Ysgol Tir Morfa - Newsletter Friday 17th OCTOBER 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we approach the half term break, the signs of autumn are all around us. This week, the pupils at our Ffordd Derwen site had a wonderful time welcoming Blythe and Mouse from Therapy Dogs Nationwide during their visit on Thursday. We’re delighted that Blythe and Mouse will be returning to visit our Grange Road site on November 6th.

Looking ahead, we have our Harvest Service next week and the much-anticipated Monster Ball to look forward to.

Wishing everyone a happy and restful weekend.

Kind regards,

Susan H. Roberts

Headteacher

Our Week at Tir Morfa
Brenig pupils gave Beebot instructions to travel to the castle to say Shwmae to the dragon this week.
Dosbarth Haul marked ‘Shwmae Day’ by pressing a switch to greet each other and explored Welsh items.
Famau enjoyed trying out the interactive boards on Rhyl promenade.
We enjoyed painting our Shwmae board for “Shwmae” day. We painted it using water colours. We all had a turn to paint part of the board and we really enjoyed it! It is now up on the wall in our classroom so that everyone feels welcome when they visit our classroom. Da iawn Dosbarth Alwen!
Siabod enjoying making Gonks in Blooms for Enterprise.
Dosbarth Enfys celebrated all things Welsh this week as we took part in Shwmae day.
Pupils from Tryfan, Siabod and Findeg enjoyed the Wicked Wales international film festival this afternoon at their new Rhyl Studios.
This week Aled Class have been practising their Welsh for “Shwmae Day” and produced some art work too.
Dosbarth Tegid enjoyed time out in the community this week. The focus was ordering independently and finding their £1 coins to pay! Everyone did so well and thoroughly enjoyed being out and about!
