As you may or may not be aware Class 3H have sent a Tiny Teddy Bear to our friends in New Zealand. He has been sending us regular photographs of what he has been up to from visiting a horse called 'Lucky' belonging to Gloria.

To a meeting with some Moscovy Ducklings, later in the week.

All of this activity has certainly made us in Class 3H a liitle bit envious of Tiny Ted, however this weekend Ted has had an absolutely brilliant time in and around his adoptive home of Nelson. Nelson is on the northern tip of the South Island. Ted has been to the Fisherman's Memorial in Nelson harbour.

The weather as you can see is beautiful, as New Zealand enters its summer.

Where else would you go on a lovely day, but to the beach, Tiny Ted took his tiny towel, picnic bag and sun umbrella with him for his visit to Tahananui Beach, where as you can see he stopped to 'catch some rays' in the sunshine.

As is the custom at the seaside he had an ice cream, from his new friend Trevor on Rabbit Island.

It was delicious!!!

After a quick Ginger Beer ( apparently he asked for a ginger bear!!!)

It was time to set off back home.

In order to have a rest before the new school week where no doubt he is going to be visiting some of his new friends houses to meet their families - you can keep in touch with his adventures on his website ( the link is on the left hand side of the page)

Message from Ted - " I am having a lovely time - wish you were here!!"

A Very Important Person visits Cefn Fforest Primary School

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.
