Ysgol Tir Morfa - Newsletter Friday 21st March 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

Lots of exciting activities have been going on today at Ysgol Tir Morfa to support Red Nose Day. Lots of the pupils and staff have dressed up in red. Dosbarth Enfys have had lots of Comic Relief messy play – I heard that spaghetti hoops and beans were being used to mark make on staff faces!

Please remember to join us for our ‘Friends of Ysgol Tir Morfa’ coffee morning at Brews on Tuesday 25th March at 9.30am - we really need your help with ideas for fundraising events!

Have a lovely weekend.

Kind regards,

Susan H. Roberts

Headteacher

Push 1 to report a pupil absence - this will allow you to leave a message to let us know your child will be absent. Please state your childs name and a reason for the absence on your message. However, if you would prefer to speak to a member of the admin team about your child's absence then.....

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