Next week will be our last week to achieve the Values this term. We just want to explain what the pupils have chosen as their reward system. A copy of the policy with all this information in , is available for you to read on the school website: Behaviour Policy.

Every time your child has received the Values they will have received a postcard. Each time they have a postcard it is recorded. If they have 5 postcards in the term then their name will go into the raffle 5 times. This increases their chance of being selected by 5 times. The pupils have decided that 15 selections are the right amount, and that is what we will do. 15 names will be selected and each of those pupils will choose a voucher of their choice for £25.
It was explained to the pupils that this means that not everyone has a small prize as the funds used for the 15 pupils will be a large amount. They understand this and wanted to use a raffle system with this understanding. The reasons they give are : they would like to have the chance of receiving a voucher to use on what they want , rather than a small prize they don't really want.
Pupils were reminded of this decision this week and have agreed that they still want to have the raffle and have the chance of a bigger prize. Weekly younger pupils have small prizes and older pupils have golden time so everyone wins.
Many thanks for your understanding
Spooky Disco
Our disco will be on Wednesday 18th October. For Foundation phase nursery to Y2 it will start immediately after school (pupils can wear costumes to school that day) and will cost £2.50. Please give this money to the class teacher that morning. This will enable your child to have a drink, sweets and a snack. Foundation phase will finish at 4pm.
KS2 (Y3-Y6) will start at 4.15pm until 5.15pm. Pupils can bring £1.50 with them and this will give them entry. They can bring money to the disco as there will be a shop for the older pupils to buy snacks.
Please note we will not be able to provide snacks or disco entry without payment.
We have a wide range of costumes that will be on sale after school next Wednesday, if you would like to buy them. These are at hugely discounted prices compared to shop prices.
Many thanks
Dear parents Staff have always been very proactive in answering messages and queries early morning for school related queries. If you have worries or concerns please message the school messenger account, admin email :admin@maesymorfa.ysgolccc.cymru and not staff directly. Unfortunately, we are unable to respond to messages sent directly to personal accounts. Thank you so much for you understanding.
Dear parents,
Pupils have golden time now on a Friday afternoon. This is what they have chosen for a reward for achieving our school values this year.
Nursery and reception have asked to continue with prizes. At the end of the term the number of times a pupil has been rewarded with a prize will result in their name added to a tombola and the possibility of being selected for a bigger prize.
As they choose what they would like to do on the day our Forest School option is available. This means the pupils can be making something on the firepit , weeding, planting or harvesting as well as constructing dens. Please could I ask for a donation of these items specifically:
Wellington boots, zip up all over wet weather gear like salopettes (like skiing). Heavy duty waterproof trousers and coats not normal coats as the pupils will have those. In a range of sizes please. We can keep them in school then and when they choose it does not have to be weather permitting.
Thank you so much.
se of video recording outside of school.
We have been part of a video recording done by Atkins. Atkins are a company of civil engineers supporting our school at the moment with scientific resources and lessons. Pupils made wind turbines and many other constructing opportunities during the video on that day. One of our school governors works in a senior capacity with company. The video is already available on 'you tube' but not the full version as permission has not been sought. No pupils where parents have indicated on their registration paperwork (when pupil started school you don't want photos or videos taken of your child.) were involved in this recording.
The company would like to share the full video with other schools in Wales to promote the work they are doing. If you do not want your child to be part of this could you let us know and we will ask to have the video edited before it is shared. Please let us know before 21st May if you have any problems.
Many thanks
