Earlier this term a group of pupils spent the day in the grounds of Erddig. Our day in the

woods and forests comprised hunting for plants and mini beasts, some woodland challenge

activities and some hefty den building. The sun shone and everyone had a great time!













In order to intorduce himself to pupils our new guitar and drums teacher, Mr Lawrence, held

a musical assembly. Snejana is already being tutored by Mr Lawrence and gave us an excellent

performance of her guitar work. Other volunteers helped out and had a go at some of the

instruments – with pupils watching dancing to the beats.

Thanks to Mrs Senior, Kirsty and Mr Wilkey

for a fantastic Staylittle expedition!!




The Powys Dragons came into school to show us the range of Martial Arts that

they teach. Everyone had a go and really enjoyed it. You can sign up for proper classes

after school on Tuesdays at the Village Hall.




Mrs Senior recently

organised a very enjoyable

Welsh Day, which

involved all pupils moving

around the school, getting

involved in a range of Welsh

themed activities, including

dancing, treasure hunt, arts

and crafts and cake

decorating.




As part of Elystan’s recent work on the First and Second World War’s

Laura Bennett brought in a box of wartime memoirs to share with the

class. The box was fascinating and contained lots of really interesting

aretfacts – all related to Laura’s wartime relative, Mr George Doige.

Thank you Laura – you really helped us bring History alive!

We are currently looking for a midday supervisor, to work daily from 12-1pm, during term

times. If anyone has an interest in this post please contact the school.

Thanks to Adriana Huelgos for giving some free Zumba lessons

to Elystan class! All have really enjoyed it!

We said goodbye to one of our lunchtime supervisors this term. Alison Bolderstone was

given a lovely gift and lots of farewells on her last day. Alison has recently very kindly

donated £33 to our school fund. Many thanks!

Goodbye also to our lunchtime supervisor Natasha Bentley, and our excellent teaching

assistants, Kathryn Evans and Carys Roberts. Many thanks for all your excellent work with

us!

All the very best to Miss Jones as she will soon start her maternity leave; Miss

Wallington will be our maternity cover Foundation Phase teacher from

September.

From September 2017 the school newsletter will be posted directly on to

the school website, rather than circulated as a hard copy.
