Today, some of our Year 2 pupils attended a mini festival at Newbridge Tennis and Squash Club! They participated in activities around Tennis, Squash, Dodgeball and the Gym. The whole emphasis was on them being engaged and having fun! Our children had a wonderful time, and we definitly saw a future tennis star in the making!
Today, the children who completed Mr Morgan’s Keep Up booklets over the summer holidays were rewarded with their certficates and prizes! Well done to everyone that kept up with their maths learning!
This morning, we welcomed in our school community for our Macmillan coffee morning. Parents and family members visited their child’s classes and were invited to have a hot drink and some cake while participating in some fun activities with their children in the classrooms!
We are going to announce the winners of the mug design in next week’s praise assembly, where we will also be able to share how much we raised!
Thank you for all your support and for Mrs Griffiths for organising a wonderful morning!
Thank you to the parents who attended our meeting this afternoon.

Today we celebrated National Fitness Day in school! Each class from Nursery to Year 6 participated in a fitness session with Mr Morgan and learnt about the importance of being fit and healthy!
Today, our our thoughts and prayers are with the Royal Family as we say a final thank you and farewell to Queen Elizabeth II.
Our Year 3 and 4 children had a workshop today about the Catholic Social Teachings. The children were spoken to about CAFOD and a little about the work they do. They watched a short video about a letter written from Pope Francis about looking after and loving our brothers and sisters. We looked at four of their nine principles – Taking part, Putting people in most need first, Thinking of everyone and showing we care. The children read through some scenarios and decided which scenario was relevant to the nine principles. The children shared some great ideas.
On Thursday 15th September, we celebrated democracy day by holding our school votes for our School Council representatives and for our house captains! The children wanting to take on these roles had to do a speech and then their fellow peers voted as to who they would want in the role! The winners were announced in Praise Assembly today!
Today, the children celebrated Roald Dahl’s birthday by dressing up as their favourite characters from Roald Dahl books! Mrs Griffiths led an assembly, where we learned about the amount of books he had written and when he first wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! This came as quite a shock to some of the children!
The children also spent time in their English lessons learning about their new class texts, which are all Roald Dahl classics!
Today, we were very luckly to welcome local celebrity Eva Abley, who was a finalist on Britain’s got Talent! Eva shot to fame as a comedian on the televised talent show finishing 5th, while also promoting awaress around her disability Cerebral Palsy.
This morning, she spoke to the children about disability and about showing kindness and respect, which fitted in brilliantly to our school rules and ethos! Eva also didn’t disappoint the children as she told them a joke about the difference between teachers and a book….. you can shut a book up!!!
All of our fantastic summer learners were awarded the chance to share a picture with Eva!
