Holiday club

I have been asked by several parents if the school can provide a club during the holidays where pupils can attend and participate in sporting and other fun activities. The Cambrian Village Trust is able to provide this service at an affordable price. We have been able to arrange a "taster day" for the Junior pupils on Monday 11th March. Following this I will be writing to parents outlining the itinerary for the day, charging policy and asking for expressions of interest. I hope that this club will run initially from 9.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m. on Monday 25th March and if successful we can look at extending the provision to include extra days and involve the Foundation Phase pupils.

Calendar update

There are updates on the school calendar on the Gelli Primary Moodle site , please check it regularly as there is a great deal of activities that are planned for the remainder of the term and these will be placed here and communicated to parents by text.

Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus

Today is March 1st, where we celebrate the life of our Patron saint, Dewi Sant or Saint David by holding an Eisteddfod to bring together all the cultures of Wales, singing, dancing, reciting poetry and writing. The pupils have prepared a class item to perform and we have been holding writing competitions. This year we will see the first Eisteddfod Chair being presented and the fist installation of "Bardd Y Gelli".
Over the weekend we will post videos and photographs on to the blog to show you what's went on.
