Parentmail 12.1.24
Dear Parents/Carers,
It’s been a very cold return to school this week, but at least no rain! Thank you for wrapping your children up nice and warm for when they are outside. It looks like cold weather is predicted again next week.
INSET Days
Next Friday (19th January) is an Inset Day. We have also added Monday 3rd June and Monday 22nd July as Inset Days.
After-school clubs
After-school clubs re-start next week, except for Netball, which starts the following week on the 26th January because of next Friday’s Inset Day. We will shortly be starting an additional Chess Club for Years 3 and 4 for Intermediate players. Letters will be sent out next week about this.
School Snacks
As part of our Healthy Schools initiative, we are reminding all children that their break time snacks should be a healthy piece of fruit or vegetable, and drinks bottles should only contain water. Thank you for your co-operation.
School Nursing Service and Child Measurement Programme
The School Nursing Service have asked us to share a letter with you, introducing themselves and their screening visits to school, and with details of a surveillance programme by NHS Wales, measuring the height and weight of all children in Reception classes throughout the country. There is an additional document and a flyer with more details about the surveillance programme. All are attached to this Parentmail.
FINAL walk-in flu vaccination clinic details
Also attached are details of walk-in clinics in the Cardiff & Vale area, for children who missed their flu vaccination at school.
Local Authority Consultation
Attached is a letter from the Local Authority about the expansion of Specialist Resource Bases across Cardiff. Lakeside is included in the consultation as they are changing the name of our Local Authority Wellbeing Class to a Specialist Resource Base for Emotional Health and Wellbeing.
Lost Property
There are many photos of recent lost property on the school web site. Please contact the school if you recognise anything, and please can we remind parents/carers to label clothes and any other items with their child’s name. Thank you very much.

Wishing you a pleasant weekend.
