  • Mrs Edmonds

    Tue 31 Jan 2017 Mr Williams

    Mrs Jayne Edmonds has been seconded for two days a week to work with Wrexham and Flintshire Inclusion Service on a Welsh Government Project until the end of the Spring Term.

    Mrs Edmonds will be teaching Nursery & Reception Class on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and on Thursday and Friday children will be taught by Miss Rhiannon Loney. The children met Miss Loney last week.

    Both Mrs Edmonds and Miss Loney will work together to ensure the high standards and expectations are continued in Nursery and Reception.

    I am sure you will join me in wishing Mrs Edmonds every success with her seconded post.

  • Headteacher News - Monday 16th January

    Mon 16 Jan 2017 Mr Williams

    We had a very wintry end to the week last week but thankfully we did not have much snow.

     

    On Friday, the school choir were very busy, they sang at Cherry Tree Nursing Home and held a bag packing fundraiser at Morrisons in Wrexham. They raised £100 and I would like to thank Mrs Edmonds for organising this activity and parents for helping with transport. Year 5/6 enjoyed their first Numeracy lesson with Wrexham FC, please could I remind all pupils to ensure they have the appropriate kit for outdoor PE on Wednesday. 

     

    I was very impressed with our attendance last week, see our home page for more information. Keep the excellent work!

     

    We have introduced new Christian Values themes for children to explore. Every half term, our school looks at a different Christian Value that we try to instil in our everyday practice. On our monthly newsletter, we will make reference to these values and we ask that parents try to reinforce each value at home. Our Christian Value for this half term is Courage.

    Happy New Year 

     

    We had a short week last week and everyone settled in very well following the Christmas holidays.

     

    This week, we get back into the swing of things with some very exciting events. On Tuesday, Year 5/6 are visiting Techniquest in Wrexham to take part in a Lab Workshop. Wednesday Year 5/6  start a five  week Numeracy Programme with Wrexham Football Club.  Friday is a very busy day, we are holding a non uniform day to raise money for our Young Voices Concert, the choir are visiting Cherry Tree Nursing Home, bag packing in Morrisons in Wrexham and Year 3/4 start their block of swimming lessons.

     

    The weather is getting colder and a wintry spell of weather has been predicted so please keep an eye on the school website and twitter for any information regarding school closure due to poor weather.

     

    Please remember that my door is always open to discuss any issues you may have...
