Newsletter Ysgol Deiniol 31st January 2025

Chess Tournament - Thanks to all of our pupils who competed in the chess tournament in school. Out of a starting thirty two pupils we managed to whittle it down to just four with Charlotte and Louie tying in the final. Mr. Perry will hopefully be taking our top 4 and a few others to a local chess tournament in Gresford. We wish them all the very best of luck!

Happiness Heroes - Our group of Happiness Heroes have raised some money in order for them to be able to place a plaque on our bench. The Happiness Heroes are hoping that if a pupil needs someone to chat to, they sit on the bench and one of our Heroes will go across and have a chat with them and see if they can help in any way. Da iawn to such a wonderful group of children!

Cymraeg yn Ysgol Deiniol - One of our priorities at Ysgol Deiniol this year is to encourage pupils to use more Welsh in and around school. Over the last week we have introduced simple phrases to the whole school in order to encourage our pupils and staff to use Welsh independently. So far we have introduced: Bore da - Good morning, P'nawn da - Good afternoon and Ga i..? - Can I ...? Our next phrase that we are introducing is Ble mae'r...? - Where is the...?

My Happy Mind - A reminder that we are still using MyHappyMind in order to support our pupils with strategies to keep a happy and healthy mindset. You can sign up for extra FREE resources here: https://www.learn.myhappymind.org/Customer-Parents-Resources-Activation-Code Using the code 400428. Please download the free app to see what we do in school and to give you strategies on how to help your children.

Easyfundraising - When making purchases online please can you go through the 'easyfundraising' app as a small percentage of the transaction will be sent to the Friends of Deiniol. It doesn't cost you anything at all and most online retailers take part: Amazon, John Lewis, M&S, Tui etc. Just download the app, choose Friends of Deiniol School Yard and then use the app to choose an online store to buy from. It's really simple to use and easy money for the school!

Recycled Clothes - Please keep bagging up and sending in any unwanted clothes to the school. It's really easy money for the Friends of Deiniol which is then sent back into school to help our children.

Dog Blog - Please see our latest blog from Albert. https://ysgol-deiniol-cp.secure-primarysite.net/dog-blog/
