EX-PUPIL CLIMBS KILIMANJARO

We were delighted to welcome Celyn Kenny to the school this morning.

Celyn is an ex-pupil of Ysgol Gymraeg who will soon be aiming to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, in order to raise money for Childreach International.

Celyn shared an interesting presentation with the pupils about the journey she will take on this Summer.

The School Council have decided to organise an event to raise money to sponsor Celyn, and show our support. Best of luck.

Years 5 and 6 pupils had an amazing three days at the Urdd's Residential Centre at Glan-llyn recently.

The weather was fantastic as were the activities as usual. The pupils were given a chance to conquer the climbing wall, go canoeing, have a trip in a boat across the lake, battle the assault course and the tower, go swimming and orienteering, ending with a very noisy disco indeed!

Many thanks to the centre's staff for their work and to the school's staff for their care of the children over the three days.

Three days to remember!
