Burton VC School

Sport
Cricket - congratulations to Toby Hayman who has not only been captain of the county team this year but recently has had a Welsh trial.

Sports Day - was eventually held on 11/7/07, and was again a huge success with many parents and friends attending. Benton retained the shield once again . Many thanks to everyone for their wonderful support.

Cycling - Safe Cycling for Years 5/6 took place at school during the last week of the summer term.

Football - The House Football Match was held on 18/7/07 with Benton winning 5-2.

Rounders – The special family rounders match ( Picton v Benton ) organised by FOBS was held on the evening of 18/7/07. Many families took part and enjoyed a highly ‘competitive' yet fun evening with Picton eventually winning (I think). Many people have asked for this to become an annual event.

Cross Country - Our school did well at the annual Pembrokeshire Cross Country Championship held at Oakwood recently. Over 100 children from numerous Pembrokeshire schools started each race. Toby Hayman came 3 rd in his race and Alicia Jones came 4 th in her race. The rest of the team also did very well with Megan Thomas, Hollie Thomas and Jack McMullan finishing in the top 25, and Ellie Jenkins, Callum Woods and Samuel Withers all finishing within the top 50 of their races.

Music - Megan Thomas, Samuel Withers, Molly Brick and Rosie Davies were chosen to perform at the Pembrokeshire Junior Proms on 3/7/07. 

Harvest Festival . Our Harvest Festival Service was held at school on 24/10/07. Many parents and friends attended. After the service the produce was auctioned and £185.00 was raised for the school charity Action Aid.

Educational Visits.

Years 5 and 6 visited Llangrannog Outdoor Activity Centre on the last week of June. Although the weather wasn't too good, the children had a fantastic time.

School Sports
Our School Sports was held on Tuesday 24 th June at our school field. The day was packed with fun and competition between the two teams, Skomer and Caldey. The ‘James Brock Cup' was presented by Mr Kevin Brock this year to the winning team – Caldey.

Shades for a Day
The children supported the above event on Wednesday 18 th June. They wore their sunglasses and paid £1 towards the charity. This charity event highlights how important it is to protect our eyes against ultra-violet radiation and hopefully by wearing sunglasses will prevent a range of visual impairments in later life.

Summer Concerts
After the success of our two Summer Concerts in 2007, we will again be providing opportunities for the children to perform musical items they have been working on this year. Both concerts will be on Thursday 10 th July.
The Infant concert will begin at 2.45pm and will take place outside on the school field. If the weather is inclement the concert will be performed in the school hall.
The Junior concert will begin at 6.30pm and if the weather is fine we will hold this outdoors on the school field. The concert will include a wide range of songs and instrumental pieces. On the evening a programme will be available and a raffle will be held during the interval.
Admission to both concerts will be free but there will be a collection at the end to support the continuing development of musical work at Llangwm School .

CD Recording
On Friday 20 th June we professionally recorded a CD of our favourite songs and instrumental pieces. The CD which is entitled ‘Rock Llangwm Rock' is available to purchase at £6.50. Please contact the school office for any further information about ordering.

Friends of Llangwm School Autumn Auction
The Friends of Llangwm School (FOLS) have planned for an Autumn Auction to take place at Llangwm Rugby Club on Thursday 25 th September starting at 7.00pm. It is hoped that the evening will be an enjoyable social event and also one that raises funds for additional resources at the school.
At this stage we are looking for offers of interesting items to auction on the evening. If anyone wishes to donate to the evening, please contact the school office.
