The Easter holidays are here and what a term it has been! The 'Make Do and Mend' topic has been spectacular, so much so that I heard some pupils' saying 'I'm really going to miss this topic, I have learnt loads!'. Their enthusiasm and attitudes to learning speaks volumes and we are immensely proud of them. The topic finale was last Friday in a spectacular fashion show, where pupils (and staff!) strutted their stuff on the catwalk! As the days get longer and lighter, we look forward to the launch of our summer term topic on Tuesday April 9th!
A huge diolch yn fawr you to all our parents for your tremendous support this term, spanning from supporting schools in Zambia to charities in Swansea, and for your enthusiastic participation in our Easter Eggstravaganza event. These events are what make our school a special place to be.
We have some exciting news! We have developed a new Early Bird Craft Club which will be aimed at developing creative and artistic skills. We have amazing plans for next term, and your child can attend each morning from 8am to 8.25 each day. During this time they will be working collaboratively on an amazing work of art that will be finally displayed in our Caffi Cynefin. We will be posting the progress on Instagram. We are so excited about this, and cannot wait to see what will be created. If you would like your child to take part please book now by clicking here. For more information check out our website!
Our Cynefin Oriel is taking shape, and we have had a variety of artists' work on display. Plenty of room for more - so please spread the word.
Here are some 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: The internet can be a great space to do fun things, like gaming, chatting with others, sharing knowledge and information, and being entertained. However, we may also see or experience things that are upsetting or worry us. Click here to read more about how to take care of your child's digital wellbeing.
