  A huge thank you from myself and the Eco Committee. Because of your support we collected a whopping 554kg of unwanted clothes and accessories. All of this will go to help the people of Ukraine. By re-using clothes items we are helping our environment too. We also managed to raise £277 for the school.

  Thank you again for your support and if you missed this collection we plan another for the Spring Term.

  Camhs Parental workshop - Monday 4th December  

   

  We are excited to once again be working with Camhs In Reach service this year, to deliver training and workshop to parents, staff and children.  

   

  Our next workshop is Monday 4th December at 3.30pm (venue to be confirmed). This session, we will be focusing on Emotional Regulation. We would love to see as many parents there as possible.

   

  The session should last an hour and we can offer childcare to enable as many parents to come as possible. If you would like to take up this opportunity, please can you let Mrs Miller know the number of childcare places required by Friday 1st December, so she can arrange staffing (by phoning the school or by emailing Mrs Miller on millerj67@hwbcymru.net).  

   

  Many thanks and we look forward to seeing you on the 4th December.

  Can I just say a huge thank you on behalf of the Eco Committee. Your bags of clothes have been coming in thick and fast this week and we really do appreciate your support.

  The bags are being collected on Monday so if you haven't brought them in yet, or still have more to sort, you still have time. You can drop bags off later today, tomorrow and then lastly on Monday morning. There are more spare bags in school or use recycling bags of your own. 

  Thanks again!

• Sketty School Battery Collection

  Sketty School Battery Collection.

  We want your used batteries!

  Did you know each year in the UK we throw away around 600 million batteries? Laid end to end these batteries would reach from the UK to Australia and back again.

  Thousands of tonnes of CO2 emissions can be avoided if we increase battery recycling.

  The Eco Committee have launched a monthly competition to encourage this.

  Please send in any used batteries with your child. Each classroom has a recycling box. At the end of each month, the Eco team will collect and count the batteries. The class that collects the most will receive a certificate and keep our ‘Eco Dewi Dragon’ with them for the month.

  Please support a great scheme that can help protect our environment.

  You still have another week to sort out your unwanted clothes for our Ukraine collection. If you need more bags please ask your child's class teacher.

  Any filled bags can now be brought into school. You can leave your bags in the large container at the school barrier which will be open at the start and end of each school day for the next week. 

  The Eco Committee are very keen to beat their existing record and earn more money for the school as well as help those in need and our environment. 

  Thank you for your support.
