• BBC Now Orchestra Performance

  Tue 25 Apr 2023 J. Desmond

  Today we were extremely priviledged to host two performances of the BBC NOW Orchestra, comprised of instrumentalists from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. 

  We listened to a number of extracts from a variety of classical pieces. For many pupils this was the first time they had ever heard live classical music! It was a fantastic experience and we all enjoyed it a great deal!

  Today our Cwmfelin Primary school choir performed at the Maesteg Christmas Tree Festival at St. Michael's Church. The audience were treated to a variety of Christmas tunes, both old and new.

• It's Your Valley, Love It, Don't Trash It!

  Fri 18 Nov 2022 J. Desmond

  This morning, Class 4 were visited by Naturequest as part of the 'It's Your Valley, Love It, Don't Trash It' programme. Rebecca and Anne gave them a litter pick task in the school yard. They tallied the rubbish they found and were surprised that there was far more plastic than any other type of litter. 
  Class 4 then learnt about plastic pollution and how dangerous microplastics are to sea creatures when they enter the food chain. 
  As a result of participating in the workshop, the school now has a class set of litter picking clothing and equipment, so we can go out and keep the community litter free!

• Class 5 Meet Local MP Chris Elmore

  Thu 27 Oct 2022 A. Bluck

  Today, Dosbarth Pump were lucky enough to have an online visit from Chris Elmore MP. Pupils have written letters to people in jobs who have to make a lot of decisions as part of our inquiry . Mr Elmore wrote back and agreed to speak to the class. He video called us from the Houses of Parliament and talked about what he does in his job, what decisions he has to make before answering questions we had prepared.

  Dosbarth Pump really enjoyed meeting Chris and are looking forward to a few more visits from other professionals in the future.
