Welcome
Letter to parents and carers, 26.02.21
February 26th 2021
To parents/guardians of Greenhill pupils
It has been so lovely to welcome all our Foundation Phase pupils back this week. They have come bounding into school, and seem so happy to be back! Their teachers are very happy to see them as well!
You are probably aware the Education Minister has announced that all Key Stage Two (Juniors) will return on March 15th. We will be in touch with more details nearer the time.
School Dinners
School dinners will resume on Monday March 1st. Please note, this will be for INFANT CHILDREN ONLY. Junior children accessing the on-site provision will still need to be provided with a packed lunch. Junior children in receipt of Free School Meals will continue to receive a delivery from the Local Authority.
St David’s Day
Next Monday is March 1st. It would be lovely if the children dress in Welsh rugby shirts or costumes to celebrate. However, if your child has not got a costume, please don’t worry and certainly don’t feel you have to go shopping for one. We completely understand that things are very different this year.
World Book Day
Next Thursday, March 4th, is World Book Day. Due to the current lockdown situation, I am not going to add to the pressure on parents at the current time by asking you to send your child to school dressed in a costume. Instead, we will make sure the children take part in a range of book-themed activities during the school day.
Smoking Ban
You may be aware that there are new laws being introduced across Wales on 1st March, which build on the smoking ban introduced in 2007. The new laws will cover spaces where children and young people spend their time – such as school grounds and public playgrounds, as well as the outdoor areas of children’s daycare and childminding settings. Hospital grounds will also be part of the new legislation. Therefore, please be mindful that it is against the law to smoke within school grounds; this includes our turning circle.
Finally I’d take this opportunity to thank you for all your support over the past few weeks, and your compliance with our Covid-19 protocols.
I look forward to the whole school returning soon,
Take care.
Lisa Jones
Headteacher
