Unfortunately we have had to close our Infant Department this week. This is due to a serious leak in the central heating system in school, needing excavation work in one corner of the Infant Hall. The work combined with the cold weather has meant that the Infant School has had to be closed.

The effect of this is that the planned visit by Oakdale Silver Band and our Christmas Fair have been postponed - the new date for your Diary is Thursday 7th December, letters should have come home with your child today with this news.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope to see you all on Thursday of next week.

Dates for your Christmas Diary ( Part 1)

As we head towards December 1st on Friday the build up to Christmas is about to begin. First news that on Wednesday afternoon after school the 'Friends of Cefn Fforest'  committee have a meeting and would welcome any parent ( or grandparent for that matter) who is willing to help out at events not only over Christmas but throughout the Year. ( The Friends are currently organising the Christmas Fayre and Raffle, along with a Christmas Disco which will take place before the end of term ( date to follow).

On Friday 1st December we will once again welcome the Oakdale Silver Band who will be playing Christmas Carols on the Infant Playground from around 3pm until the Christmas Fayre ( in the Infant Hall) begins at around 3.40pm. All parents, brothers, sisters, friends and relatives are welcome to join the staff and pupils of the school as we welcome in the Festive Season with some traditional singing.

Why not make an afternoon of it by moving from the yard into the Infant Hall for the Annual Christmas Fayre, where there will be stalls, fun and games for a further hour after school.

What a Brilliant Way to start CHRISTMAS 2006

** On Tuesday 5th December our Year 3 pupils will be walking down the Blackwood Miners Institute after lunch to watch an afternoon performance of The Snowman ( This sounds like another wonderful opportunity for our children)- hter will be a nominal fee of £1 for the performance. ** letters will be out to Year 3 pupils on Wednesday 29th November**

The next Diary Dates will give you dates and times for school performances, concerts, disco and parties.... so keep watching.
