Wacky Day

A slight error in diary planning meant Comic Relief, Science Week and a Family Sharing Assembly collided. The result? Wacky Science Hair Assembly Day. It was busy.

The day featured a wide range of exciting Science activities, with pupils rotating around various classrooms (more pictures to follow). Our staff were joined by Science staff from Ysgol Eirias and Mr O’Kelly, a school Governor and retired surgeon, in planning and delivering learning to celebrate National Science Week.

Of course there was also a variety of interesting hairstyles and wigs on display (pupils and staff), as we celebrated Wacky Hair Day for Comic Relief. Thank you for all your donations - we will let you know how much was raised asap.

Finally, in the afternoon, we opened our doors (eventually) for a first Family Sharing Assembly since before CoVID struck. There were queues around the corner to see each class share a small part of their week’s learning. The highlights (as is often the case) were the sheer joy on so many pupil and parent faces plus the confidence of our young people (big and small) to perform in front of an audience. Thank you to all who joined us and to the PTA for refreshments afterwards. If pupil voice says ‘yes’, we’ll have another one very soon!

So, we might not have planned to pack so much into one day, but it certainly felt worthwhile at 3.30pm. A big thank you, tonight, to a rather tired staff team.
