Mr Cook’s Special Assembly
We're back together!
We had an incredible start to our Friday - the whole school got together for the first time in over two years! Another exciting aspect about this morning's gathering was the fact that it was a celebration assembly (another first in over two years!). The children and staff had a whale of a time celebrating the return of our Stars of the Week celebration. A special mention was given to Beth Rees, who won the diocesan Easter Card competition and Summer Braine, who had multiple show jumping 1st places at the David Broome Event Centre during the Easter holidays.
It was also an opportunity for us to formally introduce Cwtch Derbyn to the rest of the school - they behaved and performed impeccably. The singing and dancing to bring the celebration to a close was outstanding and it was the perfect start to a Bank Holiday weekend.
Here are this week's stars:

Building Shelters in Cwtch 6
It is Wales Outdoor Learning Week and our children have been enjoying taking their learning outside!
Cwtch 3 went outside to plant some vegetables, as well as completing a team challenge to find out about average temperature and rainfall in Rome and in Cardiff.
Cwtch Pedwar enjoyed taking their knowledge on area and perimeter from recent maths lessons outdoors to measure and plan for a den with a large enough area to hold the entire class. The wind only made the challenge more exiting!
Teamwork!
Working Hard on Mothering Sunday
Joe (Cwtch 5) has spent the first warm weekend of the year thinking of someone very special. Whilst sending cards and buying gifts is a very important tradition on Mothering Sunday, he wanted to go one step further. It's our pleasure to share this photo of him demonstrating strength, hard work and determination whilst getting the family garden ready to lay some additional lawn. His plan was to get as much done as possible in time for Mothers' Day. Fantastic work, Joe!

Amelia spent the weekend raising an amazing £650 for Macmillan Cancer Support. Those cakes look REALLY appetising!
We're so proud of Lloyd!
A message from Lloyd's mum:
Lloyd's “Bampa” has diabetes and has recently needed to undergo surgery due to the effects of diabetes. I started fundraising by completing a swimming challenge https://swim22.diabetes.org.uk/ where you swim the distance of the English Channel (22 miles) in 12 weeks. Lloyd asked if he could join me and set his target as 11 miles and to raise £110.
Together, we have both raised £330 and both have less than 3 miles each left to swim which we hope to complete by the end of next week. I’m really proud of Lloyds determination – he’s been a star, swimming in the sea on holiday to wrack up the metres. Last night we had swum 48 lengths which we know is half a mile and Lloyd said “come on Mum, I prefer round numbers, lets do 50 – every length counts”
I wanted to share this with you as I know you will be as proud as I am of Lloyd’s achievement.
