There seems to be an awful lot of interesting things going on, in school, at the moment, and we’ve not even reached the Christmas rush, yet!
Reception class have been up in Pwllycrochan Woods in search of ‘The Gruffalo’, whilst Year 1 have been to Llandudno Library looking for Alice in Wonderland. Year 5 have been learning to play rugby with Wales International and Colwyn Bay 1st team coach, Rachel Taylor. A team of Year 5/6 pupils, then, competed in a local Tag Rugby Tournament. Year 6 returned from 3 days of outdoor adventure in Nant BH and went to visit the WWII Museum in Llandudno. We received an email from the museum praising the pupils on their manners, behaviour and enthusiasm for learning. Years 5 and 6 have been swimming every day this week and will be doing the same again next week. There has been a mixed response to this new Conwy initiative, from tired pupils, staff and parents! The school choir have been getting ready to sing in local nursing homes, down in the town centre and at our Carol Service. They’ll need plenty of space as choir is proving very popular, this year. Mini-Vinnies and the new school GIFT team are up and running and planning how to put faith into action in making a difference in school and in the wider community. Finally, Year 5 and 6 pupils have been taking part in drumming workshops with local musician, Carol Thomas. They will be leading the ‘Colwyn Bay Christmas Parade’ on Friday 30th November, which will end with the switching on of the town’s Christmas lights. All this and we haven’t even mentioned the preparations for our biggest ever Christmas Fair!

 All across the country, budgets for vital services are being cut. At the same time, we are becoming increasinlgy aware of a growing mental health crisis affecting our young people.
For the last 3 years, we have employed a Play Therapist, who carries out vital work in meeting the wide ranging and, often, complex needs of many of our vulnerable learners. This support has been vital for our school, for families and most of all, for the young people themselves. As further cuts will be introduced in April it is highly likely that, without any other funding sources, this service will have to end. If this happens, children will no longer access the specialist help they need, to allow them to grow into happy, healthy and successful adults. This is WRONG. On Sunday 28th April 2019, I will be running the London Marathon to raise money to help pay for this vital service. Please support my efforts so that our children can continue to receive the help they need. Please click here to help. Thank you Mr J Wilkinson  Today, in our afternoon assembly, we observed a minute’s silence.
We prayed for all people, in the past and today, affected by war. One hundred years since the ‘war to end all wars’, we thought about all who have suffered and those who continue to suffer, because of conflicts, across the globe. Thank you to all who contributed to our poppy display. |
