And finally, we would like to share the details of an exciting new project that we will shortly be introducing in Years 5 & 6!
We have received a grant of £780.00 from Wrexham LEA to purchase six new Nintendo DS Consoles and software to help the children with brain training, mathematics, English and problem solving. The teachers have been testing the consoles out at home and are already addicted!
A big Thank you to John & Glenys Taylor (Fabwell Engineering) for sponsoring us! We have already ordered the new tracksit for our football/netball teams to wear. They will look so good now! Without the generous support of John & Glenys we would not have been able to purchase such a treat. Hopefully the team tracksuit and our new football strip for the Infants will be available to view on Parents' Evening. Come and have a look!
