Football Success

A huge well done to the football teams that took part in the New Directions' Football tournament. Both teams played excellent football in the right spirit. The girls made it to the semi final before losing to the eventual winners 1-0. The boys won their tournament (on penalties in the final). Well done to both teams you played amazingly well (both teams only conceding 1 goal all day), you are a credit to the school with your attitudes and sportsmanship.

 
 

World Book Day

World book day at Pontyclun Primary School is always a great occasion in the school calendar. We dress up as our favourite book characters, swap books and celebrate our love of reading.

St. David's Day 2012

Every St. David's day at Pontyclun Primary School is celebrated via an inter-house school Eisteddfod. Here is a snapshot of the day, and the event winners.

Yr 3 Visit to Castell Henllys

Dear Parents

Mr LLewellyn has just contacted us to say that they are now expecting to be back at the school premises at approximately 4.45 p.m. and not 4.30 p.m. as originally stated.

Please can you not park outside the library area as the bus will need renough space to park so that the children can safely alight from the bus.

Thank you for your continuing co-operation.

Miss S Harwood

Eisteddfod Poems

To all pupils,

As our St. David's day Eisteddfod is fast approaching Mrs. Davies has posted an example of the Eisteddfod poems on the year 6 blog. Any children wishing to use this example to help them with their preparation please click here .

St. David's Day Photographs

Today the children  in the infants dressed in traditional costume for the Pontypridd Observer's photographer. These photographs will be printed in the newspaper over the next few weeks. Unfortunately, this year the newspaper only wished to photograph the infant children at our school. Nevertheless, many of our juniors dressed in Welsh colours and costumes for the day. 

Please remember that next Thursday we would encourage every child in the school to once again wear traditional costumes or red tops for our St. David's Day Eisteddfod. This year, parents are invited to get involved in the Eisteddfod.  At 6pm on St. David's Day (1st March), a number of children will be reciting poetry (Welsh and English), singing and dancing for parents who wish to come along and be entertained. Children who win writing competitions will have their work on display for parents to read.  

 

Just before half term, a group of music teachers from secondary schools all over RCT came together to encourage children in primary schools to take up instruments. Our children loved the experience and were totally enthused by the band. A huge thank you to the organisers of the event and particularly to the band members who entertained years 1-6 during the morning.  I am sure that the event will only further encourage our children to join our school orchestra with Mrs. Lewis.

The time, venue etc will be the same as today's arrangements.

Thank you for your continuing support.
