9am 

A very quiet bunch this morning, they have loved their time in Arthog but they are also ready for home and their own beds.

They are going orienteering this morning then lunch after which they will be returning to school.Having packed and cleared up, we have just had final room inspection and we were awarded 11/10.  Even though she is Maths lead in school, Mrs Stowell is a bit confused by this mark, but very proud of her class.

The bus is due to leave Arthog at 1pm.  Mrs Stowell will confirm leaving time and approximate arrival time at school once they have left.

Last night's night-line exercise went very well.  Everyone faced some real fears and worked together as a team.

After a good night's sleep everyone was up and ready for whatever today gave them.

Among the activities the children did yesterday was a visit from some birds of prey and the climbing wall challenge.  As you can see, the weather continued to be really lovely which adds to the whole experience.   Mrs H Jones and Mrs C Jones are enjoying themselves too!

Free Furniture

We have several pieces of school furniture that we would love to go to a new home: one computer trolley, a coffee table and seven sponge chairs. Photographs of these items are shown here.  Please let the school office know if you would like them. If not collected before next Friday 17th they will be donated elsewhere.

The Crowning of Our Lady for the month of May

Thank you to all the children, families and parishioners that joined the school for our Procession on Wednesday. It was so lovely to join together to celebrate this sacred month. We conducted the procession from school into Church lead by Father Phillip and the children joined together for prayers and hymns. Thank you to our youngest pupil Lacey and our eldest Maks that carried the crown and crowned Our Lady. The flower display is now available in the school hall for all to enjoy, so please pop in and take a look.
