VE Day 80th Anniversary Commemoration

On Thursday 8th May, we joined children across the UK in marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day. We jhad a reflective minute’s silence to honour those who served and sacrificed, followed by a lovely picnic on the school field in the sunshine.

A huge thank you to Cez, our fantastic Catering Manager, for organising such a wonderful spread for everyone to enjoy.

A special highlight of the day was a visit from Marion, a member of the local Penllyn WI, who shared her childhood memories of VE Day and what life was like growing up during the Second World War.

Thank you, Marion, for bringing history to life for our pupils — it was a privilege to listen and learn.

Period Dignity Workshop – Y5/6

On Friday, our Year 5 and 6 pupils took part in an important workshop led by the charity Period Dignity. The session helped pupils understand the science and facts about menstruation, promoted body confidence, and supported open, respectful discussion. We’re proud to be part of a school where these conversations can happen with maturity and care.

Full Governing Body Meeting

Thank you to our governors who attended this week’s Full Governing Body meeting. Your continued support and strategic guidance are invaluable in shaping the future of our school.

Coding Club Launches!

This week saw the launch of our brand new Coding Club, proudly run by one of our talented Year 6 pupils. Toby kicked off the first session with a brilliant introduction to creating ‘clicker’ games using Scratch. Coding Club is already proving to be a huge hit—bendigedig, Toby!

Upcoming Assessments

Next week, pupils across the school will be completing a range of end-of-year assessments. These will include the Welsh Government’s online Personalised Assessments (formerly known as National Tests), as well as in-house teacher assessments. These help us to track individual progress and will inform the end-of-year Annual Reports to Parents, which will be shared in July.

PTA Summer Planning Meeting

Our next PTA meeting will take place on Monday at 7:00 pm in the Year 5/6 classroom. We’ll be planning our summer events and fundraising activities. Everyone is welcome—we’d love to see you there!
