Welcome to the Summer,

Well, what a fun time we've had in school. We really enjoyed African week. Come and see all our lovely Art work displayed on the Wall. Your child had the opportunity to dress up as jungle animals and also to go on safari (in class)!
The African drumming was a great hit(photos also on wall and sent home at end of Term). Year 2 produced some wonderful African cave drawings instructed by our guest artist. We all enjoyed tasting exotic fruits and Mrs Decaro's class joined us to watch Lion King and sing some of the popular songs from the film.Great fun!
All the children are working hard in class especially year 2 who are getting ready to move to their new junior classes in September. They are starting visits to their new school this week.
Well done Lewis for achieving Seren yr Wythnos on Monday. This was in recognition of your effort to research on the internet about lions for Show and Tell.
Show and Tell tomorrow is anything to do with pirates. We will be reading Peter Pan and the pirates soon and are enjoying our African based story "The enormous crocodile " at present.
More news to ne posted soon but bye for now.
From; Mrs Bennell and the staff.

Welcome back to school after the Easter holidays.

Hello everyone, It was great to see everyyone looking fit and well after the holidays. A special welcome back to J ago who had been unwell prior to the holidays.
We can't believe how much the willow trees have grown outside our classrooms. We will be going through the tunnells this week and taking lots of photos to charter the growth. The children had so much fun on the yard on Tuesday with the playground paintings. We can't wait to have our building painted . Any ideas parents on what can be painted on the walls?
On the Friday before Half Term William was awarded Seren yr Wythnos. This was given to him because he had made lots of effort to join in all class activities. Well done William. Thankyou everyone for singing and listening well in the Easter Assembly also. We have a lovely photo of William with the Easter bunny in the Nursery. Lewis also had a fab time in the Easter Infant P.T.A. party. He loves magic and magicians.
We have an exciting Half Term ahead of us. Lewis, Spencer, Cai and Kyle will be visiting their new schools . Watch out Year 2 there will be rgular homework this term also.
Our topics for this term will be travel, the seaside and gardens. If you have any photos, artefacts or books on these themes please send into school. They will be carefully looked after and returned at the end of Term. Watch out parents for our Captain Hook pirate ship. Show and tell to start next week. The first will be on Africa. We can't wait to make our African masks and we are reading the story of The Lion King.
Keep in touch on the blog. By the way we had a lovely Easter party on the Friday before Half Term. It was also Mrs Parson's birthday. She celebrated in style in Las Vegas(during the holidays!).
See you soon from Mrs Bennell.
