As part of this year’s International Dylan Thomas Day, which is celebrated on 14 May each year, DylanED is inviting 8-11 year olds across Wales to take part in a very special competition.

The competition, which is entitled ‘My Favourite Dream’ is based around Dylan Thomas’ story A Visit to Grandpa’s.

Following in the footsteps of Swansea’s foremost writer and storyteller, the competition will look for children aged 8-11 to submit a short story (100 words), poem or picture of their own favourite dream.

Dear parents and carers,

We have now received further guidance from the local authority. The following plans are now being put in place.

From tomorrow (20.03.20) all schools will close to most of their pupils. On Monday, all schools will open to provide care / recreation / learning for children of essential workers. 

This is the local authority list of essential workers

• health workers – all those employed within the NHS
• blue light / emergency service officers
• social care workers, those working in care homes, providing domiciliary care within the home setting, social workers.
• supermarket delivery drivers
• prison officers and other prison staff
• probation service staff
• school staff

Please contact the school if you are a worker within these essential services for our community. Any queries, please contact school and we will try and help as much as we can.

Food will be provided for all our free school meal pupils. Arrangements about collecting / delivering this food will follow shortly.

I am sure that you will agree that the local authority has worked extremely hard at putting these measures in place and we are extremely grateful for everything that they are doing for our families at this very difficult time.

 

Can I please thank you all again for your help and support!!
