• The Big Battery hunt is back!

  Thu 05 Sep 2024 Kirsty Palmer

  Sketty School Battery Collection.

  We want your used batteries!

  Did you know each year in the UK we throw away around 600 million batteries? Laid end to end these batteries would reach from the UK to Australia and back again.

  Thousands of tonnes of CO2 emissions can be avoided if we increase battery recycling.

  Last year The Eco Committee launched a monthly competition to collect batteries and are keen to continue this year.

  We collected over 13,000 batteries that may otherwise have ended up in landfill. We registered with Duracell’s Big Battery Hunt, a nationwide recycling challenge that inspires pupils to power change across their schools and wider communities.

  “Showing children that small environmental actions, when taken collectively, can make a big difference is illustrated brilliantly by Duracell’s Big Battery Hunt.”Allison Ogden-Newton OBE, Chief Executive of environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy

   

  Please send in any used batteries with your child. Each classroom has a recycling box. At the end of each month, the Eco team will collect and count the batteries. The class that collects the most will receive a certificate and keep our ‘Eco Dewi Dragon’ with them for the month.

  Please support a great scheme that can help protect our environment.

• SIARTER IAITH WOBR ARIAN (SILVER AWARD)

  Wed 03 Jul 2024

  Today we had our assessment for the Siarter Iaith Silver Award (Wobr Arian). Mrs Jones and Mrs Griffiths from the Local Authority came into school to see the amazing work we have been doing. They met the Criw Cymraeg and visited all classrooms.
  
  We are delighted to announce we have successfully achieved the criteria for the Wobr Arian. Mrs Jones and Mrs Griffiths were so impressed by the children, the way they led the tour of the school and how enthusiastic everyone was about speaking Welsh. Special thanks to the Criw Cymraeg and Mrs Griffiths who has led our journey to Silver. We are one of a very small number of schools to have achieved this recognition.
  
  Llongyfarchiadau i bawb yn Ysgol Gynradd Sgeti.
  Congratulations to everybody in Sketty Primary School.
