Fri 24 Jan 2020Although, we are at the end of a very sad week in Llanrhidian Primary School after losing our beloved friend Annabel Stevenson, your kind words have supported us all greatly. Thank you for those who have sent in memories, photographs and donations to Ty Olwen.
The school's pupil groups have been busy holding meetings since the beginning of term to reflect on what is going well and what can be improved in each AoLE (Area of Learning and Experience). For example #LlanLliwgar the expressive arts crew would like to see more drama, real-life drawing and green-screen filming in the school. Helen Hulaat will be starting a lunchtime drama club next Thursday which will help address one of these targets. All children from across the school will be very welcome to attend .
The ECO HERO group wrote an application for a £500 grant to the Gower Society before Christmas and were lucky enough to be successful! They are now in the process of discussing how they would like to use the money. If you would like to find out more about the work of our pupil groups please visit the "Pupils" tab to view their pages.
This term it will be Pod Pysgoden's turn to plan and produce an end of term concert. Our new system of pod shows means that everyone will get a chance to shine and will have a part to play. More details to follow soon!
