Ysgol Tir Morfa - Newsletter Friday 21st february 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

We’ve arrived at the end of what I can only describe as an extremely busy and eventful half term at Ysgol Tir Morfa! I want to thank all the wonderful pupils, staff, governors and families for the warm welcome I’ve been given.

Lots of things have been going on this week including school council meetings at both sites, a Criw Cymraeg meeting to plan for our Wythnos Cymraeg week after half time and Dosbarth Brenig welcomed parents and carers to an afternoon show on Wednesday.

I wish you all an enjoyable half term break and I look forward to welcoming the children back on Monday 3rd March.

Kind regards,

Susan H. Roberts

Headteacher

Our Week at Tir Morfa

Famau enjoyed looking after Ms Forrest's puppy, brushing her coat, feeding her and exercising her. This was part of their Animal Care Module.

Learners from Tryfan independently chair and minute a very productive school council meeting for our students at Grange Road.

We had a special show for our parents and carers. We performed some dances, sang some Welsh songs and introduced our “fruit and veg, pick n’ mix” Our parents loved eating the fruit and veg! We even had a special visitor Mrs Roberts who came to watch the show and meet our parents! We had so much fun!

Aled enjoyed playing lots of number based games with the uno cards this week. Lots of number recognition, counting and matching whilst having fun!

Some messy play fun for our learners in Dosbarth Enfys this week!

This week in Dosbarth Haul, we have enjoyed our attention building sessions. The children have attended really well and enjoyed looking at the bucket toys and making snowflakes! Da iawn pawb!

Pupils from Siabod practising their flower arranging during a team enterprise session.

Tegid had a fantastic time during Opera this week, enjoying the experience and the music!

At Grange road we have held a Criw Cymraeg meeting to plan the Welsh Week happening between 3rd and 7th of March.

Working on our communication, physical skills and pressing the switch to work the disco ball for our friends.

Push 2 to speak to the school office - this will put you through to a member of the admin team.

Push 3 to place an order with Blooms (our school flower and gift shop).
