Dear parents/carers
FAMILY BREAKFAST – Friday 6th March
Our next family breakfast club is this week, Friday 6th March from 8:30am. There is a £1 cost for any adult attending. Please come along to enjoy breakfast with your children.
Cwmffrwdoer Eisteddfod
Pupils, staff and governors enjoyed our eisteddfod on Monday. Thank you for your support, the children all looked great in their Welsh clothes/colours!
Castles House were the overall 2020 Eisteddfod winners this year.
Groups of pupils will be taking part in Pontypool Eisteddfod next week. Children will receive separate letters for this.
Uniform
Thank you to the majority of our parents who ensure children come to school appropriately dressed. A polite reminder that we expect all children to wear school uniform; this includes black/dark school shoes/trainers. For safety reasons we ask that children only wear stud earrings and that no other jewellery is worn. We also ask that smart watches are not worn to school.
Come and join us for Creative Arts in all classes! – Tuesday 31/3/20 morning
Please add this date to your diaries. Classes will be opening their doors to parents and governors to show how creative arts are taught in line with the new curriculum in Wales.
More information will be shared nearer to the date.
