Cefn Fforest Primary Weblog

Today at Cefn Fforest we welcomed a very important person ( and his son). Our special visitor was Mr Dapo Akanbi, who is an Ambassador from Nigeria.

The reason for Ambassador Akanbi's visit is that he is in Wales visiting his son Kay( picture below) and his family. Kay is Mrs Mortimer's son in law.

He very kindly agreed to come into school and speak to our younger pupils, explaining not only what Nigeria is like as a country, but also telling us about some of the jobs an Ambassador does as a representative of Nigeria's President.

We learned a great deal about Nigeria today including what the country's flag is like.

The pupils throughout the Infant and Junior School asked some excellent questions and gained a great deal of information this morning. Ambassador Akanbi was introduced to our new School Council representatives from Year 3, 4 and Year 6. Later he also met 3 of Cefn Fforest Primary School's Year 6 Journalists.
