Bollywood comes to Copperworks

Namaste! Bollywood came to Copperworks School during Healthy Month and was welcomed and enjoyed by all. Sarita taught the children some simple steps to some fab Bollywood tunes whilst teaching them about Indian culture and dance.

The Bollywood workshop was enjoyed by all, and some staff told me it was the hardest workout they'd done in ages!!!

The workshops were paid for by the Parent's Association through monies received from WCVA. Thank you.












The "Prom" 2009

July saw the "Prom" once again at Copperworks School. Our very own Prince Charming, (Josh Harries below) rolled up to give Joe, Becci and Tracy a beautiful single rose each, we were thrilled!!

The limos arrived and the children stepped out to "oohs" and "aahhs" all around, they looked absolutely fab, parents/guardians had put in so much effort!

DJ Lloyd was on hand to get the party thumping and it was bop til you drop!

The children were each presented with their Year Books and friendship bracelets and Miss James had a presentation too!

Thank you to everyone who helped decorate the hall and supervise on the night. It's always a special evening and a much looked forward to event. Thank you, it really is appreciated.
















If you would like to get involved with the Parent's Association, please see Becci, Tracy or Joe

More Dancing Sessions during Healthy Month

After 4 weeks of learning different dances, from Belly Dancing to Street, the last session brought them all together in a "Dollymix" workshop. The children thoroughly enjoyed the sessions, and the staff got a workout too!

The Future's Bright.......The Future's Scarlet !!!

Today, the whole school took part in a rugby skills workshop. Year two worked with Paul Fisher from the Scarlets, supported by Deacon Manu, Scarlets player, and the rest of the school worked with Karen Gibbard from Communities First and Phillip Drew a parent volunteer. Deacon also joined Karen to work with the younger pupils later during the sessions.

We started with some warming up, then cracked on with some ball handling skills.

The children, staff, and volunteers had a blast!

Thank you to everyone who came along to make the morning a success.

Look out Ospreys....we have some future Scarlets on the horizon!

Pre School Walk

Last Thursday, as part of Healthy Month, there was a Pre school walk. This walk was for parents and pupils who were unable to join us at Bethel Chapel the previous week, (not for pre-school age children, there seems to have been a slight misunderstanding!).

There will be another Walk to school event this Thursday, meeting at St. Peter's Church, and another Pre School Walk the following week.

Please remember, that parents MUST accompany children during these walks.

Thank you to the Safer Communities Action Group once again for the use of the vests and walking rings, it is much appreciated.




115 relaxed children with happy hands!

Last week, on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon, all pupils took part in a giant, whole school massage session! 115 pupils in all, as well as members of staff put their hands to work.

Despite suffering with a sore throat, Debs came along to teach the children 4 massage techniques that they could use. Everyone enjoyed and she has promised to return for another short session before the end of term.

The session was funded by the Parent's Association through monies received by the WCVA.

Thanks Debs!
