Dear Parent,
Thank you for supporting Children in Need on Friday! We raised a total of £165.75 Thank you also to Mrs Kidd and Mrs Martin for the Cha Cha dance sessions. Fab!
Mrs Dickenson’s Reception class did their very first Class Assembly last week and it was lovely! Well done! Thank you for supporting them.
I’d like to say well done to last year’s Class 5/6P who did so well at the Senedd in Cardiff last week! Well done also to Classes 5/6P and 5/6W who sang so well on the opening day for Friars’ Walk! Thank you very much also to parents and family members who accompanied us to this event and the one at Caerleon. It was lovely also to see so many parents supporting us.
A final well done goes to the Year 5 pupils from Class 4/5B who took part in a Take Over Day at Caerleon Roman Legionary Museum on Thursday and who wrote and acted in a film which will be used as a teaching resource by the museum. They were on the ITV news at tea time and they, and all of the pupils who took part in events last week, made us very proud.
Our Junior Enterprise week starts today.
Ann Roberts and Martin Jones from Value Added Education have spent the day with us today with Year 5 in the morning and Year 6 in the afternoon. The children have been learning about ‘Green Screen’ techniques for film making.
Tony Bujeya from Nant Coch Church is taking the assembly tomorrow. He regularly visits schools in the Newport and surrounding area and has been coming to St Woolos for over twenty years.
An audiologist is visiting the Nursery on Tuesday afternoon to carry out some hearing tests.

The Junior Enterprise Sale takes place this Thursday from 3.00-4.00pm in the top hall. Each of the classes will be selling their items and persuading you to visit their shop and I hope that you will be able to join us for that. Each class will use the profit they make to buy something for their classroom.
The Nursery Literacy/Number and Play course continues this Friday with sessions from 9.30-11.10am or 1.00-3.00pm. The group will do special Christmas learning activities on Friday 27th November and Friday 4th December.

When the Nursery gates are open and you are on the yard, please remember that it is your responsibility to supervise your child until the start of the Nursery session.
