The last few weeks have been very busy for the children at Narberth CP School with lots of different activities held.

QUALITY MARK RENEWAL

The school was successful in obtaining the renewal of the Quality Mark standard for delivery of Basic Skills in the school.

RUGBY

A number of Year 3 pupils, both boys and girls, took place in the County Rugby Tournament at Haverfordwest. They all thoroughly enjoyed the day.

ECO CLUB

Members of this club have again been busy. They manned a plant stall at the Big Plant Sale held in the school playground. Some of the members have recycled wooden palettes to make tables for the school garden. This area has provided a quiet area for the children at playtimes where they can enjoy a quiet chat with their friends, or read books etc. A variety of planters have been filled to enhance the school grounds. An enjoyable visit took place to Mrs. Bryant's garden in Llawhaden. This was thoroughly enjoyed by all the members.

LAUNCH OF NEW BOOK

Mr. Chris Stephens, author of 'Wartime Stories', visited the school and talked to the children about this new publication.

The official launch of the book took place in school and the school choir sang a medley of wartime songs in English and in Welsh.

Mr. Stephen signed the book for a number of children. During the term the pupils in the junior classes have been studying the Second World War as their history project.

We have been fortunate to have a number of evacuees from the Second World War visit the school and share their experiences with the children.

DYDD EWYLLS DA - MESSAGE OF PEACE AND GOODWILL

A special assembly was held on this day when the message of Peace and Goodwill to all the other countries was read out in seven different languages: Cymraeg - Hannah and James; English - Hannah and Lauren; French - Esther, Katie, Sion and Josh; Dutch - Mrs. Bryant; Spanish - Tao; Tongan - Lupe.

The background of the message and prayers were read by Emlyn, Francesca and Jay.

SCIENCE

Two days full of scientific experiments have been enjoyed by all the classes - the main focus was plants for pupils in the infants classes and electricity for KS2 pupils.

THEATRE VISIT

Pandemonium Theatre visited the school and performed two excellent productions: 'Just So' for pupils in KS1 and 'Victorian Times' for KS2 pupils. These were much enjoyed by everyone.

BINGO NIGHT

A successful Bingo Night at the RAOB Club was organised by Ffrindiau Ysgol Arberth.

YEAR 6 LEAVERS

During the past few weeks, the Year 6 pupils have been busy with their SATs tests. They have also enjoyed visits to their Secondary Schools - Ysgol y Preseli, Ysgol Dyffryn Taf, Greenhill School and Sir Thomas Picton School.

Mr. Dave Ainsworth has worked with all the Year 6 pupils on a drama production called 'Advertisements' - they thoroughly enjoyed this activity and benefited greatly from the experience.

URDD SPORTS

A number of pupils took part in the recent Urdd Area Sports which were held at Narberth. The successful children were awarded with their certificates at one of the school assemblies.

BIRDS OF PREY

A visit was made by the Birds of Prey Centre at Cardigan. A number of birds were on display and some of the children held the different birds and lots of information was gathered by the variety of questions asked.

VISIT BY THE RENEWABLE ENERGY MOBILE UNIT

This mobile unit visited the school. A presentation on Climate Change was given and this was followed by a practical activity in the mobile unit.
