• Eco News: February Battery Collection Winners

  Sun 10 Mar 2024 Kirsty palmer

  Congratulations to Miss Rees' class, Y2ER. They have won the battery collection competition for February by collecting an amazing amount of batteries. They managed to collect 609! Well done, another amazing effort.

  We are now part of Duracell's Big Battery Collection Scheme and are currently 45th on the UK leader board! 

  We will be counting the next lot early, as we break up on 22nd, so only 2 weeks left for this month. It is shocking, that as a society, we use so many batteries but at least we are doing our bit to stop them ending up in landfill so please keep sending them into us.

  Thank you again for your support.

  Mrs Palmer and the Eco Committee

• Neurodivergence webinars for Parents/ carers

  Fri 01 Mar 2024 Julie Miller

  The Wales National Neurodivergence Team are launching a programme of free virtual advice sessions specifically for parents and carers of neurodivergent children, young people and adults.

   

  These sessions will take place once a month, and each will focus on a particular ND-related topic - forthcoming sessions include: Advocating For Your Child; Supporting Siblings; Managing Meltdowns; Anxiety Management and Supporting ND Children in School.

   

  The format of the sessions will reflect that of the Community of Practice sessions, comprising a presentation on the topic, followed by a Q&A. The presentation part of the session will be uploaded to the Autism Wales website shortly afterwards.

   

  The first Parents & Carers Virtual Advice Session, Autism & Family Dynamics, will be delivered by Professor Tony Attwood on Wednesday the 20^th of March, 9:30-11:30am. 

   

  For further information, please see the attached flyer. Here is a link for parents to sign up to the webinar:

  It's that time again! Let's get Spring cleaning/sorting.

  .

  We will be collecting your unwanted, reusable clothing donations again to raise money for our School through the 'Rags 2 Riches 4 Schools' collection. 

   

  As yet we haven't been sent collection bags but we wanted to let you all know prior to the half term break.

   

  Our collection date is 15th March so please do not send in any clothes just yet. We will send bags out as soon as we have them and let you know when to bring your bags into school.
