Thank you – A big thank you to the Arts Council of Wales and National Lottery, who gave us a grant for the Y5/6 children to go and see Theatr Na Nog’s production of The White Feather. We were also lucky enough to win some Technocamp workshops linked to the performance, these will take place in school next Tuesday.

Y1/2B – Class Assembly – The first of our Class Assemblies start next week on Friday , all welcome.

Y5/6 have a trip to the LC for a Sports Session with UWTSD, we are asking for £2.50 voluntary contribution towards the cost of the bus. Children are asked to wear sports clothes, have a packed lunch, and bring a labelled bottle of water.

School Photographer – Our school photographers will be with us on Tuesday 16th & Wed 17th Oct. Please can children come prepared to have their photo taken on both days. If you would like photos with any siblings who are not in school, these will start at 8.30am  and be on a first come first served basis (If your child attends afternoon Nursery then these sessions will be at 1.00pm on those days).  Children with siblings in school will have their photos taken during the school day.  The photographer will send out a link to view the photographs via email, if you haven’t previously provided or given your consent for us to pass on your email address, please contact the school office. You are under no obligation to buy the photos.

A plea from a very busy school office. We apologise for the amount of paperwork we have sent home recently, but would appreciate it if you could return any outstanding forms, such as Admission Forms, Data Collection Forms, Flu Vaccine Consent, My Selfie Consent, Proof of Date of Birth or Proof of Address. If you think it’s a lot of paperwork, please consider the Admin Team who have to process 300 times that amount! 🙂

Head lice/ Nits – Please check your child for head lice/nits and treat if required.

Child Absent from School – Just a reminder that if your child is going to be absent from school, we ask that you contact the school by 9.30am to let us know where they are.  Please call the school office on 463019, or email brynmill.primary@swansea-edunet.gov.uk. If we haven’t heard from you we will send a text, if we do not receive a reply to the text  then unfortunately we will give your child an unauthorised absence mark on the register.

Reception and Year 7 Admissions – September 2018. If your child is currently in Nursery or Year 6, they will receive a letter from the Local Authorities’ Admissions Team asking you to apply for a place for next year. If you do not receive a letter, please contact the school office.

Attendance – Congratulations to Y1/2H with 100%, and to Y3/4J with 98.6% this week. Llongyfarchiadau!
