The children and staff have had a fantastic day celebrating World Book Day 2017. Thank you to the parents who have helped the children come into school in some very creative costumes and for the staff with some creative costumes of their own!

This morning the children watched an excellent theatre production of Alice in Wonderland, which was then followed by a workshop for our Year 6 children and some competition winners from across school; Nana in Year 2, Laura in Year 5, Madison in Year 4 and Seba in Year 3.

Then classes swapped classrooms with the children pairing up and reading their favourite stories to each other. There was even a Where’s Wally hunt for Early Years!

A wonderful day had by all!

Children in early years were visited by staff from the Wildside Activity Centre today for a ‘Caring for Critters’ workshop. They took part in a mini beast hunt and then made ‘bug hotels’ to protect the mini beasts in their garden.They found worms, woodlice, beetles, millipedes and slugs and were not afraid to touch them and hold them! The Wildside Activity Centre are offering a range of activities during the Easter holidays, visit their website www.wildsideac.co.uk for more information.

Yesterday here at SS Peter and Paul, there were lots of fun activities celebrating Shrove Tuesday.

In Reception, we invited parents in to make pancakes with children, they then topped with lemon, sugar or banana.

In year 1, the children wrote instructions for a pancake recipe and tasted pancakes. Here are some pictures…

Today the children in nursery and reception have concluded their topic on Traditional Tales by having a dress up day. We had princesses, Kings, knights, fairies, Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood, to name but a few!

They danced together at a grand ball in the hall, made sandwiches, salad and cheese and pineapple on sticks for a banquet and listened to some of their favourite stories.

All of the children and staff had a very enjoyable day and have learnt a lot about traditional tales; try asking them what Goldilocks did, what the big bad wolf said to the three little pigs and what Jack sold the cow for, and they should be able to tell you.

This morning the children had to strip their beds, pack, tidy their rooms and hoover. They then went out for their final activity of canoeing. We canoed across the lake to have lunch and then went to another part of the lake to play some games before heading back for shore.

We are going to have a light snack before leaving here around 5:00 pm. When we return to school around 8:00 pm, the children will need to unload the bags and all return into the school hall where any remaining money will be handed back and any medicines will also be returned. The children will then be able to be collected from the school office.

The children woke up to freezing temperatures here in Wales but that did not stop them participating in lots of activities.

The children started by doing several activities around the grounds including zip line, jump rope and climbing along a cliff face. Then after warming up and having their lunch, the children headed into the valley for some gorge walking. Here the children went into old mines, climbed up and down streams and showed great climbing ability to balance across the slippery rocks.

This evening after dinner, the children did some orienteering in the dark with their torches before going into spend their money at the Towers Shop, whilst others played pool and table tennis.

Here are a selection of pictures from today…

We are hoping for better weather for our last day tomorrow so that we can do some canoeing before heading home.

After arriving yesterday, the children made their beds, unpacked and had lunch. They then split into three groups and went on separate walks in the mountains along some lakes including Llyn Elsi. On arriving back at Towers, the children had dinner and pudding before getting ready for their evening activity. We then went out as a whole group for a night walk with torches into the local forest, which the children thoroughly enjoyed. We then returned for a hot chocolate with the children finally going to bed around 9.30.
