🔢 The Number Hub

On Friday 9th October at 9:00am in our School Hall, Miss Williams, who is leading Mathematics and Numeracy across our Taff Bargoed Partnership will be running our Number Hub information session for parents and carers of Nursery and D. Melyn children.

The aim of the session is to share a range of fun, practical games and activities that you can use at home to support your child’s mathematics and numeracy development. These activities will complement and build upon the work we do in school.

Mathematics and Numeracy are a key school development priority this academic year, and we are really keen to develop a strong partnership with families to support our children’s learning and progress at home.

We also hope that the session will help to take away some of the worry or stigma around Maths for adults and show that supporting your child’s mathematical development can be enjoyable, relaxed and easy to incorporate into everyday life.

The session will be very informal and relaxed, with no pressure at all. Once Miss Williams has introduced the activities, you will have the opportunity to explore and try them out at your own leisure.

You will also receive an information sheet to take home with ideas and activities to continue using with your child.

This session is specifically for parents and carers, so we kindly ask that children do not attend. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing some helpful information with you.

We would love to see as many of you as possible! 💚🔢

📚 Weekly Attendance Update 📚

Thank you to all our pupils and families for your continued support with school attendance this week. 

📊 This Week’s Attendance: 93.41%

Everyday counts, and together we can make a difference! 💪📚✨

Celebration Assembly

This week’s Celebration Assembly was a particularly special one, as it was the first assembly led by our newly elected First Ministers! Having been voted for by their peers last week, they took on the responsibility of planning and running the assembly, demonstrating fantastic leadership, confidence and enthusiasm throughout.

We celebrated pupils who have gone above and beyond—whether through hard work, positive attitudes, resilience or fantastic progress. Their achievements truly brighten our school community, and we are incredibly proud of each and every one of them!
