Ysgol Bro Famau News

As always, we have been very busy at Ysgol Bro Famau.

As the weather improves we have been spending more time outside. Both our younger pupils and our Juniors have been planting trees in our outside areas and have been busy planting in our gardens. The Juniors also made birdfeeders to welcome birds into our natural environment. Our younger pupils have enjoyed learning all about bees in World Bee Day and how important they are to our world.

We have had a number of visitors including some Artists in Residence in the Junior department. The children used different techniques around the topic ‘Cynefin’. The children produced some magnificent pieces of artwork.

We also welcomed parents in to school during TASC week. The focus this time was architecture. There were some lovely examples of work and the parents were very impressed.

Jane also came to school as part of the ‘Come and Cook’ project. The children learnt all about healthy eating and how to prepare a balanced meal.

Parents of children in the Juniors were invited to spend a morning in Llanarmon to see how we teach Maths

We decided again this year to have our Sports Day before half term as the weather isn’t as hot. The Junior children took their role of designing an obstacle course very seriously and it was particularly challenging this year. We had a great morning and the children enjoyed taking part in their activities watched by their parents and grandparents. We were visited by Estyn at the beginning of May. We were very pleased with the result and the report will be out at the beginning of July. Many thanks to pupils, parents staff and Governors for all their hard work and support.
