Please bring the finished work to school by Monday 2^nd 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.
