National Road Safety Week and the Gelli, Ystrad, Ton Pentre and Pentre project

This week is National Road Safety week and our Junior Road Safety Officers are invited to the launch of the project in Gelli, Ystrad, Ton Pentre and Pentre at the Gelli Bowls Club in Gelli Park.

Our aim is to bring to the attention of motorists how dangerous travelling at speed is in and around our village.

Here is a timetable of events to attend if you are available.

We are grateful to the organisers and sponsors for their support

Look out for more tweets and posts from the activities this week.

Remembrance Day commemorated at 11 am this morning

Cerys and Evie wrote this poem for Remembrance Day following our school assembly when we remembered those who had lost their lives in the two world wars and other conflicts.

Our Poppy Poem

Our lives have changed,

We can still stand up tall,

And still volunteer to save Britain,

As we are pure-hearted.

As people in our lives have passed away,

And we are always thinking about them,

They risked their lives for us and other people,

And we thank them a lot.

Mrs Flanary Davies played "The Last Post" and "Revallie" while Mr Jones read out the poem "For the Fallen" by Laurence Binyon.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.



The winner of the role model cup in Year 5 this week is ......

Llongyfarchiadau Charlie - Congratulations
