Dear Parent/Carer,
Well done to Class 4/5B on their lovely Class Assembly on Friday!
Year 6 had a great time in Talybont Outdoor Pursuits Centre last week even though they got very wet and muddy at times! Thank you to staff who accompanied them on this trip.
Minecraft sessions in Years 3 and 4 continue today.
Reception vision tests take place on Tuesday and the Y1 Dental Survey also takes place.
This week Newport County Football is taking place for 4/5B on Tuesday.
The Year 6 Transition project takes place on Wednesday.
The Communities First After School Club for children in Years 5 and 6 runs every Wednesday from 3.30-5.30pm at the SHARE Centre just up the hill from the school. (Sessions cost 50p for the two hours.)
Mr Roberts is running an after school Safe Cycling Course for pupils in Year 6, starting on Thursday. Pupils attending must have a road worthy bike and a helmet. Further details are on a separate letter going home with Year 6 pupils tonight.

Mr Kelvin Reddicliffe, who donated two large Chartist prints to the school, and a further set of small prints for fundraising for St Anne’s Hospice and St David’s Foundation (Newport Hospice), has given us a further limited edition Chartist canvas print to raffle in aid of the Nepal Earthquake appeal. (This print comes with verification that Oliver Budd has approved its use. Look on Twitter @StWoolosPrimary to see what it is like.)
Tickets are available for a cost of 50p and will be on sale every break time this week. The draw will be on Friday afternoon.

A reminder about our last INSET day- Monday 8th June
Mrs Lord
Mrs Lord, our school cook, will be retiring on Friday. We will all be very sad to see her go but are also pleased for her now that she will have the chance to enjoy her retirement. I would like to thank her for her commitment and warm-heartedness towards all of the pupils at St Woolos Primary School in the seven years that she has been here. We will be saying goodbye to Mrs Lord in the Class Assembly on Friday and I know that she will be greatly missed!
Eco tip
Turn your thermostat down now that the weather is getting warmer.
Bonus Ball
There is a rollover this week!
Yours sincerely,
H Vaughan
Headteacher
