We're excited to announce that our field is now officially open for all our pupils to enjoy! It's such a joy to see them playing and learning outdoors. We're also hoping to create a special 'nature reserve' in our school grounds and would love some parent volunteers to help out. If you're interested, please get in touch with Mrs. Parry through the school office. This week, our focus is on our beautiful school grounds in 'Qwestiwn yr Wythnos'. Take a look below to see what the pupils think, and feel free to share your own thoughts too by clicking the link below!
Exciting news! Caffi Cynefin is now featuring... 'Flash Mob Choir!'. If you have a birthday to celebrate or would like to surprise somebody you know with a special performance, be in touch and let us know! Please note, the choir will not perform in every Caffi but are available for special occasions which will provide our pupils with another chance to perform to a live audience as well as provide a treat for our community! One lovely customer left the following feedback this week and we are thrilled... "Lovely service from pupils. I was extremely lucky to be there when the choir came on. What a treat! This made my day."
A huge diolch yn fawr for supporting our #Read2Relax week, the pupil have supported planting more trees to encourage sustainability, swapped books and this afternoon will be sharing a story with different pods over a hot chocolate!
Please note, there is a new date for the diary below. Our class photographs will be taken on June 21st by the wonderful Roz and Kirsty!
What's the buzz from the pupils this week? "Cwestiwn yr Wythnos!" We ask pupils a weekly question in order to feed into our school improvement. Parents and carers can have a say by clicking here. "What do you love about the summer term?"
Pod Pengwin: "I love gardening and planting new things. I like playing outside games like tag, freeze and stuck in the mud. I feel happy when the sun is shining!"
Pod Pysgodyn: "I like it when we have ice-cream. I love going on the field because you can run around, we play hide and seek in the wild area and cat and mouse. We go outside to do learning too which is fun!"
Pod PryCop: "I love that we can go on the field, we do lots of gymnastics together. I like it when we make things like bug hotels and last term, we made a shelter with a teacher from Zambia. It was brilliant".
Mr G's Internet Safety Tip of the Week: Encourage your child to use child-friendly internet searches.
With the ever-increasing amount of material available on the internet, such as websites, images, and videos, it is crucial to search carefully. This guide will help parents and carers assist children in searching safely. Most children use search engines to find things on the Internet. Research has found that search providers’ sites are the most visited among the majority of children and young people. While search engines have incredible benefits, such as helping with school assignments, there is also a risk of children being exposed to potentially harmful or even illegal material. In school, we encourage children to use safe search engines like Swiggle or Kiddle. For more information, please click here.
