World of Work Week- 18.05.26 - 22.05.26

Following the success of last year’s World of Work Week, we are delighted to be running the event again this year. The aim is to inspire our pupils and raise their aspirations for the future by providing them with a wide range of experiences linked to different careers.

This event has been so successful in the past thanks to the support of parents, carers, and members of our wider community, who have generously given their time to visit the school and share insights into their professions.

In previous years, we have welcomed a variety of professionals, including those from the medical field, emergency services, armed forces, construction trades (such as builders, electricians and plumbers), as well as careers in digital security, ICT, farming, hairdressing, dog grooming, and many more.

If you would be willing to come in to talk about your role, business, or career path, or if you know of any local businesses or organisations that could support us by speaking to the children, please do get in touch. We would be happy to arrange a suitable date.

Many thanks for your continued support.

Dear Parents/Carers, Just a polite notice that our Reception class has now moved location and are utilising the old Community Room. We would be grateful if parents could refrain from entering the school via the fire door underneath the walkway, or utilising the old disabled toilet outside the old Community Room, as this is now solely for Reception use. Thank you in advance for your support in keeping the children safe.

Please find attached information about a range of free courses starting soon in and around Merthyr, which you may be interested in attending. Booking links for each course are also included.

Great news... Fruit‑tastic Friday is making a return this week! The Wellbeing Warriors have listened to the pupils’ feedback, and we’re celebrating the post‑Easter return with colourful fruit kebabs featuring a wider range of fruits, including strawberries and watermelon. If your child has any fruit allergies and plans to buy one, pop me a quick message so I can prepare a safe option for them. Diolch, Miss Williams & The Wellbeing Warriors

No Outsiders Day is a joyful celebration of inclusion, belonging, and the belief that everyone has a place in our community. Throughout the day, pupils and staff come together to explore what it truly means to live in a world where differences are welcomed, respected, and valued.

The event features a range of activities designed to spark conversation and build understanding—story sessions, creative workshops, collaborative projects, and reflective discussions that highlight themes such as kindness, respect, identity, and empathy. Each activity encourages pupils to think about how they can help create a school where no one feels left out and everyone feels safe to be themselves.

No Outsiders Day isn’t just about learning; it’s about living our values. It’s a chance for our whole school to celebrate diversity, challenge stereotypes, and strengthen the sense of community that makes our environment so special. By the end of the day, pupils leave with a deeper understanding of how their actions can make a positive difference and how they can help ensure that, in our school, there truly are no outsiders.

Year 6 will take part in an exciting LEGO STEM workshop where creativity and problem‑solving will come together. Pupils will work in teams to design, build, and test their own LEGO models, exploring key STEM ideas such as engineering, forces, and simple programming. The session will encourage collaboration, resilience, and innovative thinking, giving pupils a hands‑on taste of how STEM skills can be used in real‑world challenges. It will be a brilliant blend of learning and fun, with plenty of proud smiles by the end.

Year 2 will take part in a fun bowls taster session that will introduce them to the skills and teamwork involved in the sport. Pupils will learn how to roll the bowls with control, aim for the jack, and work together to improve their technique. The session will give them a chance to try something new, build confidence, and enjoy a friendly, active experience. It will be an exciting opportunity for pupils to discover a sport they may not have tried before.

Pupils in Nursery to Year 2 will receive a fluoride varnish application as part of our ongoing commitment to promoting good oral health. Trained dental professionals will apply a small amount of protective fluoride varnish to each child’s teeth, helping to strengthen enamel and reduce the risk of tooth decay. The process will be quick, safe, and child‑friendly, ensuring pupils feel comfortable throughout. This preventative treatment will support healthy smiles and reinforce the importance of looking after their teeth from an early age.
