Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
In the current climate, both children and adults may be worried or anxious about returning to school.
We have been sent a short Story about Sammy the Sloth facing his fears and returning to school,it has been written and illustrated by Rachel Cook.
This resource can be accessed in the"Newsletters" section on the website.
You may want to read this story with your child which in turn, may open up opportunities for discussion around how your child is feeling.
We are looking forward to welcoming our pupils back to school.

As you are aware schools across Wales are re-opening to more pupils from June 29th 2020 in a phased manner. In order to do this safely we are following WG Guidance and LA Guidance. We are working with the LA to write a Risk Assessment and will be following an Operational Plan to return to Education. I am sure you will fully appreciate the complexities of re-opening our school under Welsh Government directives.
To help support us in our early stages of preparation of a safe return to school we need to know if you intend to send your child back to school this term. The time between 29th June and July 24th will be used for ‘check in and catch up’ sessions. School times and sessions will be different from our usual routine and it is hoped that children will be able to attend a session three times before the end of term if capacity allows us to do this safely. Please can you indicate your intention by kindly answering the questions below.
Please complete and return your responses by 3pm on Thursday 18th June 2020 Many thanks for providing this valuable information for us to use in supporting a safe return to school.

Everyone is really working hard with their activities at home and it has been great to share these with you. Have a look at the class pages to see a few examples of this terrific work. New learning activities have been put up today for each class to complete over the next two weeks. We are continuing with our whole school theme of 'stories.' Nursery pupils are focusing on 'The Rainbow fish' and making new shiny scales!! Rec/Y1 will be busy creating wanted posters to try to catch 'The Highway Rat' while Y2/3 pupils will be focusing on problems,dilemma and resolutions in stories. What a busy fortnight!!

The LA have asked us to share this questionnaire with parents/carers and ask for responses by 10 June 2020 at the very latest to assist us all with planning the next stages in re-opening schools in Swansea. The LA will then provide each school with a breakdown of their specific responses. Many thanks for your continued support.
