On Thursday 21st December at 3pm all classes at school finished and pupils made their way to our Infant Yard to sing Christmas Carols accompanied by The Oakdale Silver Band

We were joined by parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles as we sang traditional carols on a crisp sunny afternoon.

A big thank you to everyone who made the effort to come into school for the occasion it really made it a wonderful end to the last day of the school year.


Have a good break from school and we will all meet again on Monday 8th January at 9.00am for the start of the Spring Term.

MERRY CHRISTMAS from Cefn Fforest Primary School Staff and Pupils

Wow!!!what an action filled term we have had, now we have time to draw breath before Christmas really starts we have a few final loose ends to tie up.

The final total money collected from silver collections at Christmas Concerts was £650, so a great big THANK YOU to everyone who contributed something towards our total. We will be sending our contribution to Premananda Orphanage very soon.

We would also like to wish in Rhys Merrick and his family a Very Merry Christmas from all of the staff of Cefn Fforest Primary School.

We hope that everyone has a safe and Happy Christmas and will be ready to start again when the Spring Term begins on Monday 8th January 2007.

As the term draws to a close we have much to look back on, especially the Christmas Performances from last week. All were excellent and I believe that everyone who was able to attend at least one of the performances would agree that the children were superb. Many thanks to teachers and support staff who worked on costumes and rehearsals, and a BIG thank you to parents who helped their children in learning their lines and getting costumes together for the performances.

Thanks also to all of those who attended ( and yes I am aware that Year 6 will be performing on Monday evening at St Thomas's Church. As you may be aware we in school have a link to Premananda Orphanage School in India, and we have raised money to sponsor Kavitha

 This is a copy of what Kavitha wrote to us as a thank you for all of the help we have given.

Below is the translation of Kavitha's words.

 Your generosity at the Christmas Performances has so far raised an extra £509 towards Kavitha's continued education at the orphanage, I am sure that this amount will rise following the Year 6 Carol Concert on Monday evening. 

 

Thank You all very much and a very Merry Christmas.
