Welcome
Newsletter October 2023
Welcome to our October newsletter.
As always here at Greenhill, we have been very busy with lots happening!
We are very proud of the learning that is happening across the school! I’m sure those of you who follow us on X (Twitter) are enjoying seeing the messages and photographs of some fantastic work and experiences.
We invite all families to follow us on X, search for @greenhill10 and you will find us.
We pride ourselves on offering children a range of experiences whilst at Greenhill Primary. Over the past 8 weeks various children across the school have been on educational visits, to St Fagans for example, and worked with visitors to the school, including musicians to teach drum, guitar, dood and p-buzz.
We have also ensured that our children’s learning extends beyond the general curriculum, including workshops on climate change, the Ambulance Service working with our older children to increase their knowledge of CPR and defibrillator use to save lives, and Dosbarth Gwyrdd working with Kerbcraft to increase their awareness of road safety.
Report to Parents
The Governing Body report to parents is now available on the school website www.greenhillprm.co.uk
Costume Swap
Many thanks to those families who donated halloween costumes. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
After half-term, Mrs Gould will contact families about our Christmas Jumper Swap. This was very popular last year, so dig out the old jumpers that no longer fit and we will see if we can find them new homes.
Communication
Please ensure we are kept up-to-date with any changes of phone number or address.
SeeSaw is our preferred method of communication. It is essential that all parents and carers download the SeeSaw app so you can keep up to date with letters and messages.
Healthy Eating
Thank you for supporting us with our drive for healthy snacks. It has been lovely to see the number of children enjoying the healthy free school meals. Please note that from next term, sweets eg lollies, haribos and winders, will not be permitted in packed lunch boxes

Welcome Abigail Evans
We are very pleased to inform parents and carers that Abi Evans has joined our staff at Greenhill. Abi has been filling the big shoes left by Janet Davies in the school office for some time now and we are pleased to say that she is to join us permanently.
