With the sun peeking out from behind the clouds, we'd like to extend a heartfelt "diolch" to all who contributed plant donations this week. Your generosity has truly made a difference in brightening up our school environment.
It's been wonderful to see our school blossoming, quite literally, and to witness the joy on our pupils' faces as they engage with the outdoors during this dry spell. Providing opportunities for our learners to take ownership of their school is not only essential for fostering a sense of "Cynefin" and belonging but also aligns perfectly with our commitment to authentic learning here at Llanrhidian. By involving our pupils in caring for and beautifying our school grounds, we not only enhance the physical environment but also create invaluable learning experiences. These hands-on activities provide rich opportunities for exploration, discovery, and personal growth, all of which are central to our educational philosophy. Once again, a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this effort. Together, we are making our school a vibrant and nurturing place for all.
We're thrilled to inform you that our Pod Planning Overview for the upcoming topic 'Allez les Champions!' will be delivered to you next week via your child's pod. Following a fantastic launch day of activities last week, both pupils and staff have been eagerly planning for an enriching learning journey ahead.
The enthusiasm across the school is obvious as students look forward to delving into various aspects of the topic. From learning French to indulging in food tasting, exploring geographical features in comparison to Wales, and diving into the spirit of the 2024 Olympics, there's so much excitement in the air! We believe in the power of community collaboration, and your input is invaluable. If you possess any particular knowledge or skills that you believe could enhance our exploration of this theme, please don't hesitate to let us know. Your contributions will undoubtedly enrich the learning experience for all involved. Thank you for your ongoing support and enthusiasm as we embark on this exciting journey together. Merci!
Here are some key reminders
North Gower Knees Up We are thrilled to announce that our inaugural North Gower Knees Up event is just around the corner, happening in just 4 weeks! This promises to be an unforgettable evening, filled with entertainment, fantastic prizes, and most importantly, all in support of our pupils.
The funds raised during this event will be earmarked for an exciting initiative: the development of a pupil kitchen. This kitchen will serve as a hub for our children to learn the art of food preparation and cooking. Through this project, they will not only enhance their culinary skills but also contribute to Caffi Cynefin, fostering a sense of community and skill-building.
To add to the excitement, we're delighted to announce that the talented band Nimble Limbs will be gracing us with their presence, ensuring a night filled with great music and dancing.
Furthermore, we owe a huge debt of gratitude to our dedicated group of parents who have worked tirelessly to secure an array of amazing auction and raffle prizes. Their commitment and effort truly make events like these possible.
If you haven't already, please take a moment to reserve your table for the event. You can now conveniently make payments through iPay, or alternatively, by sending cash to the school. (Kindly inform the office if you prefer to use iPay for payment processing).
Let's come together as a community to make this event a resounding success and support the bright futures of our pupils. We look forward to seeing you there!
