Dear Parents/Carers,

There are not too many weeks left in school and I know children are beginning to feel a little tired.  However, there is so much to look forward to!  We have our school fayre on Monday 3rd July - please support this event and help raise funds for our school. 

I hope are Year 6 children will really enjoy these last few weeks before they leave us. They will visit Gowerton Comprehensive as part of transition which will enable them to become familiar with the school as they meet new friends and meet new teachers.

Nursery Open Event

Our Nursery open event was a huge success. Staff enjoyed spending time meeting new families and had a wonderful range of activities for our youngest learners to enjoy. We will be holding another open Nursery event in the Autumn. 

We also have a wonderful new Nursery Prospectus for the new academic year. We are thrilled with the design and of course the photographs taken by School Governor Mrs. Sarah Hopkins and members of staff.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Llanmorlais Carnival winners were Vega, Tomask and Jairaj. 

When I visited Llanmorlais village hall I was so impressed that our children had submitted so many drawings, poems and models.   Well done!

The choir gave an outstanding performance and once again sparkled in their outfits. Many thanks to staff including Mrs. Davies and Ms. Griffiths who helped with the choir and music.
