We have received reports from two schools in the area that pupils have been followed to school by a small white transit van, with a couple in it. No other details unfortunately. The Police have been informed.
Techniquest Trip
Rainbow and Bronze classes are visiting Techniquest in Cardiff Bay on Thursday 28th September as part of their Topic on Space. Details to follow.
This means that there will be no Nursery session on 28th of September.
Outdoor Environment
A very big ‘thank you’ to Mrs Eveleigh, Mrs Arnold, Ross John, Carl Burton and Jamie Goddard for the hard work they put into the outside area of Rainbow Class last weekend. We all appreciate this and it has made such a positive difference to this busy part of our school!
Music Tuition
Our music lessons have started this week and the expected timetable is-
Simeon Benavente (Woodwind) Monday
Becky Bradley (Strings) Tuesday
Josh Shankland (Guitar) Thursday
Dave Wheeler (Brass) Friday
Parking
We kindly request that all parents/carers who drop off and collect children from the school refrain from parking on the yellow zigzags and the white grid. The purpose of the zigzags and the grid is to keep the road outside the school clear to allow children to safely cross the road. Thank you in anticipation for your support with this matter.
Rudry Rascals
Struggling to leave work in time to collect your child from school?
Need a couple more hours to yourself in the day?
Does your child want to meet up with and play with friends after school?
Rudry Rascals can help!
We are a not-for-profit organisation providing quality, affordable after school activities for the children of Rhydri Primary School and others living in the area. We can take up to sixteen children each day from 3 years of age and open every school day from 3.30pm – 5.30pm in Rhydri Primary School.
Our friendly staff facilitate a range of fun activities such as art & craft, imaginary play, games, quizzes, dressing-up, sports, stories and ‘chill time’. We also provide a healthy snack and drink to keep them going until tea time!
The club is open to all children in the area however we regret that we are unable to offer any transport to the venue.
The cost for this can be from as little as £27.64 per month (dependant on how many days are required per month). Payment can also be made by Childcare Vouchers.
If you would like to arrange for your child to attend a taster session or for further details please contact Playworks Childcare Ltd. on 029 2080 7187
Friends of Rhydri Primary School
Dear All
Welcome letter from Sarah Wilson, PTA Chair
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome all of you to Friends of Rhydri
Primary (PTA) The purpose of the PTA is to support the Head Teacher, Staff,
Parents and most importantly the pupils (our children.)
Over the years the PTA has been able to contribute significant funds to aid the
school in enhancing the educational environment for the children, along with
providing some of the more “fun” aspects of school life. Circus skills visit, Cinema
nights, school discos, trips to the Panto at Christmas etc.…
In order to be successful, we know that the support and involvement of the parents,
family & carers of our children, the management and staff at Rhydri and members of
the local community is of utmost importance. We encourage each of you to show
your commitment by joining in.
The first way to show your support will be to participate in the numerous events that
we will be planning throughout the year. Your participation might be as a committee
member, volunteer, or merely as an attendee. Whatever level of participation you
prefer, your time and involvement will certainly be appreciated.
We have an email list, which you can be added to if you would like to help/volunteer
at events. This way we can send out details and requests for help to you directly. So,
if you are unable to attend meetings, which we know are difficult with our busy lives,
you can be kept up to date. We also have a Facebook group that you can follow;
Friends of Rhydri Primary, which we hope, will be a valuable source of
communication.

You can show your support in other ways by providing us your comments regarding our PTA efforts or suggestions and ideas for other potential initiatives. To do this,
please feel free to contact us at the email below or in passing.
We are currently organising a diary of events for the coming school year to include,
School discos, Christmas fayre and Concerts, Sports day, Machen show and our
popular Curry and quiz night.
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at our first meeting which is to
be held on Tuesday 12 th September at 7.30pm at the home of myself Sarah
Wilson. The address is The Old Griffin, 2 Cwrt Griffin, Rudry, CF83 3JQ
We look forward to working with you all in 2017-18. Thank you
