Our whole school RE topic this half-term is 'Creation & Covenant. Nursery have been learning about being stewards, (to manage, protect, or care for something that belongs to someone else) looking after God's world.
Cerdd NPT Music Peri Roadshow is an annual live music tour by peripatetic music staff who perform orchestral and band pieces for secondary and primary school pupils across Neath Port Talbot. Our Years 5 & 6 went to St Joseph's Comprehensive, Port Talbot, to take part in this for the third year.
Year 3 had a great trip around the Mond Nickel Works. They are working on the 'Essential Question'–
"How has the Mond changed Clydach and the people that live/d here."
Croeso/Welcome back to everyone. We are looking forward to a fun-packed term full of living, learning and growing!
Big thank you to Councillor Matthew Bailey, who arranged for free ice creams for every pupil, as an end of year treat. They were very much appreciated on a hot, sunny end-of-term day.
Years 3 – 6 had 'Engagement Days' cricket sessions this week with Cricket Wales. They really enjoyed themselves and learnt lots.

Last Friday saw us celebrating our 29th annual 'Sunflower Dayto raise money for the 'South West Wales Cancer Unit, Singleton Hospital.' This year we were 'At the Movies' and had great fun with songs from Trolls, Hotel Transylvania, Minions, High School Musical, Shrek, Zootropolis and Sing. All the classes looked fantastic in their costumes and sang and danced brilliantly. A huge thank you to all of our parents, carers, grandparents and other members of our school family who came and supported us and enjoyed the afternoon. Thanks also to Shaun who sang and played guitar for us – he is a fantastic musician and so glad that, as a past pupil, he shares his talents with us. Well done to Daniel, Beatrice, Matthew and Donte who won in the sunflower growing competition.
With ticket sales, selling sunflowers to grow and ice creams and lollies and a raffle with prizes donated by parents and local businesses, we raised an amazing £2.500!
Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 had their first long trip away this week. They went on a summer adventure to Manor Wildlife Park near Tenby. They saw lots of animals and had great fun on the bus and in the park. A huge thank you to all the staff and helpers who made the day possible.
Years 3–6 had a great summer trip to Heatherton Adventure Park this week. It was very hot and very busy, but they made the most of all of their time and enjoyed being with their friends. Thanks to all the staff for organising the day and for keeping everyone safe.
We had a wonderful time we had at Bishop Vaughan's 60th Anniversary Concert this week. There were all kinds of acts there – singers, dancers, actors and all of them were past BV pupils. The stars of the show, however, were our Year 4 pupils who snag their hearts out for their 3 songs. The children made us adults cry with pride. We are so thankful to the parents who took their children to be part of this cluster celebration and a huge thank you to Mrs James, Mrs Weaver and Miss Julie for organising our contribution.
It was very hot in school on Wednesday – we had to find lots of ways to cool down!
