Dear Parents/Carers

 

Well our classes have been extremely busy `sharing the learning` with their families. The feedback has been fantastic. We really appreciate all your support and the children are so proud to celebrate their learning with you all.

We hosted a cluster Welsh enrichment day this week for a `right rugby sing song`  and our Criw Cymraeg shared our Penclawdd version of Sospan Fach with them !  We`d like to thank Dan Biggar for sending us a fab message of support.
