Dear Parents/Carers,

Looking forward to welcoming you all to the PTA Summer Fayre today.  Thank you for all the fabulous donations of food, books, chocolate and other lovely things.  The sun is shining for us and it will be a wonderful afternoon!  Thank you to the PTA and to everybody involved in making this event possible.

Years 3 to 6 Sports Day

Children enjoyed an exciting Sports Day this week.  Thank you as always to the National Indoor Athletic Centre for allowing us to use their outstanding facilities.  Our Lakeside athletes had a really great time.

We are looking forward to our final Sports Day of this year as Nursery children take part in their own competitions next Friday morning and afternoon.

Transition Day: Monday 10^th July

Pupils moving to Cardiff High School in September will spend a second Transition Day there on Monday.  This will also be Lakeside’s Transition Day.  Pupils in Reception to Year 5 should come into school as normal and go to their current classes to take the register.  They will then be taken to spend time in their new year groups, looking at the classrooms, dining hall, playgrounds, toilets, etc.

Next year’s classes

The table below shows who will be your child’s class teacher in September, when pupils return to school on Wednesday 6^th September.

Bronwen’s Wish Charity

Some of you may have noticed that there is preparation work being carried out in our Forest Schools area.  This is the beginning of work on our Wellbeing Pod, developed by the Bronwen’s Wish Charity.  We are looking forward to the progress and completion of this exciting project, and will keep you updated.

See you all at the Fayre!

Rachel Mitchell, Headteacher
