The green class visited the round houses at Melin Llynnon. We had the opportunity to learn how houses were built over 2000 years ago. Everyone had a lot of fun learning facts about the round houses with Richard Holt.

The green class have had a great experience of being trained on how to build walls and use machines by Joey Taylor from Premier Development as part of 'The three little pigs' work. Everyone was excited to be builders for the day and really enjoyed the experience. We thank him very much for his time and Huws Gray for contributing materials for the session.

The yellow class enjoyed a trip around the village looking for the signs of Autumn. The children loved hearing the sound of the leaves under their feet and singing 'autumn leaves' on the journey. Thanks to Louise Martin and Mike Allen for joining the trip and to Mike for showing the wildlife that lives in their pond! There was great excitement as everyone met the little frog!

The orange class had an enjoyable afternoon in the forest creating instruments with natural materials before singing a song about the forest. The children love taking advantage of the special environment that surrounds the school.

The blue class had a wonderful afternoon in Carreglwyd, Llanfaethlu developing their orienteering skills. After a picnic in the beautiful surroundings of Carreglwyd they were busy looking for the various targets along the fields and around the lake. Well done all!

Show racism the red card

On the day to mark showing racism the red card the pupils came to school in red clothes to show their support against racism at any level in their lives. An important message for every day of the year.

Cycling week to school

It was great to see so many bikes and scooters outside the main entrance and the entrance for the foundation stage during the cycle to school week between October 3-7. This is part of the school's involvement with the 'Sustrans Healthy Journeys' campaign. Thank you to everyone for supporting the campaign so far - there will be more activities during the year!

Thanksgiving

At the end of the term there were two performances of Ysgol Henblas' thanksgiving service 2022. The hall was full for both performances and the children performed excellently. It is so nice to be able to open our doors once again for the community to be part of a live audience at the school. There were lively performances by the four classes before everyone joined as one big choir to sing - including our school anthem. A collection of £269 was raised towards Anglesey Food bank.
