Festive Fun 2023

Thu 21 Dec 2023

Take part in our Goodwill Campaign

Wed 06 Dec 2023

As we move into December, our value of the month changes to ‘Empathy’. Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing. With that in mind, we have decided that during this festive season, we will encourage our school community to donate an essential item each day. These items will be donated to Tottenham Food Bank to help families who are struggling to make ends meet.

We hope that you will be able to take part in this Goodwill Campaign and thank you in advance.

Pendarren October 2023

Day 1

The children arrived at midday. The journey was smooth with very little traffic. The weather was part cloudy but dry. After lunch, they went mountain walking.

Day 2

The children spent the morning canoeing and had a great time. Some got a little bit wet...

In the afternoon, rock climbing, abseiling and zip lining was on the agenda. They are looking forward to a rest! Before bed, they enjoyed a story telling session with a local writer. They had a very good night's sleep.

Day 3

River Study

Today, the children followed the course of a river from it's source until it went underground. They put on hard hats with lights and went into the dark and scary cave. Exciting stuff! This evening they will be writing postcards and visiting the tuck shop.

Day 4

Today the children will be travelling by mini bus to visit St Fagans National History Museum. They will be finding out about life in Wales over time, from the Iron Age to the 20th Century. Everyone is sleeping well and having a good time. The Pendarren staff are very impressed with the children's behaviour and attitudes.

Day 5

The final day. The children have loved their stay and want to stay longer! This morning they will be taking part in bushcraft. This involves using nature to build shelters. They will also be shown how to make fire. We are expecting them back later this afternoon. Safe travels.

Day 1

What a fantastic experience today!!! We took part in building our own shelters in mini teams; we lit a fire without matches; discovered wild food, and roasted apples and sugar on the camp fire,.

Day 2

After a good night's sleep, the activity steps up and we are canoeing, rock climbing and abseiling today. The children canoed on the canal with qualified instructors. Using double canoes, they learnt to paddle correctly and change direction.

Pendarren House has a 12 metre high climbing and abseiling tower. The children had the opportunity to rock climb and abseil.

Day 3

After breakfast, the children are off to the coast, visiting the beautiful Gower Peninsula. They will be travelling by mini bus enjoying the lovely views of the South Wales countryside along the way.

Update: They walked from Langland to Caswell Bay along the coastal path; ate their packed lunch; then in the afternoon, went to catch some sea creatures from the rock pools.

Day 4

Today the children will be doing a river study. They will be looking at the river source then following its journey down the countryside till it goes underground. With special hard hats and clothing they will follow the river too! Part of the river study includes caving.

Day 5

After an early night, the children have packed, dressed and breakfasted before their final activity: Mountain Walk. After lunch, they will begin their journey back to Bruce Grove. They certainly have had an action filled, fun packed experience to be sure!

Careers and Skills Week 2023

Fri 03 Feb 2023

This week the children were given an insight into the world of work through our Careers and Skills Week. All week we have had visitors, parents and carers come into school and talk about the jobs they do or a special skill they have. We have had photographers, retail workers, journalists, film set designers, nurses, builders, event managers and a barber to name but a few. Today, the children dressed up in the jobs that they like and had great fun sharing with their class. We hope that this week has given the children some ideas about the future they would like for themselves. Thank you to parents and staff for nurturing their aspirations!
