December Newsletter
Mon 18 Dec 2023Dear parents and carers,
Welcome to our December newsletter.
This has been a very busy month with lots of festive activities and events. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support over the past few weeks.
The Christmas concerts were very well-supported and raised a fantastic £779 on concert tickets and raffle sales.
Christmas Party
Our Christmas Party is on Wednesday December 20th. Children can come to school in their party clothes. The children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will have their party in the hall 1.30-2.15pm. They will then return to their class while staff prepare and decorate the hall. All children will then return to the hall for their party food. Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and 2 children can then be collected from their classes at 3.15pm. Years 3-6 will return to the hall for their disco which be until 4.30pm. These children can be collected from their classrooms at 4.30pm. All children must be collected. The children will not need any money for this party.
Staffing
Ms. Rachel Jones will be returning from her maternity leave on January 8th. She will teach
Dosbarth Melyn Mon-Wed morning, and Ms. Colwell will continue in Dosbarth Melyn Wed-Friday
Children’s raffle
The staff of Greenhill have bought some toys and gifts to provide the children with a free raffle. These will be displayed on a table in the hall and all our children will be given a raffle ticket, with the winners choosing a toy from the table. I wish to thank all the staff for their generosity in this regard. The raffle will take place on the last day of term – Thursday December 21st.
Blue Badges
From 8:45am – 9:15am, and from 3pm – 3:30pm, no cars are to drive into the car parks with the exception of the following:
- Taxis/cars bringing children to our SNRB.
- Blue Badge holders who need to exit the car to escort children into the building. (Please note, it the Blue Badge holder does not exit the car either because the child walks into school by themselves, or another non-blue badge holding passenger takes the child in, then there is no need for car to enter the car park.)
We ask for your co-operation in this regard as we strive to ensure the school site is as safe as possible at these busy times.
Dates for Your Diary
Last day of term: Thursday December 21st.
Return to school: Monday January 8th.
I wish you all a very happy Christmas and New Year.

Christmas Parties 2023!
Thu 14 Dec 2023We will be holding our Christmas parties on Wednesday 20th of December. Children can come to school in their party clothes but we ask that parents are wary of the weather forcast and the suitability of the clothing for a day in school. Dinner will be as normal. The children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will have their party in the hall 1.30-2.15pm. They will then return to their class while staff prepare and decorate the hall. All children will then return to the hall for their party food. Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and 2 children can then be collected from their classes at 3.15pm. Years 3-6 will return to the hall for their disco which be until 4.30pm. These children can be collected from their classrooms at 4.30pm.

Newsletter October 2023
Fri 27 Oct 2023Welcome 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.
