Minera VA School Cylchlythyr/Newsletter Friday 31st March 2023/Dydd Gwener, Mawrth 31 2023

Happy Easter from everyone at Minera School. School re-opens on Monday 17th April.

Easter Worship

Today, Year 6 led our special Easter Collective Worship in School. They retold the Easter story in their own words.

Training Days - change of date for summer term

The training day arranged for Wednesday 19th July has been moved to Monday 12th June to facilitate a whole school training event.

Remaining Training Days for this academic year are:
  • Monday 12th June
  • Thursday 20th July

School will now close on Wednesday 19th July for the summer holidays.

Healthy Snack

Our Eco Group have been working on promoting healthy snacks at break times. They presented the benefits of healthy snacks to the whole school during our collective worship earlier this week.

When we return after the Easter holidays, fruit and vegetables will be the only snacks permitted during break times.

Foundation Phase Arrangements

We will return to a system that was used prior to Covid. Parents/Carers will pay £1.50 per week (via Parent Pay) and the healthy snack will be provided by school for all Foundation Phase children.

Junior Arrangements

Children will bring in their own snacks (fruit or vegetables) for break time. The Eco Group are looking into running a Fruit Tuck Shop in the near future.

Thank you in advance for your support with this very important matter.

Readathon

Thank you so much for joining in with our Readathon. We managed to raise an incredible £231 which will go towards buying books and providing author visits for children in hospitals as well as providing book vouchers for us to use in school. Well done to all of the children for taking part and well done to Luke, Alex, Eira and Ivy who won a book to take home.

Author Visit by Damian Harvey

On Thursday 20th April, we will receive our visit from author Damian Harvey. Damian will work with all classes sharing his stories, performing and supporting children with writing stories.

After school on Thursday, from 3:05 p.m., Damian will be signing and selling books. We are extremely grateful to Minera Community Council for funding this fantastic experience for us.

Thank you for your continue support.

Holiday Club

Don't forget Holiday Club will be running during the Easter Holidays with the exception of Good Friday and Easter Monday. For further details, please contact Mrs Armstrong.
