Happy Half Term! We hope you all have a wonderful half term. We’ll see you back at school on Tuesday June 3rd.
This past week:
- Pobbles made good use of the plastic boxes and cardboard they brought in to make recycled musical instruments. They formed a junk band and had a dance party which they all liked.
- Bracelet enjoyed their class trip to the National Botanical Gardens of Wales, where they saw plants from all across the world. They did themselves and the school proud as active and inquisitive learners.
- Caswell where able to participate in a special workshop all about Amy Johnson, a pioneering pilot. They learned about the principles of flight, navigation, and enjoyed making a bi-plane model to take home.
- Oxwich were able to attend a workshop at school lead by Swansea University. They had a great time learning about rovers in space. Some of them also went out for a litter pick around the school grounds as they focus on pollution this term.
