Dear Parent/Guardian,

Milittlepad continue their coding session with Class 4/5B today.
There is no Newport County Football on Tuesday morning. Tomorrow afternoon, the Football Club are taking part in a Football Tournament at the Civil Service Club, in Bettws.

Juniors who have completed homework regularly have their Movie Treat on Wednesday afternoon.

Our Easter Hat Parade takes place on Thursday morning and children are asked to wear a decorated hat with an Easter theme. Afternoon Nursery children will show their hats in the afternoon. We will draw the Easter Raffle after the Hat Parade. Raffle tickets are on sale at the office at breaktime from Monday to Wednesday at 50p per strip.
On Thursday morning we have a short meeting about the Mathletics programme that your child has been able to use at home. Lee Harrison, who works for Mathletics, will be joining us to answer any questions you have and to help you find out more about this programme which runs in schools across the world. He will be joining us at 9.30am but we will be serving tea, coffee and toast from 8.50m (all free) beforehand so please join us from 8.50am onwards. I hope that you will be able to join us. It will be really helpful to us to find out what your child thinks about it at home.
On Thursday we are joined by Dr Sue Davies, from Cardiff Metropolitan University. She will be interviewing some More Able and Talented pupils as part of her research into the social and emotional needs of MAT learners.
On Friday morning, our Easter Assembly will be taken by Class 5/6P. It starts at 9.15am and you are welcome to join us for that.
