Another busy week at Waunarlwydd Primary School as we approach the end of a great year.

Highlight of the week has to be the Summer Fair. The weather forecast kept us on our toes but I hope you’ll all agree it was definitely worthwhile going ahead. It was wonderful to see so many members of the school community supporting the school and the children, who will benefit greatly from the funds raised. Money is still being collected (we will announce the grand total next week) but we are heading towards an eye catching total, which will make a big difference to the pupils of Waunarlwydd. A huge thanks to all the parents and families for supporting the event and, of course, our amazing PTA. The amount of work that went into organising the Summer Fair before, during and after the event was incredible and we are extremely lucky to have such an active and forward thinking group of volunteers. Huge thanks, again, to all involved. Remember, if you would like to get involved in the PTA, just let us know!

The next PTA led event will be a pre-loved uniform sale on Thursday 11th July. If you have any uniform (in good condition and clean please) that you would like to donate, drop it in to school. Diolch!

Other highlights this week have included our sponsored bounce, Technocamps competition and Enterprise celebration. Our Year 6 are looking forward to their transition week at Gowerton next week and have been busy preparing for their leavers’ production led by Director Williams. We are in for a treat! We’ve also had school photos taken today and we will let you know how to order copies asap.

We’ve got another busy week ahead next week with us all hoping for good weather on Friday so that our long-awaited whole school beach trip can go ahead. Fingers crossed!
