The time really is going by so quickly.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px\">Just before we broke up for Easter, the children in our Foundation Phase took part in an Easter Bonnet parade! The bonnets were, without exception, delightful! The parade took place in our school playground and was well supported by parents, grandparents, carers and friends. Our judges were Oliver Fulthorpe (Head Boy and Millie Jorna (Head Girl). Thanks go to all our families for such amazing efforts in making the bonnets and, of course, to our PFTA, who provided the prizes.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px\">Thank you again to the PFTA who arranged an Easter egg hunt for all the children on the afternoon we broke up for Easter. This is always hugely enjoyed by the children.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px\">Year 1 attended a multi skills festival at Barry Leisure Centre, enjoying taking part in activities such a karate and tennis. They were very well behaved and a real credit to school.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px\">Year 1 also led worship towards the end of term&ndash; speaking and singing beautifully. Very well done, Year 1!<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px\">The children all took part in the Sport Relief Mile; this was a great success, with circuits of the playground mounting up magnificently!<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px\">We were delighted to have been invited to the Memorial Hall, Barry, to showcase the work the children in Year 2 have been undertaking in their Creative Writing. The children have been working with our hugely talented, Mrs Michelle Briscombe: Mrs Briscombe is a published author and has been developing the skill of story writing in the Foundation Phase. Miss Starke and Mrs Briscombe presented this to a wide audience of school leaders from across the Vale of Glamorgan.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px\">We are engaging in a partnership with Cardiff Metropolitan University; this saw us welcome 13 student teachers for a day in March; the students were investigating what effective teaching learning looks like in practice. The trainee teachers visited all classes as part of their observations; thanks really must go to all the teaching and support staff and to the pupils, who created such a good impression. Feedback received was very positive indeed. Later this week, we will be welcoming the students again, when we will be facilitating opportunities for them to learn about cross- curricular learning.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px\">We are looking forward to the warmer weather and with that, the lovely opportunity to play on our school field. We really do count ourselves blessed to have such a wonderful and stimulating environment.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Well, here we are at the start of the Summer Term already!
