Welcome
May Newsletter.
Dear parents and carers,
Welcome to our May newsletter. Recently the children have really enjoyed taking part in our Spanish-themed day, and our celebrations for the King’s coronation. I hope you enjoyed seeing the photos on SeeSaw.
Summer Trips
Each year at Greenhill Primary School we aim to offer our children a range of experiences to help them to grow and develop. During the summer term, we take the children on a ‘fun’ trip to, for example, a theme park. Unfortunately, as you are aware, in recent months there has been a considerable increase in the cost of living and this has had a significant impact on the prospective cost of such visits, due to substantial increases in fuel, coach hire and entry fees. Therefore, following discussions with staff and the school governing body, we have agreed that this year we will instead take the children to a local venue and subsidise the trip.
Soon, you will be receiving the permission forms for each visit, which are:
Friday 15th May: Dosbarth Enfys trip to Meadow Farm
Thursday 15th June: Picnic in the Park with Years 5 & 6 at Ynysangharad Park.
Monday 26th June: Picnic in the Park with Years 2, 3 and 4 at Ynysangharad Park.
Friday 7th July: Dosbarth Melyn Year 1s to Barry Island
Staff from Dosbarth Arian and Aur will contact families as soon as possible with details of their trips.
Attendance
Our Education Welfare Officer is assisting the school in monitoring attendance. It is important you let us know why your child is not in school on their first day of absence. If we do not receive a reason, the absence will be unauthorised If your child’s attendance is under 85%, absences will no longer be authorised unless accompanied by medical evidence. Unauthorised absences may result in a Fixed Penalty Notice.
Prime Drink
Children should only be drinking water, milk or sugar-free squash in school. Recently we have seen an increasing number of children bringing in Prime. From tomorrow, (Thursday May 11th), children will not be allowed to drink this in school.
