No Smoking Day
Tuesday, 9th of March was ‘No Smoking Day’. Year 2 and 3 learned the dangers of smoking and the effects that it has on our bodies. They designed posters to remind the community of the importance of not smoking. As we are a ‘healthy school’, the children have displayed some of the posters in the school gates.

The Fire Service
Lance from the fire service came to school to discuss fire safety. We had a story about Tanni who set his house on fire by accident. We also looked at photos of rooms in our homes and recognised the dangers in every photo. Some of the children got to wear a fireman suit.

Cooking Club

Mr Ali from Polash in Pwllheli came to the cooking club this week to cook Indian food with the children. We learned about the Muslim faith and compared it to the Christian faith. We then created some healthy vegetable samosas.

Carys Ofalus Visit

Carys Ofalus came to school to congratulate the children on their effort in walking to school during the summer term. She also discussed and reminded the children about road safety. The session was very interesting.

Celebrating 10 years of the ‘Clwb Dal i Fynd’
‘Clwb Dal i Fynd’ was celebrating their 10th birthday on the 3rd of July. As a healthy school which takes part in the scheme by running one mile every week to keep fit and healthy, we were eager to celebrate! The school council decided that every child would wear a fancy dress to come to school and pay £1 to raise money for the air ambulance. Everyone ran 1 mile through the village in their fancy dress. The school council managed to raise £43 towards the air ambulance charity and we all had fun keeping fit and healthy! Gareth Davies, Ioan (year 1) and Gwenan (year 3)’s father came to school to talk to the children about his experience when running a marathon in France this year. He explained the importance of keeping healthy by discussing eating healthily, drinking plenty of water and taking part in physical activities.

During the summer term, Year 2 and 3 have been taking part in various activities in the Leisure Centre. They all had the chance to take part in kayaking sessions, biking on the spinning bikes and climbing on the climbing wall. They had so much fun and worked very hard. Click here to see photos.
