Children in Need 2022
Thu 24 Nov 2022On Thursday 17th November the whole school celebrated Children in Need. All the children wore something yellow for Pudsey bear. In the weeks leading up to Children in Need, we had special assemblies learning about how Children in Need supports welsh young carers and the children's hospice Ty Hafan in Cardiff. There was fun across the school. Some classes made Pudsey bears from the coins they collected, others had penalty shoot outs and football fun and others designed posters for Pudsey and had fun in-class games. The school raised over £200 for Children in Need. Well done everyone! Bendigedig!
