Reception had an awesome morning! The children were greeted by some endangered animals, some they will never experience by visiting a zoo.
We had the pleasure of meeting a Bearcat, Agouti, a parrot, and a baby tortoise. The keepers gave us information about their habitat, and how they survive. Even the staff were excited!
Llongyfarchiadau to our ⭐️ this week.
Diolch yn fawr!
Thank you to our year 4 representatives, they have spent Fridays after lunchtime working with the Reception Class. They have read Welsh books, played Welsh bingo and completed some Welsh activities.
Mae hi’n amser hyfryd!
Wow! What a busy week.

look at the pictures to see the fun!
