NO OUTSIDERS DAY - Monday 29th September

Dear Parents and Carers,

We’re excited to share that today is our half termly 'No Outsiders Day' at Bedlinog Community Primary School. This term's theme is identity, self-image, and the power of being uniquely ourselves.

This theme invites pupils to explore what makes each of us special. Through a series of engaging stories and discussions, children will reflect on the importance of individuality, self-worth, and acceptance. These activities are designed to help every child feel proud of who they are and understand the value of diversity within our school community.

You can find a full overview of the books and themes we’ll be exploring on our website

We’re proud to be a school where everyone belongs, and 'No Outsiders Day' is a reminder that our differences make us stronger.

Thank you for supporting this important part of our school ethos—we look forward to celebrating with your children!

MACMILLAN COFFEE MORNING

On Friday 26th September we will be supporting the Macmillan Coffee Morning — a lovely way to come together as a school community while supporting a truly important cause.

For the event we will be running a 'Grab and Go' pop up cake shop on the lower yard during drop off where we will be selling cakes and coffee which you can take with you to work/home. For the event we would ask for any donations of cakes and biscuits (not home made). Please could all donations be sent in to School. 

Your support makes a big difference and every cake shared and coin donated helps Macmillan continue their incredible work! Thank you.

To kick off the festive season, we are inviting all pupils to take part in our heart warming Bring a Bauble event! Children are encouraged to bring a bauble from home to hang on their class Christmas tree. Whether it’s sparkly, handmade, sentimental, or simply fun, each bauble will help create a tree that’s as unique and special as the class itself.

🎁 Why It’s Special:

• Every bauble tells a story and reflects the personality of our pupils

• It’s a lovely way to share traditions and celebrate together

• It brings festive cheer to every classroom and gets us all in the Christmas spirit!

No need to buy anything new—just choose a bauble that means something to you and bring it in to help make your class tree shine. Let’s fill our school with warmth, colour, and holiday joy!

(All decorations will be returned at the end of term)
