out crowds!! The concerts were a huge success and the children
thoroughly enjoyed the whole musical experience!
The concert involved both the nursery and reception children.
Key Stage 1.

The concert was a great success which was shown over two separate
days to sell out crowds! All the children took part in making
it a great success and a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

With monies raised we have fitted out a new quiet area for the
year one class and bought a sound system for the whole school.
We are always trying to raise money to improve the quality of
our school and would appreciate any new ideas!!
A notice board has been erected at the rear of the school to
inform parents of any events etc. coming up.
Summer fair has been arranged for the 4th July. Everyone
welcome.
School Logo Competition
During the Autumn term of 2002 the school ran a community competition
whereby anyone from the Gorseinon area could get involved. The
competition was to design a logo for our school. The competition
was sponsered by Lazagem (who we would like to thank) and we had
17 entries.
The winner was a Mr S Colinese who is a parent of one of our
children.
We would like to thank all those who took part to make it such
a success. We also appreciate the help from Mr Gary Hope who did
the graphics of the logo.
School Walking Bus
It has been discussed at a meeting by parents and the local safety
officer concerning a trial run of a school walking bus.
A pilot group is to be arranged to walk from Garden Village to
school to help ease the traffic congestion around the school entrance.
Voucher Collection
The school is currently involved in the ‘free art stuff
for schools’. The school also collects the Tesco vouchers
for computers which we have been doing for some time and have
been lucky enough to receive quite a few new computers!!
This year we collected 2300 computers
for school vouchers. Well done everyone!! |
