Radio Carmarthenshire Young Achiever Awards

Mon 27 Oct 2014

We have some fantastic new. Two of our pupils won Young Achiever Awards at Radio Carmarthenshire's Gala event last Friday.

Morgan Beckett in year 4 won the Child of Courage Award sponsored by Olympic Wales.

Klaudia Piesecka who has just gone to secondary school this September won the outstanding progress award sponsored by Teaching elite and Intro-teach.

The school nominated these pupils and we are extremely proud of their achievements.

Mr Stevenson and Mrs Williams represented the school on the night.

Mr Stevenson was quoted, “Morgan is a super lad who is brave, determined and often dismisses support as he can ‘do it himself’. He recently had a nasty tumble when using his tricycle which resulted in him breaking his arm, he didn’t shed a tear and continued to smile through it all. He is a truly outstanding young person who is always happy and is very courageous in his attitude”.

About Klaudia Mr Stevenson said, “Neither she or her family spoke a word of English when she joined in year 4. Clearly joining a class so late in the primary years was going to be stressful. Slowly, she began to pick up words and phrases (including some welsh ones!). Two years later, when it was time for her to leave Primary school for secondary school she was a fluent in English and excelled in all subjects, including Welsh. She certainly stood apart as being the child that made the best progress.”

The Wonders of Llanelli

Tue 07 Oct 2014

Over the past two days years 5 and 6 have been visiting various places around Llanelli as a part of their project on Our Wonderful World. On Monday they walked to Parc Howard, Llanelly House, St Elli Church, the Eastgate and various other places in town.

Today they continued their visits to various sites around Llanelli. They first visited Stradey Castle thanks to a guided tour by Claire Mansel-Lewis. They then walked five miles from Sandy Water Park to Penclacwydd looking at North Dock, Machynys Golf Course and the cycle path. Finally they called in Parc y Scarlets.

This will help them with their presentations on the last week of half term where they will present "The Wonders of Llanelli."

Well done years 5 and 6, your behaviour was excellent in every place we visited.
