8 of our Year 3 & 4 pupils took part in the Swansea Schools Tennis Team Competetition in the LC2. They came 3rd out of 6 schools, with Jayden & Martha winning all of their games.

Criw Cymraeg’s message prepared us well for our ‘Day of Culture & Dialogue’ where we celebrated that we are all different, but all made equal in the eyes of God.
Pupils wore their national costumes or colours from their home flags. Everyone was very colourful and looked beautiful. We are all very proud of our home nations.
Wednesday was National Bee Day, and we all learnt about how important it is to improve the conditions for bee survival so that bees and other pollinators may thrive. Without bees, we couldn’t grow crops and flowers.
A huge thank you to Criw Cymraeg and Mrs Weaver for their PAG assembly on Thursday for telling us about Urdd’s 105th year of Peace & Goodwill message, declaring that “peace speaks every language.
School Council led a PAG (Pupil Action Group) Assembly to launch Mental Health Week. A big thank you to Mrs James for organising Mental Health Awareness Day. Pupils wore green and there were lots of fun wellbeing activities in all classes.
To honour Our Lady during her special month of May, we had a May procession and crowning of Our Lady at St Benedict’s' after Ascension Thursday Mass. We usually crown Our Lady in the school yard. However, the weather was forecast to be very wet, so Years 1–6 went to Mass, and Nursery & Reception had their own special procession and crowning at school.
We all brought in our rosaries to say a decade of the rosary, and we brought flowers to lay at Our Lady's statues.
A big thank you to Miss Marie for making the beautiful crown.
Yr 6 had their residential last week at Borfa House, Port Eynon. The weather wasn’t great, but they had a great time together surfing, learning Bush crafts etc. A huge thank you to Mr Maddock, Miss Fran & Miss Sharon for giving up their time to enable the pupils to go
Our Year 3 and 4 boys’ football teams took part in an exciting festival held at Pure Football Swansea, competing against over 50 teams from across the area.

A huge thanks to Mrs Morgan for organising these lunchtime walks.
Last week was Years 5 & 6 and this week Years 3 & 4.
The Eco Committee and Mrs Morgan organised a fantastic Eco Day on Friday 8th May to celebrate Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday. Each class studied an animal related to Sir David Dvaid's work and showcased it in the hall in the afternoon for everyone to see. There were also litter picks and outside learning going on. A huge thanks to Mrs Morgan for all of her hard work. We all wore green, thought about how our own actions could save the planet, and we had lots of fun!
We all enjoyed Image Theatre’s ‘Dr Dolittle.’ It’s lovely to see a play and experience the Expressive Arts together. Thank you to the parents who contributed towards the cost.
