Friday June 30th
Another wonderful week at Waunarlwydd full of learning and laughter. The highlight has been our whole school 3D art project linked to Wales and our area. The children look forward to showing their hard work next week during parent workshops. We hope you can make it. Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed their Triathlon event at Gowerton School, big thanks to all involved!
More change to tell you about on the staffing front. After a lot of hard work, we can now congratulate Mrs Hyatt on following her dream to become a midwife. She starts University in September and, after making a huge difference to so many children over the years, we have no doubt that she will be a huge success in her new role!
INSET DAYS and Start of the new year
Monday 24th July is an INSET DAY. The children’s last day in school will be Friday July 21st.
We can now confirm that the new year in September will start for children on Tuesday September 5th. Friday September 1st and Monday September 4th are INSET DAYS.
Reminder – Family support – Early help hub linking with school
We have linked with the City and County of Swansea to enhance understanding and engagement with early Help Hubs. A senior lead worker is based at our school fortnightly to offer support to families, children and parents in a variety of ways. For example, support with children’s behaviour, emotional health & wellbeing, money, housing, ALN group work, ASD Awareness group, Under 11’s family lives group, understanding adolescents group, healthy relationship work and much more. If you would like to book an informal consultation with our lead worker, Yasmin, please contact us.
