TEAMS 4U - SHOEBOX DONATION

20.10.15
Dear Parents

The charity Teams4U is very close to our hearts here at Corn Hir School, therefore we intend supporting this appeal again this year. It is also a great opportunity to show good will during the Christmas period.

In order to reduce the cost, since £2 is expected to be enclosed, we have suggested that the children may create a box with friends and share the cost.

We ask that the boxes reach us on Monday, 23rd November.

Thank you for your support.

Yours faithfully,
Rhys Roberts
Headteacher in Charge

INDUSTRIAL ACTION ON 10.07.14

We have received notice that members of NUT Cymru & Unison intend to take industrial action by withholding their labour on Thursday, 10 July 2014, for one day. Six out of the nine teachers at Ysgol Corn Hir are members of the NUT and the majority of the support staff are members of Unison, and they intend to support their Unions strike action.

As a result I will be taking the necessary steps to close the school on that day for all classes apart from Year 2, for reasons relating to health and organisational matters should the school remain open. The Year 2 trip will still take place on that day.

I apologise in advance for the inconvenience this action will undoubtedly cause.

Yours faithfully

VISIT TO THE PENHESGYN HOUSEHOLD WASTE RECYCLING CENTRE
Following an invitation from the Waste Management Department at Anglesey County Council the Eco Group went to visit the Household Waste Recycling Centre at Penhesgyn, near Menai Bridge. The Manager, Malcolm Williams, and the staff of the Waste Management department showed various items/ materials that could be recycled, including engine oil, paint, electric light bulbs and other such items. The pupils had an opportunity to go around the site to see the variety of items the public had brought to recycle.

They also learnt about the food waste and garden waste journey to create a type of concentrated compost, soil improver, which is given away, free of charge, to the Islands gardeners.

	PLANTING DAFFODILS Recently the Eco group have been busy planting daffodil bulbs along the boundary fence at the front of the School, with the help of Mrs Nia P Williams, Year 1 classroom assistant. The Group were keen to bring a little colour to the grass area in front of the Headteachers office so they arranged a session after School to plant the bulbs.
