Thank you all!

Thank you all so much for attending our Coffee Afternoon yesterday and for the effort you all put into making such fabulous bonnets! I am sure you will agree that the children performed beautifully.

Thanks to all the staff who helped organise the event, to Martha's Mum for making such delicious cakes and Oliver's Mum for selling raffle tickets. We have raised over £100 which will be used to enhance our outdoor area.

If you would like to order an Easter class photograph go to the school foyer to place your order and pay by Friday.

Our patchwork, which was on display in the hall, is another big success and a good example of everyone working together!

The holidays are almost upon us and I'm sure everybody is ready for a good rest! When we get back to school on Tuesday 13th April we will be studying a mini topic on Africa for two weeks, so if you come across anything which will be useful please bring to school!

Enjoy the holiday and all the chocolate eggs!

Newport Wetlands!

We had a great time at Newport Wetlands today. We all took part in bird watching, pond dipping and a minibeast hunt, luckily the rain held off until lunchtime. The whole class were very well behaved and a credit to Maesybryn.

Thankyou to everyone who came along to the Easter Fair yesterday!

Don't forget to bring your Easter Bonnets to school on Monday and Mums and Dads come along to our Coffee Afternoon at 3pm on Wednesday!

We look forward to seeing you there!

Happy Mother's Day

Class 10 wish all our Mum's a very happy Mother's Day! We've been busy putting the finishing touches to our cards and gifts this week. All the children are very proud of their efforts and can't wait to give you their special presents on Sunday.

We've already started working on our Easter songs and poems ready for our Coffee afternoon on Wednesday 24th March at 3.00pm. You are all welcome to join us for a little performance and an Easter bonnet parade. We will be selling refreshments, including cakes baked by the children along with raffle tickets and hope to raise some money for our Outdoor Area with a view to having some safety flooring installed. We look forward to seeing you all there!

Don't forget to work on our Home/School Task. I can't wait to see your Easter bonnets when you bring them to school on Monday 22nd March. Some children will be going to the local Older People's Residential Home to show their bonnets and sing a song.

You have probably noticed some of the changes already made to our Outdoor Area. The children are really enjoying all the new experiences, particularly the Pizza Parlour which is located in our new shed. We hope to continue developing the space over the coming months.

Enjoy the sunshine!

Dydd Gwyl Dewi hapus!

We have had a lovely week in school. Our Eisteddfod on Monday was a great success. Well done Corey and Maryel who won the Song and Poem competitions for Reception. The chairing ceremony took place today. We enjoyed singing a medley of welsh songs and watching some welsh folk dancing.

As you have probably noticed we are working hard to develop our outdoor area. We now have a welly store so you can send wellies into school for us to use throughout the term. The purchase of wet weather suits for the children means we can now be outside even in the rain and snow! It's great for splashing in puddles and squelching in mud!

Don't forget to collect your sponsorship money for the NSPCC and return it to school in the envelope provided by Wednesday 10th March. We were all outside this afternoon participating in lots of fun activities with beanbags, skipping ropes and scoops and balls. We had great fun and all the children scored 100 points for their sponsored activity. Bendigedig!

Enjoy the weekend!
