Today, the children in foundation phase celebrated a Welsh Culture Day with visiting harpist Bethan Nia. A variety of Welsh songs were sung whilst Bethan played the harp. Afterwards the children had a go themselves on the small harps. They all had a wonderful time.

We recently went on a trip to Barry Island with our parents and teachers. The weather wasn't looking so good when we left school but it got better at the beach. We had a fabulous time playing in the sand.

Our First Few Weeks in Class

We’ve had a busy few weeks settling back into school. We’ve had lots of new friends join us in our class and we have been showing them how we line up, how we wash our hands, how to tidy up and much much more!

We have been learning about Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Next we are learning about The Three Little Pigs.

Science Week

On Wednesday we had a gardening day!
We have had great fun in the garden. We’ve planted carrot and tomato seeds and potatoes. We planted daffodils and lots of other colourful flowers.
We tidied up our yard – we gave it a good sweep and Mr Wells and Miss Smyth picked up some bits of litter.

We have had some new windmills, scarecrows and suncatchers so we had to decide where they were all going to go.

We also filled up our bird feeder and will be making bird cakes in class to put on our bird table.
