Dear Parents/Guardians

 JUMP TO JUNIORS PARENTS MEETING (Year 2 to Year 3): This will take place on Wednesday 3rd July at 4pm and will be held in the School Hall for all current Year 2 parents.

 MAIN ENTRANCE – YEAR 3 TRANSFORMATION:   All parents/carers should have received a link (below) so that you can see how Blwyddyn 3 have transformed the main entrance to our school. You don’t need a Twitter account to view the video but if you do have one, the pupils would love it if you could like and retweet their video so that their important message about reusing plastics and looking after the environment can be spread far and wide!
