GIVE IT SOME WELLY...A DATE FOR YOUR DIARY!

LOOK OUT ON MARCH 22ND.........
We are going to be 'Giving it some WELLY' in support of The Woodland Trust. We will have a fun filled (educational) afternoon and after school activities for you and your family, to join in when you collect your child from school!
Just to get you excited...some of the things that are planned...

• Welly Wanging
• Giant Welly Art Attack
• A range of Forest Schools Activities
• Welly Treasure Hunt

It's going to be outdoors, fun and not one to forget!

This is not a fundraising event, you can donate to the Woodland Trust if you wish. Information will be available on the day how to do this, if you wish to do so. You have already supported us greatly in the Welly Walk in raising funds for our project, which is enormously appreciated.

Come along and join us in some outdoor educational fun so you can gain a greater understanding in the Woodland Trust's work, Forest Schools learning and the best bit...experience it for yourselves.

Family members...make sure you practise your over arm throwing for the welly wanging! Are you going to be the Penygawsi Welly Wanger of 2011?

P.S. Dust off those Wellies!!!

GET READY FOR WICKED WOODLAND ACTIVITIES!

The Forest Rangers

As promised the 'Welly Walk' photographs.

WOW!

Well I can't quite believe it and we still haven't received all the sponsor money yet...

SO FAR YOU HAVE HELPED TO RAISE...

It was an absolute pleasure to see all the children enjoying the Welly Walk experience. The school grounds were full of the joys of squelching and laughter. I have taken some great photographs and will post them soon. Thank you to the Forest Rangers who arranged and marshalled the course. They were out organising all afternoon and did a superb job. I have to say a great big thanks to the staff who were full of enthusiasm -making sure that everyone was having fun and ensuring the school was kept mud free. It is not easy when you have 30 children who have muddy wellies and trousers! The event would not have been a huge success without the grown up Forest Rangers who have been laminating, photocopying, cutting out and organising too-Thank you for your help :)

Mrs James

(who is still cleaning her wellies and trousers and all the muddy equipment...but I don't mind because it was FUN!)

Keep visiting for an up to date total. When all the money has been received we will post the name of the child who collected the most and let you know what they have won.
ALLOTMENT AND POND HERE WE COME... HOORAY!

Rangers Next Meeting...

Forest Rangers we are meeting next Monday at 11.45 am PROMPT in Pen y Fan. Please make sure you bring along your wellies and coats. We are mapping out the course for the welly walk on Wednesday :)

WELLY WALK IMPORTANT INFO...

Don't forget to collect lots of sponsors for the 'Welly Walk' next Wednesday.

Remember that there is a certificate and prize for the most sponsor money collected.

Everyone needs to bring in wellington boots to wear and waterproof trousers on the day.

If you don't have waterproof trousers then an old pair of joggers that are allowed to get very dirty will be ok.

The event will take place even if it is wet, so please make sure you have a suitable wet weather coat with you. We might get wet and muddy...it is all part of the experience :)
