Parking – Please do not park on the zigzag or double yellow lines. It is illegal, and puts lives at risk.

Football Match – Our Y5/6’s played some matches against Ysgol Brynymor yesterday. There were two teams the A team and the B team that A team won 3-0 I (Somto) scored a hatrick.It was a very hard game with very small proper goals they have improved as a team and I would like to play them again we had a team of 9 so did they and to sum it up they played incredible.  Somto XD

There was a very good match held at the pitches there were A team  and a B team. Luckily the A team won 3-0 but the B team lost 4-2. It was a hard match with such small goals but it was an amazing one with a lot of chances good goals and close goals. Adam.

In the B-team we had a fantastic first half with two goals scored by Blake and Edward. So we were winning 2-1 at half time. But then Bryn-y-mor scored three more goals in the second half. The final score was 4-2. We really enjoyed the game and both of us almost scored. Jago and Jacob.

Lovely thought provoking assembly from Y34J this morning. They talked through their group presentations that they’d worked so hard on in class about Charity and did brilliantly. They shared interesting facts on the role of important charities of Water Aid, UNICEF, BHF, Cancer Research UK, Comic and Sports Relief and Children in Need. All with very little time to practice. Well done 34J!

We hold a film club each Wednesday lunch time. Input from the organisation INTOFILM has guided the format. We watch films, write reviews, and discuss all aspects of the content and production. Many aspects of literacy are taught through the medium of film We also create short films on a variety of themes. We look at all aspects of film production.
