Dear Parent/Carer,

As the children arrived in a sea of red, there was much excitement ready for the Wales v Iran match today… it was just a shame that it was not the result that Wales wanted!  With only a month to go until Christmas, we can now turn our attention to getting ready for all the fun festivities that we have planned at Lakeside.

Children in Need

Last week’s fundraiser raised a phenomenal £361.36 in just half an hour on the gate!  Thank you so much to Lakeside families for your continuing generosity.

Dancefit Christmas Show

Best wishes to all the pupils who are taking part in the Dancefit Christmas at Barry Memorial Hall this Sunday – I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time!

Digital Leaders Autumn Competition

The Digital Leaders presented a video in assembly today showcasing all the lovely entries to the Autumn Nature competition and announcing the winners.  Thank you so much to families for entering this; there was such a lovely variety of colours and places to look at.
