• Dementia Friendly Swansea Pin Badge Design Competition

  Fri 07 Jun 2024 Miss Lewis

  Article 2 - Everyone has rights.

  Article 29 - Education must encourage a child's respect for children's rights.

   

  Dementia Friendly Swansea is a charity helping raise awareness of Dementia across the Swansea NPT Region. They have just launched a new awareness information session called Dementia Aware and are providing pin badges to all attendees.

   

  Our Y6SW pupils were invited to enter the Dementia Friendly Swansea Pin Badge Design Competition. The entries were judged by residents of care homes and attendees of the information sessions and a winner was selected.

   

  Well done to all the children who entered the competition. We are proud to announce that the winning design is from Lottie Saunders Y6SW. Congratulations Lottie!

   

  We look forward to seeing Lottie’s badge design made and then shared by the charity Dementia Friendly Swansea throughout Swansea to continue to raise awareness and provide support to people and families living with Dementia.

• National Children's Gardening Week Photography Competition

  Mon 27 May 2024 Kirsty Palmer

  National Children's Gardening Week takes place over half term. The aim of the project this year is to inspire children's curiosity.

  Tomorrow the Eco Committee will be launching a photography competition in assembly. They would like you to send photos to your child's class teacher to celebrate gardening week. 

  It could be a photo of your child or they could be taking the photos themselves- the committee will judge accordingly.

  It could be a photo of the children working in the garden- digging, weeding, planting or tending. It could be a photo of them helping a parent or grandparent in the garden or allotment.

  It could be a photo of something they have already grown.

  It could also be a photo of them making bird food, hanging a homemade bird feeder or creating a bug hotel. It could even be a photo of the wildlife your garden attracts.

  If you haven't got a garden it could be growing something inside or you could visit a local park or garden with the family and get the children photographing some of the amazing plants and flowers on show there.

  The Eco Committee will be judging  the photographs the week beginning 10th June with the winners being announced in assembly and prizes given. 

  Children can bring their photo into their class teacher or dojo/email them in.

  Thank you for your support.

A big thank you to Mrs Miller for leading this project and the School of Sanctuary committee who were justifiably praised for their hard work. We hope you enjoy reading about our lovely school and the wonderful experiences the children have.
