share with our parents the research and the processes regarding this, and most importantly listen to your views and opinions on this matter. We would appreciate if all parents made every effort to attend. Thank you :-)

   

   

  - Thank you all who came to our Parent Voice meeting on Tuesday. We are so grateful for all your positivity and support regarding the matters discussed. We hope we have eased any concerns and answered any questions you had.

   

  Feedback from parent regarding the school dog: 'A lovely reassuring chat with Mrs Mathias and Mrs Coleman soon put my mind at rest. It's a fab idea and I wish it all the luck.'

   

   

  

• Nursery Parent Workshops

  Nursery Parent Workshops

   

  We are having a great few weeks continuing our second block of workshops for parents of our Nursery pupils. We are so pleased with the amount of interest we have received from our parents.

   

  The workshops allow parents to come into school to see first hand the teaching and learning within the classroom. Each week there is a different focus task that parents learn about. Parents then go into the classroom and do this 'focus' task with their child.

   

  Week 1: The formation of the letter 'a' and Jolly Phonics. Our parents and pupils put pen to paper, helping their child learn how to form the letter 'a'. Parents and pupils also used the Apple interactive whiteboard. (To learn more about Jolly Phonics go to www.jollylearning.co.uk you can also download the FREE app, 'Jolly Phonics'.

   

  Week 2: Our pupils listened to calm and stormy sea sounds and had to identify which sound was which. Our pupils used instruments to make their own stormy and calm sea sounds.

   

  Week 3:Ten Green Bottles! This week parents had to help their children count and take away. Pupils also had to try and recognize numbers 1-10!. Parents and pupils used the interactive white board to do this task, taping the board to subtract the bottles.

   

  

• Preswylfa Care Home visits

  Preswylfa Care Home

   

  Our friends from Preswylfa care home came and visited us in the café. Once a month we have visits from Julia and the residents from Preswylfa, who join us for a hot drink and a homemade cake. Our pupils take turns speaking to the residents, having a chat about the work they have been doing in school and showing the residents their books. The residents are all very kind and supportive of our pupils and always praise their beautiful work. It is a great opportunity for our pupils to engage with the elderly community.

   

  Here are some photographs from our most recent visit. Year 1E pupils came and chatted to their new friends, showing the residents their work and learning about what school was like when they were younger. It was a wonderful afternoon enjoyed by all. We look forward to seeing them again very soon!
