Our Bard was Georgia Iles – Georgia wrote a wonderful poem about The Blitz; congratulations, Georgia.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tC<\/span><\/span>hildren in Foundation Phase were also treated to a visit by Braces bakery<\/strong><\/em>, who demonstrated how Welsh cakes are made. Our infant pupils were all given a packet of Welsh cakes to take home – they were truly delicious!<\/span><\/span><\/span>\"\"\n<\/p>\n

\n\tV<\/span><\/span>icar Jon led us in school Eucharist and Year 5 pupils also visited St Mary’s Church <\/strong><\/em>for the Eucharist Service.
