Thank you for all your amazing fundraising efforts for our Great Athletes event with Natalie Powell. Prizes have been given out to pupils today. The final total raised for new sports equipment is an incredible £1,744.98! The Health and Wellbeing Ambassadors pupil voice team will be creating a questionnaire so that all pupils can have a say in how the money is going to be spent.

Local Half Term Activities

PTA News

There’s less than one week to go until our Spooktacular Disco with the amazing DJ Dan on Wednesday 23rd October! Don’t forget to get a costume ready. Disco times are as follows: 

Pobbles & Bracelet 3:30-4:30pm 
Caswell & Oxwich 4:45-5:45pm 

Entry to the disco is via Gate 2. So once your child has been collected, please queue up from there. 

Please note that all older siblings attending the first disco session must stay with their parents to avoid overcrowding. If it’s possible for older and younger siblings to wait at home with a parent or carer then please can you do so. Children in Pobbles and Bracelet are welcome to wear their costumes to school. We will be running the pumpkin competition again, so if you’d like to take part, please don’t forget to bring yours along to the disco with a label that includes your child’s name and class. 

Finally, please remember this is a cash only event and entry per child is £1.50. We’re looking for volunteers to help with our Spooktacular event, if you’re keen to lend a hand setting up, during the event, cleaning up or baking something for the bake sale, please drop us a message on friendsofbrynmill@gmail.com We’re mostly in need of helpers for the first disco from 3:30-4:30pm.

Green Scene

Our next Green Scene volunteer session will be taking place on Sunday 20th October from 10-12:30pm. This will be our last session of 2024 and we’d love to see a host of lovely faces there.

As always, there will be lots of jobs to get stuck in with and all equipment will be provided. We also provide refreshments and offer a creative activity for children after our break around 11:30am. Please let us know if you can attend by emailing jodibethanmoss@gmail.com Thank you so much!
