competing in an Eisteddfod in school. As a home/school task we would like you
to support your children in making a picture or model to celebrate Welsh
culture and heritage. Please bring the finished work to school by Monday 2nd
March so that the work can be displayed for the Eisteddfod.
FAST
We
are extremely pleased to inform you that the FAST (Families & Schools
Together Programme) is well attended and proving to be very successful. We
would like to organise a special event / thank you on week 8, for all of the
families who complete the course.
Wales v England Raffle
Congratulations to Jacob in class1 on winning the
raffle prize. The school raised £260. Thank you to all of you who bought a
ticket, I hope that you enjoy the match on Friday night.
Credit Union
Just a reminder that children can save money at
school via the credit union scheme. If your child brings money to school on a
Friday morning, it will be banked in the savings scheme. All new savers receive
a free money box and you can keep a record of your child’s savings via a saving
book. Parents can withdraw the money at any time. A saving of £2 a week over a
child’s 8 years at Glenboi will return well in excess of £600.
School Values
As a school we have identified 7 core values that
we want to ensure that our pupils understand and demonstrate. Our Value for February
is TRUST, we are discussing this
value and the importance of telling the truth, being trusted and who you can
and cannot trust (Including stranger danger and staying safe on the internet -
next week is National Internet Safety Week). I would appreciate your support by
talking to your children at home about
- Trust
,
- Telling
the truth
- stranger
Danger
- Internet
safety (Junior children)
This will support all of the work we are doing in
class and in assemblies.
