Dear Parents/Carers,
Thank you so much for joining in with Welsh Week. It was a delight to see so many children dressed in traditional Welsh costume on Wednesday and in house colours on Friday. I loved seeing the videos, photos and recipes that families made during the Half Term break – there were some delicious-looking cakes, biscuits and even cawl (soup) – well done Lakeside bakers! Thank you also for your generous donations to the Marie Curie Daffodil Appeal. We will share the total once the money has been counted by Marie Curie.
We had two excellent Eisteddfodau this week. The Reception to Year 2 Eisteddfod took place on Wednesday and the Years 3 to 6 had their Eisteddfod today. The hall was awash with the pupils’ house colours and there was singing, reciting, dancing and playing musical instruments.
Best wishes to all who are celebrating the Hindu festival of Holi on Wednesday. We hope you have a very pleasant festival of colour.
