Hi,
Just a couple of notices.
The Easter fayre is being held on Wednesday 30th March straight after school. The children can come in non school uniform but can they please bring a mothers day gift as a forfeit.
We've had a couple of items of clothing getting muddled up on PE days recently and jumpers going missing. Can you please make sure your child's name is on all their clothes to make it easier for us to ensure that they bring their own things home.
It was great to see everyone last week at the parent/teacher meetings.
I hope you all enjoy the long weekend. See you Tuesday.

Class 11 have had a lovely couple of weeks and we've been making the most of this nice weather we've been having. The children have enjoyed working and playing outside, especially in the pirate ship!
The children have worked hard to prepare our planting beds. They had to pull out all the weeds and turn the soil ready to plant our seeds. We're hoping to have some delicious carrots and lettuce by the summer!
Sophie's mum kindly bought us in some frogspawn which the children have been watching very carefully. We now have lots of tadpoles and if you look through a magnifying glass you can see their legs are growing. We can't wait for them to turn into frogs!
The childen learnt a lot about christenings last week during our school RE week and particularly enjoyed the trip to church to take part in our own chrstening. Rev. Parkinson taught us lots about christenings and Tia and Charlie made excellent Godparents to Ava Ruby! The children also wrote invitations, made christening cards and stained glass windows.
Enjoy your weekend and I look forward to seeing you all next week for teacher/parents meetings.

I just wanted to say a big WELL DONE to all of class 11, who did such a fantastic job in the Eisteddfod on Friday. They listened really well to all the different songs and poems that were performed by the rest of the school. They were all very brave standing on the stage to sing 'Hicori Dicori Doc' and to recite 'Dyma Mami' especially the children who did it all by themselves!

Thank you also for the brilliant welsh souvenirs that the children made. They enjoyed showing these to the class and explaining how they made them. They are now on display around the school for everyone to admire!

This week we are going to be learning about christenings. If your child has any photos, cards etc. of their christening or a christening they have been to we would love to see them.

Many thanks,
Mrs. Morris

Hello,

Well, it's the end of another busy half term and I know the children are looking forward to a well deserved break. We've had a lovely couple of weeks and have enjoyed reading the book 'Where's my teddy?' which is full of rhyming words! The children were very clever, trying to think of their own.

Our toy shop has been very popular and the children have enjoyed being the shop keeper, writing tags and selling the toys to the customers. We've been trying to find the right coins to pay for the toys.

In preparation for the Eisteddfod next half term we've been learning a welsh song and poem which I'm sure your child would love to sing to you for a bit of extra practise!

I hope you all have a lovely half term and enjoy making your welsh souvenirs.

See you soon,
Mrs Morris

Hello,

The children have settled back into school well this term and we've had great fun beginning our topic 'Toys and Bears'. We've been reading the book 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' which the children have loved. We've turned our role play area into a bear cave and the children have been having fun dressing up as the bear or searching for him using their torches and binoculars! They have made puppets and have been very clever retelling the story. We even went on a bear hunt this week and got very messy following a map through the forest, the river and lots of mud until we discovered a bear hiding in the cave! The children wrote about their adventures when we returned.

We have also been looking at new and old bears. We have been looking at the similarities and differences and drawing pictures of the bears. Thank you for any bears that have been sent in.

The children have been very clever and have started to learn some of the names of 3D shapes. They enjoyed painting with them, finding out which ones they could roll and which ones they couldn't.

I'm very pleased with how well the children are doing with their reading folders. Please remember to return these on your child's reading day and also their bag by Thursday so that we can send home any work. Also please remember to send your child's P.E. kit on a Monday.

Many thanks,
Mrs Morris

Merry Christmas!

What an end to the term! I can't believe how much snow we've had today. I hope you are all enjoying yourselves, building snowmen and throwing snowballs! Have fun!

We've had a lovely last couple of weeks of term and I'm sure you'll all agree that the children did brilliantly in their concert. We are very proud of them all. Thank you again parents for the costumes you sent in and for helping your children with their words.

Another big thank you for all our lovely Christmas presents. It was really kind of you.

What a shame we didn't see all of you this week, but I hope those of you that have been off poorly are feeling much better now.

Finally, but most importantly, have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR! We look forward to seeing you all in January.

Well, what a busy couple of weeks we've been having in Reception! The children have been working really hard on their Christmas concert. I'm sure Mums and Dads can't wait to watch it! Thank you for all the costumes we've had in so far, we're looking forward to trying them out tomorrow!

We're starting to feel very Christmassy now, especially with all this snow! Thank you for the empty jars that have been sent in which the children have decorated and turned into Christmas tea light holders. They have also been busy making Christmas cards, hats, tree decorations and writing letters to Father Christmas. Our classroom is looking lovely!

I looking forward to seeing you all at the concert next week.
