Dear Parents and Carers / Annwyl Rieni a Gwarchodwyr,
What a Whirlwind!
As we race towards the end of term, it’s been a truly action-packed few weeks here at school! From the emotional and heartwarming Year 6 Leavers’ Service to the high-energy laser combat trip, our pupils have been making memories to last a lifetime. The hall came alive with music during our recent performance, and our talented athletes did us proud at the Urdd athletics event.
Meanwhile, our youngest learners had an exciting visit to the fire station, and Year 5 explored history up close at the Imperial War Museum. With just one crazy week to go, we’re soaking up every moment of this fantastic end-of-term buzz!
Brass, Choir and Instrumental Performance
On Wednesday morning, the school hall was filled with the joyful sounds of music as our talented brass choir and instrumentalists treated pupils to a special performance. From bold brass fanfares to beautifully played solos, the children were captivated by the range of music on display.
It was a wonderful opportunity for our young musicians to showcase their hard work and dedication, and for the rest of the school to be inspired by live music. A huge well done to all the performers—and thank you to the staff who helped make it such a memorable event.
Urdd Athletics
On Tuesday, pupils from Years 3, 4, 5, and 6 proudly represented the school at the Urdd Athletics competition in Denbigh. It was a fantastic day filled with energy, excitement, and outstanding sportsmanship. Our athletes gave it their all in a range of events, from sprints and relays to long jump and throwing. Every pupil showed great determination and team spirit, cheering each other on and celebrating every effort and achievement. A huge well done to all who took part—you did Rhos Street proud!
Yr. 6 Trip to Laser Combat
Yesterday, Year 6 swapped the classroom for camouflage as they headed out for an action-packed laser combat adventure! Armed with determination (and laser blasters), the pupils showed off their teamwork, tactics, and lightning-fast reflexes in a series of thrilling games.
There was no shortage of laughter—especially when Miss Price and Mr. Davis became the prime targets! Despite their best efforts to stay hidden, the pupils had them firmly in their sights. It was a fantastic day full of fun, friendly competition, and unforgettable memories as Year 6 celebrated the end of their primary school journey in
style.
Yr. 6 Leaver’s Service
This week, we gathered as a school community to celebrate our wonderful Year 6 pupils in a heartfelt Leavers’ Service. It was a time to reflect on their journey, share memories, and look ahead to the exciting adventures that await them in secondary school.
The service was filled with touching speeches, songs, and proud moments as each pupil took the spotlight. Special awards were presented to recognise achievements, effort, and the unique contributions each child has made to school life.
We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 leavers—they leave us with confidence, kindness, and a legacy of friendship and fun. We wish them all the very best for the future!
Nursery Visit the Fire Station!
On Tuesday, our nursery class had an exciting trip to Ruthin Fire Station! The children were thrilled to meet real firefighters, explore the fire engines, and even try on some helmets. They learned all about fire safety in a fun and engaging way and loved hearing the sirens and seeing the equipment up close.
A big thank you to the team at Ruthin Fire Station for such a warm welcome and for making the visit so memorable. It was a fantastic experience for our youngest learners!
Year 5 Explore History at the Imperial War Museum
Year 5 had a fascinating and thought-provoking trip to the Imperial War Museum in Manchester today. The visit brought their learning to life as they explored powerful exhibitions about conflict, resilience, and the impact of war on people’s lives.
Pupils were especially engaged by the interactive displays and personal stories, which sparked meaningful discussions and deepened their understanding of history. It was a memorable day that combined learning, reflection, and curiosity.
A big thank you to the staff and volunteers at the museum—and well done to Year 5 for representing the school so brilliantly!

Weekly Wellbeing
This week’s quote is from Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) who was a transformative First Lady of the United States, diplomat, and human rights advocate. She redefined the role of First Lady through her active engagement in social issues and tireless work for civil rights, education, and women’s empowerment. Her legacy continues to inspire generations to pursue their goals with courage and conviction.
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
— Eleanor Roosevelt
