Annwyl Rhieni a Gofalwyr,

We have had a fun-filled and engaging week at school, and it was wonderful to see so many of you at our Tea Time STEM event on Monday. The event showcased our term’s focus on Design and Technology, and we were delighted to share the children’s learning with you.

Thank you so much to all the parents who attended – your enthusiasm and support made the event truly special. The children thoroughly enjoyed demonstrating what they have been learning, particularly the creative ways they can join pieces of card together without using sellotape. We hope you found it as interesting and inspiring as they did!

We are already looking forward to hosting another event in the Autumn Term and hope to see many of you there again. 🛠️✨

Yesterday, our school was filled with music and excitement as we enjoyed our very first Rock Steady sessions! It was 'music to our ears' with the sounds of drums beating, bass guitars grooving, keyboards playing bright melodies, guitars strumming, and voices singing with confidence.

The atmosphere was buzzing, with each group bringing their own energy and rhythm, turning our learning spaces into mini concert venues. We are so excited to see how their musical journeys develop over the coming weeks—there are definitely some future rock stars in the making! 🎶🎸🥁

Cross Country Stars 🌟

Well done to all of our pupils who took part in cross country this week! You were absolutely amazing and represented our school with pride. We are so proud of your effort, determination, and fantastic team spirit—what an achievement! 🏃‍♂️👏
