Athlete Visit
Our Great Athletes visit on Wednesday was a huge success. The children had fun doing their sponsored circuits, learning about the benefits of keeping fit, and meeting Natalie Powell who talked about her journey to becoming an Olympic athlete, and demonstrated some of her judo skills!
Thank you so much for all of the sponsorship money, the current total is over £1300 to spend on sports equipment. If you haven’t had chance to sponsor yet, there is still time, you can sponsor online here: https://sportal.greatathletes.org/events/landing or send in the sponsor form and money next week.

PTA News
Spooky season is here! Which means there’s less than three weeks to go until our Spooktacular Disco on Wednesday 23rd October. Check out the poster below for full details:
These events are only possible with the help of our amazing volunteers. If you’re able to help with this event, even if that’s for just one of the discos or the full duration, please get in touch via friendsofbrynmill@gmail.com
Finally we’re calling for donations of baked goods to sell during the disco. If you’re a dab hand in the kitchen, and would like to donate something tasty, please get in touch via the email address above.
Thank you so much for your support.
Rights Respecting School
As a Rights Respecting School, we focus each month on a particular Article from the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child. Assemblies, Circle time and class activities are based on these Rights. In connection with these, we also have a Value of the Month. Together, the Rights & Values encourage our learners to be respectful of each other, safe, and to be the best they can be.
Right of the Month for October
You have the right to clean water, healthy food, a clean environment and good healthcare (Article 24)
