Healthy Week - Sponsored Activities

This year our ‘Healthy Week’ will be held week commencing 29^th June. As usual, we will be taking part in sponsored challenges to raise funds to put towards new resources for our school. Last year, our 'Castle to Bay' hike and ‘Rainbow Run’ raised over £1500 and helped fund replacement iPads and Laptops. This year we have some brand new challenges to look forward to and these will take place on Wednesday 1^st July.

Foundation Phase children (Teigr, Eliffant, Cangarw and Coala) will take part in a ‘Taff Trail Ramble’
where different routes will be planned out for level of challenge and age of the child.

Meanwhile, Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 (Twcan, Rhino Gwyn and Llew) will be repeating our challenge from 3 years ago – climbing Pen-y-Fan, the highest peak in South Wales. This has been our most popular challenge to date and one that we have had many requests from children to repeat. As we have younger children taking part this year, we will be taking a slow and steady route and will be accompanied by qualified instructors from the nearby Storey Arms Outdoor Pursuits Centre.

 

 

 Further details of each of these activities including any equipment/clothing needed will be sent out shortly. If for any reason you do not wish your child to take part in their class activity, please let your child’s teacher know as soon as possible. We will also be looking for parent volunteers to walk with us on the day (and indeed collect their own sponsors if they wish). If you fancy getting involved and making it a family event, let Mrs. James or myself know.

As usual, children will be reminded of safe sponsor collection in an assembly. All forms and money should be returned to school by the morning of the 1^st July.
