Thank you, Thank You,
Thank you!
Dear
Parents/ Guardians,
We
would like to thank everyone from the school community for the amazing response
to our fundraising day last Friday. We were incredibly proud and moved by the
care shown by pupils, parents and staff towards one of our Reception pupils who
is poorly in hospital. A fantastic amount was raised – £1,300!!!
Pupils
enjoyed wearing odd socks, our ‘Singathon,’ baking cakes and Zumba - Thank you
Mrs. Sanson-Regan!!
We
would also like to extend our thanks to Ian and his team from Tesco’s who very generously donated an ipad, an
ipad cover and £25 worth of iTunes
vouchers.
All
those who donated money, brought in gifts and messages will be pleased to hear
that it put a huge smile on our brave little girl’s face and her family wish to
express their gratitude for everybody’s support.
Many
thanks to you all JJ

Penalty Shoot Out
Over the last 5
years we have worked closely with Cardiff City Football Club’s “Football In The
Community” scheme. This year they delivered a free six week football and health
course to Year 1, provided the school with footballs and training bibs and now
they wish to help us to raise some valuable school funds. They will be visiting
our School on June 26th and 27th and invite all pupils, years 1 to
6, to take part in a sponsored penalty shoot out. Last year we raised over
£1800 which we used to purchase ICT equipment in the Foundation Phase and Key
Stage 2.
NB: Please note
that different year groups are taking part on different days: All sponsorship
will be for taking part in the shoot out and not per goal. Pupils
are asked to bring any sponsorship money with them on the day that they take
part in the shoot out.
Year 1, Year 2, Year 3 = Thursday 26th June
Year 4, Year 5, Year 6 = Friday 27th June
I have attached dates
for your diary overleaf to keep you updated on school activities for the rest
of the summer term.
Thank you for your
support as ever,
Mr. Llewellyn
