The children are all ready for their last day at Glan Llyn.  Today they will be bowling and on the climbing wall.   The sun is out, the sky is blue, the lake is gorgeous and no-one wants to leave!!   But the bus should back on time for a 3.15pm collection.

High ropes this morning followed by lake trip where some of the children (and Mrs Rose) got to drive the boat. 
The children are a credit to the school with their behaviour and team spirit. 

08.05.17:  Everyone arrived safely early today and are now settling in.  Already they have been busy, with Archery and Orienteering Sessions.   Only two pictures this time but more will be posted as they are received.  We hope that the good weather continues so they can make the most of their surroundings.

We will update this news item each day so please keep checking.

After a busy first day, the children snuggled down in their sleeping bags for a film night.   

We were delighted to see how many parents, carers and parishioners joined us today as the children processed behind the statue of Our Lady and then presented flowers as she was crowned. 

We thank you for the support you continue to give our school and community.

Despite the damp weather the sponsored Crocus Walk took place today in Cae Glas Park and all our children participated to raise funds for Oswestry Rotary Club's End Polio Now Campaign.  The school raised £256 and we are very grateful to everyone who sponsored our children.

The Hat Competition resulted in some interesting hats with Wamboi, Alex (St Francis), Samarth, Alex (St Martins), Toby and Bryn being declared winners.    

Thank you too to the band of volunteers whose support ensured we were able to make this a whole school event.

Mr Ian Haigh, President of Oswestry Rotary Club visited school to present Usborn Illustrated Dictionaries to each class today.   Daisy Nash from St Francis Class and Jake Milner from St Martins Class received these on behalf of the School.

Mrs O'Dwyer thanked Mr Haigh and his fellow Rotarians not only for these dictionaries but also for the ongoing support the Club gives to the School.

A group of our parents led by Mrs Gambrell and Mrs Rothera are currently working on a project to renovate the pond area.   This is being linked in with advice from various organisations and a bid to the Big Lottery Fund.    It is hoped that the area will be used to support teaching in school but also as a community resource for other schools and organisations.

At the moment, a lot of tidying up has been done and the team have put together the funding bid.  The attached plan has been prepared for us by Mr Porritt and we are very excited about the opportunities this project can give.

A small copy of the proposed plan is shown below, a larger, colour version will be on display in school next term.

We would like to thank everyone who is contributing their time and efforts towards this project.
