Guitar Lessons…Mr Huw Chidgey will be offering guitar lessons from September for children in years 5 and 6. Lessons will last 15 minutes and take place on a Thursday. Children will need their own guitars. Six places available. More information from Huw on 01685 886855.
Foundation Phase Reading Books…please can all infant reading books be returned to school on Monday to enable staff to carry out an audit.
News from the Friends… We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who came along to the fete last Saturday. We had a successful and for the most part dry day. Thanks especially to those who helped with stalls, setting up and packing away. Also, thank you to all the local businesses and families who donated items. The great news is that we raised £1148 for the benefit of the children. The friends have also managed to secure additional funding of £1400 for ‘Space 2 Grow’ from Environment Wales. This is part of our 3 year project to improve the school grounds.
Finally, the Green Man festival has offered the Friends a stall at this year’s festival. The stall will offer an interactive animation experience for families. We will need volunteers to man this stall - tickets are limited. If you are interested contact Gareth Axford or Heidi Purnell before the end of term.

The Shard and the Thames

On the way back from the theatre we were lucky to see the Shard, just opened today, in its night time glory!

The Shard - opening today!

Olympic London

On the Thames

London Day One

All is well following the first day and night of our London adventure! The children slept well and have been having a fantastic time. Highlights so far have been the Launchpad at the Science Museum, climbing to the top of the dome of St Paul's and Mrs Oreshko's bingo-calling skills as part of our evening entertainments!

On the steps of St Paul's....



Playing a 'free piano' in Paternoster Square....


Experimenting in the Launchpad...


We will try to add photographs as we can but we are relying on the internet connection of mobile phones which is not always great (even in London!) We will do our best!
