Welsh Singing at the Council Chamber
On Wednesday, 4 March, a group of our pupils were invited by the County Council to take part in their St David’s Day celebrations. The children sang six Welsh songs in the Council Chamber, and they were absolutely fantastic.
Their behaviour, enthusiasm and beautiful singing made us incredibly proud. They represented the school wonderfully and received warm praise from everyone present.
Well done to all involved — what a memorable experience for the children and a brilliant way to celebrate St David’s Day!
Year 6 Parent/Carer Survey Opportunity: North Wales Police Youth Safety Survey
North Wales Police are currently updating their Serious Violence Strategic Needs Assessment, and they are asking young people across the region to share their views.
As part of this work, they are inviting children and young people aged 11–25 to take part in a short online survey about their perceptions and experiences of safety and violence in their communities.
The original survey, completed in early 2024, helped build a picture of how young people understand and experience violence. This refreshed survey will ensure that the latest voices and experiences are included in this year’s analysis.
If parents or carers wish their Year 6 child to take part, the survey can be completed at home using the link below: Violence in North Wales – Children and Young Person’s Survey – Fill in form
A Wonderful World Book Day Celebration
Our World Book Day was a fantastic success, filled with excitement, creativity, and a shared love of reading. The school came alive with colour as pupils and staff arrived dressed as their favourite book characters, showcasing an amazing range of imaginative costumes inspired by much‑loved stories.
Throughout the day, classes took part in a variety of book-themed activities, including storytelling sessions, character discussions, author-inspired tasks, and creative art projects linked to favourite books. Pupils were enthusiastic and engaged, enjoying the chance to explore new stories and celebrate the books they already treasure.
Staff also joined in the fun, sparking conversations about reading and encouraging children to discover new authors and genres. The atmosphere across the school was warm, lively, and filled with enthusiasm for all things literary.
Thank you to our families for supporting the day with such fantastic costume efforts, and to all staff for organising activities that made the event so memorable. It was a wonderful celebration of storytelling, imagination, and the joy of reading.
Nursery Colour Run Fun on Tuesday
Our Nursery class had a fantastic time taking part in their colourful and energetic Colour Run on Tuesday. The children were full of excitement as they made their way around the course, running, laughing, and enjoying bursts of bright colour along the way. Their enthusiasm was clear to see, with big smiles and plenty of giggles as they completed each lap.
The event created a joyful, lively atmosphere, with staff and families cheering the children on and celebrating their efforts. It was a wonderful opportunity for our youngest pupils to be active, work together, and simply enjoy a fun-filled morning outdoors.
A big well done to all our Nursery runners for taking part with such energy and positivity and thank you to Miss. Pugh and her team for making Tuesday’s Colour Run such a vibrant and memorable experience.
Year 2 Enjoy Inspiring Virtual Author Workshops
Blwyddyn 2 have had a wonderful week of storytelling, creativity, and inspiration through two exciting virtual author sessions.
Today, the class took part in another engaging workshop with Rebecca Lewis-Oakes, who captured their imaginations as she talked about her book Nora Nightsky. The children were thoroughly absorbed in the story and especially enjoyed taking part in her fun and interactive quiz.
Earlier in the week, Blwyddyn 2 also joined a virtual workshop with author Ella McLeod and illustrator Rochelle Falconer, based on their empowering book Goldilocks, Let Me Tell You My Story. The session offered a refreshing, thoughtful twist on a well-known tale, and the class were delighted to take part in a guided drawing activity where they learned how to draw bears.
Both workshops were hugely enjoyable and inspiring, giving pupils the chance to connect with real authors and illustrators while developing their love of reading and creativity.
Nursery Engagement Event
Our Nursery families enjoyed a lovely Engagement Event in the hall on Wednesday with Family-Link Worker Sarah Williams. The session offered a warm and welcoming opportunity for children and their adults to explore early learning activities together. There was a wonderful buzz in the room as families joined in with play-based tasks, shared stories, and took part in practical activities designed to support early development.
Sarah Williams led the session with real enthusiasm, guiding parents and children through a range of fun, hands-on experiences. It was fantastic to see everyone working together, chatting, and celebrating the children’s growing confidence and curiosity. Thank you to all who attended and helped make the morning so positive. We look forward to more opportunities to welcome families into school and continue building strong home‑school partnerships.
The Big Walk and Wheel – Coming Soon!
We’re excited to share that our school will once again be taking part in The Big Walk and Wheel, the UK’s largest inter‑school walking, wheeling, and cycling challenge.
From 16th – 27th of March we’ll be encouraging all pupils to walk, wheel, scoot, or cycle to school as often as they can. The aim is simple: to get active, reduce traffic at the school gates, help the environment, and start each day feeling energised and ready to learn.
Children can take part in whatever way suits them — walking, using a wheelchair, scooting, cycling, or even “park and stride” if you live further away.
Why take part?
⭐ Improves physical and mental wellbeing 🌍 Reduces congestion and pollution around school
🚦 Helps build healthy long‑term travel habits 😄 It’s fun — and there are prizes available nationally!
We’ll be tracking our daily journeys and celebrating the amazing effort our learners put in. Every journey counts, whether it’s once a week or every day. Thank you for your support in helping us make this year’s Big Walk and Wheel our best yet!

Weekly Wellbeing
Victor Hugo (1802–1885) was a celebrated French novelist, poet, and playwright, best known for Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. As a leading figure of the Romantic movement, he used his writing to explore justice, compassion, and the strength of the human spirit. Hugo’s quote suggests that laughter has the power to warm, uplift, and heal, much like sunshine melting away winter. It reminds us that joy and humour can brighten difficult moments, bring comfort, and restore a sense of hope.
“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.” — Victor Hugo
