School Photographs
Colorfoto will be in school on Monday 25th and Tuesday 26th of September to take photos of the children. These will include individual photos, sibling photos and class photos. All children should be in full school uniform including black shoes on these days.
Choose Kindness
In this week’s whole school assembly, we introduced this term’s Jigsaw theme of ‘Being Me in My World’.
We talked about how we can choose to show kindness to others and to our world.
We used the shaving foam activity to model how shaving foam can’t be put back into the can, in the same way our unkind words can’t be unsaid once we’ve said them.
It’s important that we choose our words and our actions wisely. Please reinforce and model this at home.
School Council
On Thursday we held our school council elections. The candidates prepared short speeches at home which they presented to their peers with any supporting materials (posters/badges etc). We are pleased to announce that the new representatives for the school council are:
Dosbarth Melyn: Jouson, Halle-Jo and Leo
Dosbarth Gwyrdd: Kara, Amelia M and Millie
Dosbarth Glas: Thea, Joey and Jack W
Dosbarth Porffor: Alex, Jerzey and Isabella
Dosbarth Enfys: Oliver, Tia and Lily
St Fagans – Gwyrdd & Glas
Dosbarth Gwyrdd and Dosbarth Glas enjoyed a very wet day at St Fagans!

Attendance Matters
The United Nation Article 28 states ‘every child has the right to have a primary education’. We are linking our attendance performance to this article.
We want our children to have the best possible education to give them the best chance in life. If your children aren’t in school we can’t give them this opportunity and can’t give them the opportunity to ‘be the best they can be.’
School target: 92%
Annual % to date: 95%

Online Safety – Gaming Ground Rules
Almost half (46%) of 8- to 11-year-olds in the UK play online video games with people that they don’t necessarily know. While 55% of parents of young gamers worry that their child might be pressured into making expensive ingame purchases . Most children find gaming immensely enjoyable, but its volume of potential risks – and capacity to influence behaviour – often make it problematic for parents.
