Mrs Jackie Parker, Head of Crickhowell High School…Mrs Parker has kindly agreed to talk to pupils and parents about the High School and transition arrangements. This meeting is for all parents but would be of particular relevance to year 6 pupils and their parents who I would urge to attend if at all possible. The meeting is at our school at 6.30pm on Monday.

Harvest Festival…will be held at St Edmunds at 11am on Thursday. Parents, grandparents and other relatives are warmly invited to attend. For the first time this year we will also be holding a Harvest Festival in school on the same afternoon. We are not asking parents to come to this but will be inviting senior citizens from the local community to join us. Each class will be putting together a ‘Harvest hamper’ to be distributed to good causes. Please send in a donation for the hamper with your child at the beginning of the week; fruit, vegetables, tinned and packet goods would all be suitable

News From ‘The Friends’

Thursday 20 October - Halloween Disco

Infants 4pm - 5pm, Juniors 5pm - 6pm.

Entry - £1.50 which includes a drink, biscuit and a treat. All pupils must be collected by a parent/guardian, children will not be allowed to walk home alone.

Friday 4 November - Bonfire Night

The fun begins at 6pm. Come along and enjoy the fireworks plus hot dogs, soup, hot & cold drinks, chocolate apples and glow sticks. We still need volunteers - please get in touch if you can help. Tickets will be available after half-term.

 Sunday 13 November - Bag Packing in Morrisons, Brecon

From 10am until 4pm. We need volunteers to spend a few hours bag packing. Children are encouraged to help but need to be closely supervised, so we're suggesting that children helping/bag packing should be over 7. This is a great way to raise funds for the school in a relatively short amount of time. So please help if you can.

Please contact Heidi Purnell, Wendy Lock, Gail Milsom or Susie Keylock if you can help or leave a note in the red 'friends' box in reception.

Bag Packing Fund Raiser!

Advance notice that the Friends have managed to secure a day of bag packing fund raising at Morrison's supermarket in Brecon on Sunday 13th November. This is a fantastic way to raise large sums of money quite quickly. They now need some volunteers to give some time to help out. Please get in touch with one of the Friends if you think you can assist.

Parents’ evenings for children in the Nursery and Reception classes….will be held later in the term once parents have received a written report from the class teacher which describes the outcomes of initial assessments. This is part of new assessment and reporting arrangements for the Foundation Phase introduced by the Welsh Government.

Swimming lessons this week…have been swapped to allow Year 6 to help with the Open Afternoon. Year 6 will swim on Thursday, Year 5 will swim on Wednesday for this week only.

Mrs Lisa Wilkinson, who has been involved in training staff and assisting us with the development of RWI will be there to help parents find out more and answer any questions.
