✨ Pili Pala enjoyed a magical afternoon of scientific discovery as they created colourful, bubbling potions! ✨ The pupils practised important fine motor skills through squeezing, pouring and using pipettes, while exploring what happened when different ingredients were mixed together. Their curiosity and enthusiasm shone throughout the session, leading to some wonderfully fizzy results! Well done, Pili Pala!

Important Update – Give and Gain Day Unfortunately, our Give and Gain Day, originally scheduled for this Friday, has been postponed due to the incoming storms and will now take place on Friday, 13th November. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. We look forward to welcoming everyone on the new date and making it a fantastic event.

✨ Our learners have been putting their driving skills into practice this week using the Drive Deck!✨ They have been enjoying the Free Drive Mode, where they confidently took control of moving forwards and backwards. It has been wonderful to see their concentration, determination and growing confidence as they developed their skills. We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved.

⭐️Outdoor Gym⭐️ As part of our health and wellbeing session, Dosbarth Blodau went to our local park and used the outdoor gym equipment. The pupils were brilliant at following instructions on how to use the different equipment appropriately and we discussed the safety factors and how these machines work to keep us fit and healthy as part of our Essential Engineering topic.

We are incredibly proud of our Sixth Form learners, who have worked tirelessly to create and publish their very own book, A Winter Adventure. Based on the theme of friendship between our two school sites, this wonderful story showcases not only their creativity but also their dedication and teamwork. Our learners spent a great deal of time producing a high-quality book, using their fantastic Canva skills to digitally enhance and create beautiful illustrations throughout.
