  Merry Christmas /Nadolig Llawen 

  Happy New Year/ Blwyddyn Newydd Dda

   

  Dear Parent/Carers,

   

  What a BRILLIANT end to a GREAT term.  Thank you all for your ongoing help and support! I`d like say a special thank you to all the staff- #TeamPenclawdd ,who are an incredible team and have made this end of term so special for the classes - they definitely deserve a well earned break!  

   

  This term we have REALLY enjoyed welcoming our school community back together : from classes sharing their  learning, to the Christmas Fayre, Concerts and Choirs , to name just a few events ! 

   

  ALL our Christmas concerts were a HUGE success and gave our fab children the opportunity to perform to an audience and share their talents. Well done to the pupils and the ALL our fab staff who worked so hard to produce such excellent performances. 

  Elf school was just magical and our choir and Y6 ukelele`s on the yard yesterday, with hot choc, mince pies and snow was just perfect! 

   

  After a well deserved break, school will be back open on January 9th .

   

  Estyn report

  We are looking forward to receiving our report on Friday January 13th 2023.

  Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda!
