Cakes and Shopping | Cacennau a Siopa

November. It's getting colder, and the nights are drawing in. Could there be a better time to think about cakes and Christmas shopping? 

This Friday it's the turn of classes 5C, 2C, 2E and Meithrin (morning) to stock our Cake stall. We have raised the price of a cake to 25p due to the rising costs of the items we buy for the school with the profits. We hope you'll agree that they're still a bargain!

And so to shopping...On Wednesday, November 26 we will be holding a Christmas Shopping evening in Taffs Well Village Hall, between 6.30 and 8.30pm. This will be an opportunity to buy from local crafts people and businesses, as well as national names such as Chocoholics and the Book People. We'll have a Christmas Cafe, with a mince pie and drink included in your ticket price. Tickets £2 in advance, £2.50 on the door (to buy from PTA members, or phone Beth Spear on 07971425668


Tachwedd. Mae'n oeri, a'r nosweithiau'n tywyllu. Amser da felly i feddwl am gacennau a noson siopa Nadoligaidd!

Dydd Gwener yma fydd tro 5C, 2C, 2E a Meithrin (bore) i ddod a chacennau i'r ysgol. Cofiwch arian hefyd. Bydd y cacennau'n costio 25c. Ry'n ni wedi codi 20c ers blynyddoedd ond yn teimlo bod angen inni gynyddu'r pris eleni (gan fod prisiau'r pethe ry'n ni'n eu prynu i'r ysgol wedi codi). Gobeithio'ch bod chi'n cytuno bo nhw'n fargen o hyd!

Yn olaf, plis dewch yn llu i gefnogi ein Noson Siopa Nadoligaidd ar Dachwedd  26. Cynhelir y noson yn Neuadd y Pentref, Ffynnon Taf, o 6.30 tan 8.30pm. Bydd yna stondinau lu gan grefftwyr a busnesau lleol a chenedlaethol. Cyfle i brynu ambell i anrheg Nadolig, mwynhau mins pei a diod a sgwrsio gyda rhieni eraill o'r ysgol. Cost y tocynnau yw £2 ymlaen llaw, neu £2.50 ar y noson. Cewch  docyn wrth aelodau'r CRhA, neu ffoniwch Beth Spear ar 07971425668.

Many thanks to the parents and teachers who attended the PTA AGM on Tuesday evening. Unfortunately we are short of two key PTA Committee positions. At present we have no Chair or Secretary. Without people in these roles, we cannot function as a PTA, and will not be able to organise fundraising events such as the Christmas and Summer Fayres, Cake Stalls, Quiz night etc. The money from these events over the past two years has funded the school’s iPad sets, the new traversing wall soon to be erected in the yard, and many smaller things such as the children’s Christmas disco, and the circus skills workshop.

Several members of last year’s committee have been re-elected, but we need at least two new parents /guardians to join this year in order to run the PTA. The roles could be shared (eg two joint chairs, which has been the pattern for the last few years). So we’re asking for anyone interested to please contact us ASAP on our email (below), or have a chat with Beth Spear (mam to Lily – 1C) or Sally (mam to Carys – 2C and Rhian 4C) on the yard. We are very fortunate in Gwaelod-y-Garth that so many parents, grandparents and guardians help out at all our events, which makes the committee’s work much easier. We do however need to fill these important rolesbefore the next PTA meeting on October 7 in order to prevent the PTA from collapsing.

Thanks to everyone for all their hard work this term.
The AGM will be on sept 16 at 19.30 in the school
Enjoy the summer
