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 Trelewis 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 curriculum page.

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!

Trelewis Primary School is proud to be taking part in UK Parliament Week from Monday 24th to Friday 28th November, a nationwide celebration that helps pupils explore democracy, civic responsibility, and the power of their voice.

Throughout the week, pupils will engage in a variety of fun and thought-provoking activities designed to deepen their understanding of how Parliament works and why it matters.

🗳️ What’s Happening:

• 🏛️ Interactive Lessons about the role of MPs, laws, and how decisions are made

• 🎤 Debates and Discussions to encourage respectful dialogue and critical thinking

• 🎨 Creative Projects like campaign posters, manifestos, and speech writing

• 🧠 Quizzes and Challenges to test knowledge and spark curiosity

• 🗣️ Ask the MP a visit from Gerald Jones MP for Merthyr Tydfil to ask questions about his role.

UK Parliament Week is a fantastic opportunity to empower our pupils with the knowledge that their voices count. By learning about democracy in an engaging and meaningful way, we aim to inspire active, thoughtful citizens of the future.

Trelewis Primary School is excited to host our festive Christmas Enterprise Sale on Wednesday 26th November, a joyful celebration of creativity, teamwork, and entrepreneurial spirit!

Throughout the term, pupils have been busy designing, crafting, and preparing a wonderful range of handmade items, all ready to be showcased and sold at this special event. From glittering decorations to thoughtful gifts, every item has been made with care and imagination.

🛍️ What to Expect:

• 🎨 Unique, pupil-made Christmas crafts and gifts

• 🍪 Seasonal treats and goodies

• 💡 A chance to support young enterprise and creativity

• 🎶 Festive music and cheer to get everyone in the holiday spirit

Parents, carers, and family members are warmly invited to come along, browse the stalls, and support our young entrepreneurs. All proceeds will go towards school projects and activities chosen by the pupils.

Let’s kick off the festive season with sparkle, smiles, and a celebration of our pupils’ hard work and creativity! 

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)
