Children at Warning Zone Road Show

The Warning Zone Road Show came to Griffydam School and our Year 6 children joined others from Viscount Beaumont and Griffydam in a very enjoyable safety experience.

Reception class has new equipment

Through extended services and our Locality Partnership Group we have been able to purchase new outdoor play equipment for the children in our Reception Class. The children really enjoy playing the new outdoor games.

Garden Club Area

With extended services money we have been able to develop an area at the top of the field for a Garden Club area. The children have enjoyed learning about the plants and growing them.

African Day at School

School spent a whole day learning all about African Music, Dance and Art. Our visitors were great and everyone enjoyed the whole experience of learning about different cultures, as can be seen in the pictures below.

Community Lunch at School

We have started to invite members of our community into school for lunch with the children. This is a great experience for everybody involved and will continue on a regular basis.
