Bonjour!  We have hit the road running with our new topic "Allez les Champions!"  With the Olympics being held in Paris this year,  our topic offers such a wealth of authentic learning  opportunities. 

 

Authentic learning is key to our curriculum in Llanrhidian, and our new Oriel Cynefin is a perfect example of the pupils being exposed to the "real world!"   Our older pupils will be using their digital skills to develop a web-page based resource to show case the art work which is available to view and purchase during Caffi Cynefin.  

 

Our "New Early Bird Craft Club" is very popular with the pupils.  Staff have planned topic linked crafts to develop their creative and collaborative skills.  For just £30 per half term you can miss the morning traffic and drop your child off for the club.  Click here for more information.  

 

We are very keen to develop our new "Pupil Kitchen" (Yet to have a proper name) and all fundraising will be focused on this over the next term.  If you know of any businesses who can offer a donation, a raffle prize or would like to attend our North Gower Knees Up then please link us up.  Together we can minimise the financial cuts and continue to give our wonderful pupils the curriculum they deserve. 

 

Here are some key reminders:

 

North Gower Knees Up! Bookings are coming in and this promises to be a great night!  Thank you so much for your support.  If you want to sit with your friends, it is easier for one of you to book on behalf of everyone.  Don't worry they can still pay separately.  We can book tables for up to 10 people. If you need to amend a booking - just email us and we can delete your previous one.  We will take the last booking as the one you want so we will not delete until you have re-booked or have informed us to.  This is a new venture for us, so any questions, please email the office.  If this is successful, it could be the start of more fun events. All money raised will go towards improving our kitchen facilities for Caffi Cynefin. To book a table for this event, click here. 

 

 

Planting Week: April 15th to April 19th - To prepare for the upcoming summer on our beautiful grounds, we will be having our annual planting week on the 15th April to the 19th April . We would be grateful if you could donate any plants, pots or compost ready for this fun event. 

 

Mr G's Internet Safety Tip of the Week: Create a List of Approved Websites. It is important to set up internet filters at home to prevent children from accessing age-inappropriate content on their devices. This can be achieved by creating a list of approved websites for your children. Fortunately, the four major internet service providers in the UK - BT, Sky, TalkTalk, and Virgin Media - offer free parental controls that can be activated at any time. These providers have collaborated to produce video guides to assist you in downloading and setting up the controls provided by your internet service provider.
