• School Photo Proofs

  Tue 21 May 2024

  The children will be bringing home their school photograph proofs today.

  If you would like to place an order, please can these be returned to school to your child's class teacher, no later than 9.30am on Friday 24th May. The photographer will then endeavour to get these orders done over the half term week.

  They will then come in again after half term to collect all final orders which need to be in by 9.30am on Monday 3rd June, thank you.

  If you have any queries about this, please email the school office on admin@pontyclunprimary.rctcbc.cymru.

• Important information - Please read

  Sun 19 May 2024

  REMINDER

  Please can we remind all pupils that they must bring a named refillable water bottle to school each day. This can be re filled at the water stations and/or in class in school.

  We do not have an exhaustive supply of plastic cups and it does not fit well with our Eco policy of reduce, reuse, recycle.

  Please can you also make sure that your child comes to school with sun cream already applied (this should then last them the school day) and a sun hat.

  Both these items are especially important now the weather has started to warm up.

  Thank you for your continued cooperation.

• Information regarding infants - Please read

  Sun 19 May 2024

  With the weather improving we are using our outdoor learning opportunities most days. Staff set up the patio areas outside nursery and reception/ yr1&2 areas with planned skills activities.

  Please can we ask that you don’t allow the children to play with these before and after school as staff do not have the time to reset them before the group sessions.

  The children are always given input into the activity before using them and are expected to tidy/reset them with the adult support in readiness for the following groups.

  Your support in this would be greatly appreciated by all the staff.

  Thank you very much for your continued cooperation

  Kind regards

• Infants Fun Sports Day - Thursday 23rd May

  Sun 19 May 2024

  This Thursday (23rd May) the children will be taking part in our infant fun sports day. We are unable to invite you to watch, sorry, as space is so limited around the school grounds.

  In the infants we split into groups with a mix age range of children and move around different activity stations on a carousel. This way all the children can take part in a variety of fun/active stations in teams. Hopefully when we have our new school and grounds we will be able to invite you to come and join in.

  We will however take lots of photos and videos to upload to the Seesaw announcements for you.

  Can you please make sure your child comes to school with sun cream already applied, a refillable water bottle, sun hat and dressed for outdoor sports/activities this Thursday.

  Year 2 pupils from Mrs Pope’s and Mrs Hancock’s class will also take part in the junior sports day at Maesyfelin field as part of their transition.

  Pre nursery pupils will have already been picked up on the Thursday but will have their own mini sports on Friday morning (24th May).

  Kind regards

  Estyn state that,

  1. Only parents/carers of pupils currently attending the school are able to attend.
