SUN PROTECTION

Finally the sun has got it's hat on!

Please help us to help you to protect your children from the sun.

• Please apply suncream to your child before school
• If possible use an ALL DAY sun cream
• If your child's suncream needs to be re-applied please bring it to school clearly labelled with your child's name 
• Your child will be encouraged to re-apply his/her suncream and staff can help with your consent.
• For foundation Phase children please sign consent for staff to help your child re-apply suncream
• Please provide a sun hat or cap clearly labelled with your child's name to stay in school
• We cannot apply suncream that is not labelled with your child's name due to possible reactions and allergies.
• We cannot apply suncream without your consent
• A letter with a consent slip will be sent home 

We are an outdoor learning school! We make the most of our beautiful grounds and learn outside every day so please help us by following the above points.

Thank you for your cooperation

Dear Parents/Guardians 

As a Council, we recognise this is an anxious time for our communities with the continuing of restrictions on daily life and increasing rates of Covid-19 again throughout RCT. We are respectfully asking and reminding parents/guardians to help minimise the transmission of coronavirus at every opportunity, including by continuing to observe social distancing outside school grounds and by wearing a face mask if possible, in line with the Council’s advice to residents issued on Thursday, Sept 10th. 

Whilst we do recognise that it is important that children are able to socialise responsibly and outdoor activity is vital for their wellbeing, we are urging all parents and guardians to please be mindful of where your children are, who they are with and what they are doing when outside of school, particularly in evenings and on weekends.  Restricting the number of social contacts, maintaining social distancing and promoting effective hygiene are essential to reducing the risk of transmission.  

You will be aware that there has been a significant increase in positive cases across Wales and Rhondda Cynon Taf over recent weeks and each and every one of us needs to play our part in minimising the spread of coronavirus in our communities. Please take extra care and stay safe.

Annwyl Rieni/Gwarcheidwaid 

Fel Cyngor, rydyn ni'n cydnabod ei bod hi'n gyfnod pryderus i'n cymunedau wrth i'r cyfyngiadau ar fywyd bob dydd barhau a nifer yr achosion o Covid-19 godi eto ledled RhCT. Rydyn ni'n gofyn yn gwrtais i rieni/gwarcheidwaid a'u hatgoffa i gyfrannu at leihau trosglwyddo'r Coronafeirws ar bob cyfle, gan gynnwys parhau i gynnal pellter cymdeithasol tu allan i dir yr ysgol a thrwy wisgo gorchudd wyneb os yw'n bosibl, yn unol â chyngor y Cyngor i drigolion, a rannwyd ddydd Iau 10 Medi. 

Er ein bod ni'n cydnabod ei bod hi'n bwysig bod modd i blant gymdeithasu'n gyfrifol a bod gweithgareddau yn yr awyr agored yn hanfodol i'w llesiant, rydyn ni'n annog pob rhiant a gwarcheidwad i fod yn effro i le mae eu plant, cwmni eu plant, a'r hyn mae'u plant yn ei wneud tu allan i'r ysgol, yn enwedig yn ystod y nosweithiau a'r penwythnosau. Mae lleihau eich cysylltiadau cymdeithasol, cynnal pellter cymdeithasol a hyrwyddo hylendid effeithiol yn hanfodol ar gyfer lleihau'r risg o drosglwyddo'r feirws.  

Byddwch chi'n effro i'r ffaith bod cynnydd sylweddol yn nifer yr achosion positif ledled Cymru a Rhondda Cynon Taf yn ystod yr wythnosau diwethaf, ac mae angen i bob un ohonom ni chwarae ei ran wrth leihau lledaenu'r Coronafeirws yn ein cymunedau. Cymerwch ofal, a chadwch yn ddiogel.
