Pupils in Year 6 were taught basic First Aid skills in their Mini-Medics training on Thursday.

Our thanks to Chris who delivered the Mini-medics session and also ran the archery sessions with all pupils.

Welshpool High School Concert

We have been invited to sing at the high school concert on Tuesday 9th July in the evening. We will be performing one of the songs from our Whispering Woods performance. This is open to all pupils. If your child would like to take part, please see Mrs Haine.

Hats and Sunscreen

Please ensure your child has a hat in school, clearly marked with their name. If possible, please apply any sunscreen before school. If your child brings sunscreen to school, they will need to apply it themselves (younger children will be supervised).

School Website

Remember to visit the school website - The Year in Pictures - to find out what we have been learning about in school.
