Iftar Meal

Thank you to everyone who joined our Muslim families during Ramadan to share an Iftar meal.

It was lovely to come together, share food, and spend time with one another. We appreciate you being part of it.

Friends of Lliswerry (FOL)

Thank you for all the chocolate donations last Friday when we held a non-uniform day.  

Today, the FOL tombola took place on the front yard.  This was a huge success which has helped to raise funds for our school.  Thank you for your continued support with all events.  

Also, thank you for the entries for the colouring competiton. The winners were annnouned this morning and all winners have recieved an Easter egg and certificate.

Wet Area Refurbishment

Over the past few weeks, the wet areas outside our Year 3,4,5 and 6 classrooms have begun to be transformed into calm spaces that will support children's wellbeing and help to ensure they are ready to learn.  Over the Easter holidays the new flooring is being fitted and sofas will be added to provide the children with a safe place to relax and regulate.

Celebrating Achievements

We have recently reviewed how the children's achievements are celebrated and have a variety of ways in which we do this at Lliswerry Primary School.

• Celebration Assembly - Certificates are rewarded to one child in each class every week for their behaviour, effort, learning journey 

• ‘Hot chocolate Friday’ with Mrs Pegington - One child from each class is chosen weekly for going ‘Above and Beyond’ 

• Presentation Parade - one child per class is chosen to share their learning during Celebration Assembly on a Friday

• Positive verbal praise with a smile - positive words shared with children ‘in the moment’ 

• Teacher stickers - used for immediate praise/reward 

• Praise and reward with Senior Leaders and other staff to ‘show off’ learning

• Class Recognition Boards - A whole class based reward system resulting in a small reward being given. 

After the Easter break we are beginning one further way of celebrating positive achievements with parents. Keep on eye on your post box!

PACT Sessions (Parent and Children Together)

Thank you so much for attending our Year 4 PACT session. It was great to see so many of you there and we really hope it helped you gain a better understanding of how maths is taught in Lliswerry. We loved seeing you all engaging positively with the games and ideas and hope you feel confident to take these away to try at home. 

Year 1 loved sharing their learning with their grown ups during our PACT session. We loved having so many of you there. The children enjoyed sharing the games with you all and it was great to see so many parents join in with snakes and ladders so competitively!

Thank you to all of the parents who attended the Year 5 PACT session on Tuesday. It was so lovely to see so many of you attend and get to share learning with your children. As suggested, we will ensure that we provide biscuits next time!
