Take a look at what we've been up to!

• The Grand Opening Day

  Thu 27 Jun 2024 Evie, Adam, Imi and Aisha

  The big day finally arrived! Our new build was opened and we had a special day to celebrate.

   

  On the opening day we got to do lots of exciting activities around the school with lots of teachers, such as roasting marshmallows. We sang some campfire songs, then we sang some Matilda songs and danced. We painted rocks to decorate the new courtyard area, we made jewellery in Dosbarth, we drew our school logo onto necklaces and coloured it in. Following that, we played games outside, we went on bikes, played noughts and crosses and swing ball. 

   

  Everybody then gathered for a huge celebration full of songs and performances from both the children and Mr Murphy's choir. The new build was then declared open!

   

  

• Year 4 and 6 Camp Out!

  Thu 27 Jun 2024 Heather, Gracie, Teddie, Alisha-Leigh and Imaya

  There was a very special occasion on June 21st! Pentyrch Primary held our first ever camp out. Year 4 and Year 6 took part and here is what they did!

   

  Firstly, Year 4 and 6 walked up the Garth mountain and had lunch up the Garth. It took about an hour to walk up the mountain. The Garth is a mountain in Pentyrch. Once at the top, they played games and even rolled down the hills (some landed in cow poop!)

   

  When they got back to school, the children had biscuits and squash and pitched their tents. They played fun games like rounders and other field games. They also roasted marshmallows and sang songs around the campfire in the log circle.

   

  Carol had made some delicious pasta for dinner which they ate outside. Late in the night, they sang camp songs and went bat-hunting. Bedtime was at 10pm (there was not a lot of sleep!)

   

  It's safe to say they had a fantastic time and we can't wait to do it all again next year!  

  

• Hazel's 50th Year as a Lollipop Lady Celebrations

  Thu 27 Jun 2024 Lucy, Jack, Bella & Amelia

  On the 10th June, we gathered together to celebrate a very special occasion. Hazel, our lollipop lady, has worked 50 years helping children cross the roads safely. Here is what we did!

   

  • First the school put some big balloons outside the school. Then the amazing Hazel walked in with her husband, and she took a seat at the front of the school hall whilst listening to music from the 1970s. 

  • Some of the year 6s said some fantastic poems about the 1970s. 

  • After that the year 5s talked about interesting lollipop lady history. 

  • Then the year 4s said about who won the amazing Eurovision in the 1970s (which was Sweden, and they sang Waterloo by Abba) and they told us how much things cost in the 1970s (if you knew you would be surprised). 

  • Next the year 3s asked Hazel some mind-blowing questions about her job like 'tell us about the time you saved 2 children from a burning car.' 

  • Following that the year 2s said some thank yous to Hazel for helping us to cross safely. 

  • Next the Reception/Nursery children sang a song called 'The Lollipop Lady' to Hazel.

  • Finally, we gave Hazel some presents for keeping us safe and for doing her job for 50 years whether it is raining or the sun was shining, she is always outside helping us cross the road safely! Thank you, Hazel!
