Supporting Parents With E‑Safety: Keeping Children Safe Online

As a school, we know how quickly technology evolves. New apps, games, and online trends appear almost overnight, and it can be challenging for parents and grandparents to stay up to date with the latest online safety concerns. Keeping children safe online is a shared responsibility, and we want to ensure every family feels confident and informed.

To support our community, we have arranged a free e‑safety awareness session here at the school on Monday 2nd February, 14:00 - 15:30. This session is designed specifically for parents and grandparents, offering practical guidance, up‑to‑date information, and simple strategies to help keep children safe while using technology both at home and in school.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 What to expect:

• Clear, accessible advice on current online risks

• Tips for setting boundaries and having conversations about online behaviour

• Guidance on privacy, security, and age‑appropriate use

• A chance to ask questions and build confidence in supporting your child

HARVEST FESTIVAL - Tuesday 14th October

Dear Parents/Carers,

On Tuesday 14th October, we will be celebrating Harvest at Bethel Chapel in Bedlinog. Each class will be contributing to our Harvest Festival, where we will reflect on the importance of giving and thanks during this season. As part of our celebration, we are kindly asking for donations of non-perishable food items. These will be collected and donated to our local foodbank, helping to support families in need within our community.

Examples of suitable donations include:

• Tinned goods (vegetables, fruit, soup, beans)
• Pasta, rice, and cereals
• Long-life milk or juice
• Tea, coffee, and biscuits

Please could any donations be sent into school by Monday 13th October.

Thank you for your continued support and generosity.

Today we are celebrating No Outsiders Day, with a special focus on the theme of relationships. This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to promoting inclusion, respect, and understanding within our school community.

Throughout the day, pupils will take part in activities and discussions that explore:

• The importance of building positive relationships with friends, family, and peers.

• How kindness, empathy, and respect help us to connect with others.

• Ways to celebrate differences and ensure that everyone feels valued and included.

By engaging with this theme, children will develop a deeper understanding of how relationships shape our lives and how we can all contribute to a school environment where no one feels like an outsider.

We are delighted to announce a new partnership between Trelewis Primary School and the NHS, launching Health Drop‑In sessions at school. These sessions will provide parents with direct access to health visitors, school nurses, and play therapists, who will be available on site during drop‑off times.

The Health Drop‑Ins are designed to:

• Offer practical advice on supporting children’s development and wellbeing.

• Provide guidance on a wide range of health‑related issues.

• Create opportunities for parents to ask questions and seek professional support in a friendly, accessible setting.

The focus of this session is keeping your child healthy and fit for school, with an opportunity for you to raise individual queries or questions after the information has been given. 

This initiative reflects our commitment to working closely with families and professionals to ensure every child has the best possible start in life. By hosting these sessions in school, we aim to make expert advice more convenient and approachable for parents, strengthening the link between home, school, and health services.

We look forward to welcoming families to these sessions and believe they will be an invaluable resource for our community.

We are excited to host our Reading Café, a special event where pupils can share the joy of reading with their parents. Children will have the opportunity to sit with their families, enjoy a book together, and celebrate the importance of reading for pleasure.

To make the occasion even more enjoyable, refreshments will be provided for parents, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The Reading Café is designed to encourage a love of books, strengthen home–school links, and highlight how reading together builds confidence and enthusiasm for learning.

We are delighted to announce that our Powershot Fundraiser is running again this year. Pupils will take part in the exciting challenge of kicking footballs at the fastest speeds, measured with special speed‑tracking equipment, with prizes for fundraising!

This popular event combines fun, fitness, and fundraising, giving children the chance to test their skills while raising money to support school projects and resources. Pupils love the competitive spirit of seeing how powerful their shots are, and the event always brings great energy and enthusiasm across the school.

This week, pupils in Year 3 to Year 6 will be taking part in Personalised Assessments, in line with Welsh Government requirements. These online assessments are designed to support learning by identifying each child’s strengths and areas for development in literacy and numeracy.

The personalised nature of the assessments means that questions adapt to each pupil’s responses, providing a more accurate picture of their current attainment. Results are used by teachers to inform planning, track progress, and ensure that every child receives the right level of support and challenge.

The assessments are not formal tests but part of ongoing learning, helping pupils to reflect on their progress and build confidence in their skills.
