PDG Grant 2017-18

We are in receipt of a Pupil Deprivation Grant of £16,100 from Welsh Government. This grant is used to help provide additional literacy and numeracy support to pupils through targeted interventions such as Springboard Maths and Rapid Writing. It is also used to increase access to sporting activities and access to digital learning.

Parent Pay information

As you are aware Powys County Council are introducing Parent Pay.  This means that your children will not longer be required to bring dinner money in to school and it can all be managed online.

Below are some links for your information about how to set up and manage the new system.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact the school office on the following email address:

21st November -25th November Dosbarth Tryfan

Parents evenings will be taking place this week.  Please check with your child the time that you have been allocated.  If you cannot make the appointment, please get in touch with the school office and we can reschedule the time.

During this week, we will be continuing our work on persuasive writing.  We will be encouraging the children to use the ‘Big Write’ wall to help inspire their writing.  Hopefully you will hear more persuasive language being used at home.  The children have worked very hard on this so far and did some excellent presentations under pressure last week.

In maths we are going to be looking at data handling.  The children are going to be interpreting graphs and data.  They will also identify the difference between discrete and continuous data.

It is important that the children continue to read at home and your support here is greatly appreciated.
