The News This week

Happy half term! A huge diolch to all of our families that attended parent consultations this week. It has been a fantastic opportunity to share your children's successes with you.

Year 3 visited Cardiff Museum this week and discovered the 'Wonderful world of dinosaurs' through workshops and exploration - what an exciting opportunity!

This week was 'Digital Citizenship Week'. Children learnt about the importance of safety online and being safe, responsible and respectful at all times.

Please remember to bring in a healthy choice for snack time, this could be yoghurt, fruit, cereal bars or cheese, diolch!

Reception class have settled in so well with their friends and teachers this half term. They have been learning and practising their letters and enjoying sensory play in the outdoors with the sand - so much fun!

Year one's class is like a busy hive of bees! They have been getting on very nicely and were having so much fun reading, colouring and completing their maths activities - da iawn pawb!

Tune in for next week's update on Year two!
