Pedal for Power Fund Raising

Pedalling for Power.
Year 2 pupil Dylan Beard has decided he, with a little help from his friends, will cycle 4000 miles, the distance from here to Uganda to raise money for Ty Hafan, Breast Cancer Campaign and Sikusi. 

However, being only 6 and not allowed out of the street on his own has caused a problem. The solution.... Turbo trainers in the school hall!! A turbo trainer is like a treadmill for a bike. All children wanting to help with the challenge will be encouraged to bring their own bikes in for the week of the 15th April and hopefully some sponsorship money!! Each will take it in turns to pop their bike on a turbo trainer and cycle for as long as they can, helping Dylan to reach his £3000 target AND winning some amazing prizes for themselves as they pedal, including

Family match day tickets for Cardiff City (2 adults and 2 children)
A place on the VIP tour of Cardiff City Ground, behind the scenes look at the stadium, a chance to meet the players and may be a quick training session with them!!!
Sam Warburton's rugby shorts, worn against New Zealand last year and signed by the man himself!
Geraint Thomas' cycle jersey, gold Olympic medal winner and cyclist with Team Sky, signed by the man himself!
And lots of other fantastic prizes.

ECO SCHOOLS GREEN FLAG AWARD

Congratulations!!!!!!

The school was today awarded the Eco Schools Green Flag for the work that the children have done to improve their environment and their understanding of the World. This is a very prestigious award and reflects the hard work of everyone but especially the Eco Committee, Mrs. Street, Mrs. Price and Miss Jervis who have worked really hard over the last three years to achieve this.

The children were fantastic in speaking to the assessors and they are now thinking about where to put the flag pole.

I am really proud and know that parents will be, too

Da iawn.

Wednesday 23rd January - SCHOOL CLOSED

I am very sorry but Governors and I have taken the decision to close today. We struggled yesterday to be the only school in the area to open but there is more snow today than there was yesterday. Also BBC are still forecasting further snow this morning.

The forecast for tomorrow is better so we will look forward to having a normal day on Thursday.

The decision to close is never taken lightly but we have to consider the safety of the pupils and staff getting to and from the school site.

Thanks for your support yesterday.

Mr. Roberts

Snow Update

A big thank you to all of you who got into school today, staff and children, and to those who helped with the snow clearing this morning.With snow falling tonight, I do not know what the situation will be tomorrow but if we can open safely, with enough staff as today, we will. I will make a decision in the morning and text and blog by 7.30am.

Once again, many thanks to all of the staff for ensuring that we could open today.

Mr. Roberts
