Hydref 4ydd / October 4th

Dear Parents and Carers / Annwyl Rieni a Gwarchodwyr,

A very busy week draws to its end. Plenty of great activities going on and even a little bit of sunshine to add a bit of cheer to our, up-till-now very soggy, sombre autumn.

A huge ‘well done’ to all those who competed at Denbighshire Cross country yesterday. A great demonstration of resilience and perseverance, we’re so proud of you all. Da iawn pawb!

Clocktower Presentation

Xplore Science
A big thank you to Xplore Science who came along on Monday to work with Yrs. 3 – 6 on coding and control activities. The children had a fantastic time learning all about coding and got to put their new-found knowledge to the test by building robots to and coding them to follow their instructions. This is the first of many coding and control activities that we will be undertaking this year.

Weekly Wellbeing
Today is World Animal Day, the International Day of Action for animal rights and welfare celebrated annually on October 4, the feast day of Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.
