Wow, what a wonderful couple of weeks! We certainly returned to school following half-term in style! Last week, we celebrated all things Welsh with our belated St. David's Day. It was a wonderful day, with the undoubted highlight being our whole school Eisteddfod where we celebrated the achievements of our incredible children. In a sea of red we, once again, saw what a talented bunch we are at Waunarlwydd with some amazing art, poetry, music and much more! A special thanks to our superb 'Criw Cymraeg' for organising the day! Gwaith wych pawb!

Also last week, the school was filled with all sorts of story characters as we celebrated 'World Book Day'. The children loved visiting other classes to share and read books and complete activities with older and younger friends. Wonderful to see! Thanks to our incredible PTA, the whole school attended Waunarlwydd's very own 'Mad Hatter's Tea Party', full of music, games and yummy food! Bringing the whole school together in such an imaginative way resulted in a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable occasion for all, especially the children. A superb day full of smiles! 

To top off a superb week, our Year 1, 2 and 3 classes spent last Friday learning all about life in Cardiff Castle on their trip. Children, staff and volunteers thoroughly enjoyed and, once again, the children did us all proud with their manners and behaviour!

Along with amazing learning and laughter throughout the school, this week has also seen some great successes on the sporting fields. On Tuesday our rugby team took part in a round robin with Gowerton, Penclawdd and Cwmrhydyceirw school. The team played some fantastic rugby and did themselves proud with their attitude and team spirit. Gwaith Wych! On Wednesday, it was the turn of our cross-country team to take part in the final event of the term. During a tough 2K run, our boys and girls showed tremendous determination in finishing the course in style, showing great improvement over the 3 events. They should be very proud!
