THE AELWYD'S FRAME RETURNS TO THE SCHOOL

The embroidery lists the names of the members of the Aelwyd during the period 1933 – 1958 and includes the names of many famous Welsh people including Mary Vaughan Jones,  T H Parry Williams and Ifan ab Owen Edwards.

ARAD GOCH'S #OPENINGDOORS FESTIVAL

During this week (April 1st - 4th) Arad Goch is holding a 'Opening Doors Festival'.

We are very lucky as a school that we (children from nursery to year 6) have all had the chance to see different performances during the week, starting with Georgia Ruth, a past pupil of the school.

Nursery had a full morning of music and instruments as well as a chance to experiment with a variety of instruments themselves - they were fantastic!

Thank you Arad Goch for organising this fantastic festival - we're looking forward to next year already!

E-SAFETY WORKSHOP

Year 6 were fortunate recently to receive a visit from students at the University to discuss e-safety with them.

As children and adults, our use of the internet is growing annually, therefore it is vital that we learn how to stay safe while browsing, and to learn how to use the internet sensibly ourselves.

Many discussions took place during the afternoon and we would like to thank the students for their guidance during a very informative and interesting session.
