Ski update

Traffic is pretty bad at the moment and the driver has had to stop for his 45min break. New estimated time of arrival 3.45pm to 4pm.

Skiers Homeward Bound

The Skiers have had a smooth return journey and have just docked at Dover. They are expected at Penygawsi for approximately 2.15pm and then Pontyclun for 3pm.

PLEASE NOTE - these times are liable to change due to traffic as the driver must stop for 45mins after driving for 4 1/2hrs regardless of proximity to destination. Should this happen we will update accordingly.

Looking forward to hearing all about it.

Non-school uniform day

The pupils are welcome to come into school in non-school uniform for Friday 27th March as it is the last day of term.

Wishing you all a Happy Easter.

Spectacular Skiing Once Again!

❄️⛄️❄️ Skiing Madness ❄️⛄️❄️

The children have had a fabulous day today; they have had a blast! We were up at the crack of dawn to be down for breakfast and on the slopes for 9.30am! Once we met our instructors we were off; no stopping us today! 

All groups have progressed very well today and each and every teacher is very impressed and proud of the efforts made by all the children. By the end of the day ever single child had skied down a particular part of the mountain which is an incredible achievement. Well done everyone, awesome job!

We have had a lovely evening meal where we sang a BIG Penblwydd Hapus to Lowri who is 11 today. It is safe to say she has had a birthday to remember!

Swimming tonight and then an early night ready for a jam packed day on the slopes tomorrow. It is sad to think it is our last night at this beautiful resort however it has been a wonderful trip and a good time has been had by all!

Take a look at today's fun; the smiles on the children's faces says it all!

We are looking forward to more skiing tomorrow. We will update before leaving tomorrow evening.

Many Thanks

A Successful Day Of Skiing

Today has been a great day. The children were up early for breakfast ready to be on the bus for 9.00am to be at the slopes by 9.30! The pupils enjoyed their first day on the slopes. It was a giggle to watch each other put our boots and skis on for the first time.

Once up on the slopes we met our ski instructors for the week and were put into our groups.  The children may not have been with their best mates but they didn't complain, they just got on with learning to ski. The pupils worked extremely hard and by the end of the day's session almost everyone had mastered the snow plough! Many skied down their first slope and were extremely proud of their efforts and achievements, as were the teachers.

The top group did extremely well and even managed a small session on a black run! They will be pros before we know it! It is fair to say the children have had a blast and we can not wait for tomorrow to do it all again.

This evening we have come bowling and the children are enjoying a small competition with groups before our annual roll off challenge. Will the winners be Pontyclun or Penygawsi? Only time will tell.

Take a look at today's events...

As you can see we have had a wonderful day. More to come tomorrow.  Have a good evening!

Tour off to a great start

Since arriving in Austria the year 6 team have had a hectic day. Between unpacking, tobogganing, ski fit, a three course evening meal, Austrian dancing and yodelling the children are now completely worn out and ready for a good night's sleep (as are the teachers).

Tomorrow we shall be on the slopes by 9.15 ready to ski. Take a look at today's events...
