Congratulations to Mrs Palmer on the birth of Ffion Ellie Palmer. I went down last night to visit and Mrs Palmer is looking fit and well and smiling lots. Baby Ffion is beautiful and I really enjoyed my cuddle with her. I've got a lovely picture so will send it around for all the boys and girls to see next week. Hope everyone is enjoying their extra long weekend. See you Monday.

It is brilliant news and we all send our best wishes to the Palmer family. Miss Jeffreys

Do you know that mrs Palmer has had her baby girl allredy. She was born on the 4th november now that is very happy news.

Yes I did, for more details look at the News page. Miss Jeffreys

please can someone clarify whether the nursery christmas concert is on the 14th or 15th of dec as calendar on website says its on both dates, however newsletter states 15th dec.
Many thanks, Claire

Sorry that is my fault - I got a bit carried away! (My excuse is that I love Christmas so much I think we should have concerts all the time!) The Nursery Concert is on 15th December ONLY. Sorry about that. Miss Jeffreys

Hello, how are you all in Birchgrove? I hope you enjoyed half-term and Halloween! Not long until Christmas now, bet you have lots of nice things planned? Wanted to say 'Good Luck' to Mrs Palmer too, take care and all the best. Hope all of the children are still working hard!
Love from Miss Hanley X

Hello Miss Hanley, how are you? Have a look at the news page for an update on Mrs Palmer and her baby. Glad to see you are still thinking of us. Are your class getting excited about Christmas? You would be shocked to see our old Y1/2 unit it has been totally changed and it looks fantastic - the Nursery and Reception children will think they are kings and queens in their new classrooms. They will be moving in (hopefully) before the end of November. Miss Jeffreys

Me and my class has only got 1 more day left with mrs Palmer then we have mrs Williams.I will miss her but I am shore that we will have fun with mrs Williams.

I am sure you will too. Miss Jeffreys

hello! mrs Palmer I hope that you have a lovely baby. Me and Rhys are both wishing you the best of luck for you and your baby.Dont forget to bring her in for all the class to see.I bet you that she will be a beautiful littel girl. We will all miss you when you go and we will all be thinking about you.

Mrs Palmer is finishing on Friday and she has said that she wants the weekend to relax and then the baby can be born on Monday. I am not sure that babies follow plans like that though, they do have a tendency to come when they are good and ready and not when we want them to! Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone cant wait until the halloween disco, what about you? well see you tomorrow. bye!!!!!!

Don't forget to buy your ticket BEFORE the disco. NO TICKET NO ENTRY. Miss Jeffreys

I love mrs Palmers class. She has only got 3 days left at school. I will miss her.

i love this school

I am glad you do but does Darren know that you are sending this message from his computer "Ben"? The remote address is exactly the same AND it was sent just 1 minute and 22 seconds after Darren sent his message complaining that someone had falsely sent a very similar message into the Guestbook under his name. Don't worry I will be looking into this as well as the 1st message that was sent ok boys. Miss Jeffreys

hello do you now the message i love this school is was not me because i was out playing football so can you look at the message please.

No problem Darren I will look into it for you, the computer remote address details are different from yours. So I know it wasn't sent from your computer.

Have a look at the message again it was sent at nearly 20 past 10 at night -I hope you weren't playing football that late at night! Miss Jeffreys

Hello mrs joseph thank you very very much for the picture of missy we all think she is beautiful and has lovely kind eyes i will be getting a frame to put in the picture and it will be in my bedroom i bet you love going for walks together i wish i had a dog just like her it was nice to see you in school today i got a surprise mum dad and adam send yoy a belated birthday wish i told them you still look the same as when you worked in school boucer is being good he is next to me resting lots of lovexxxx

WAR WEEK???? Who, what, where, when? Tell me more Ben. Miss Jeffreys

To Mrs Adkins and the Reception Class. Thank you for letting me come on your trip to the cinema today, i really enjoyed the film and the sweeties too!! All the children were very well behaved and can i say what an honour it was to be with such a smart looking school. The children all looked lovely in their high visability vests, it really showed the school off, did you see the other school children looking at us. Im sure they were very jealous of us all! Well done Birchgrove Primary School xxx

I remember a while back talking about doing a film review on the guest book...well here's mine about UP...it's a fantastic film, even though it made me cry, twice!!! The 3D effects are awesome and the storyline is really good and makes you think. I would give it 10/10 and 5 *'s...p.s it made Mr G sniff too!!!!

Oh Mrs Gibbens I went to see UP on Saturday and I cried 3 times! I sobbed like a baby when he got the adventure book out and looked at the back pages - who knew Disney could affect you so much? I also want a dog like Doug - wouldn't that be amazing? Miss Jeffreys

hi everyone are you all having a nice weekend off

So far it has been a good Saturday but I know on Sunday I will be chained to the computer getting things ready for next week - boo hoo! How is your weeked going Paige? Miss Jeffreys

The person who sent this message and another similar one on 27-03-2009 at 15:04:27 needs to be aware that your computer remote address has been logged on both occassions and can be traced if necessary - I hope that it won't be necessary to do so. Miss Jeffreys

hello everone cant wait to go to the cinema on friday

I am looking forward to it too Paige - I am not sure if its the film or the popcorn I am going to enjoy most. Miss Jeffreys (Only joking about the popcorn - I wouldn't be so cruel as to eat popcorn in front ofyou when you are not allowed to have any :)

Shhhhh Miss Jeffreys! I am getting too old for birthdays now! Hello again Craig. It is lovely being your teacher again for the second time. There are so many of my class going to breakfast club now that I thought you had all run away with the circus when I opened the door this morning! There were hardly any children there! You are all early birds. I know you all love breakfast club though. See you tomorrow. Miss Knight x

Yes October is a busy month for birthdays in your class Miss Knight isn't it. I seem to recall that a certain teacher in your class has a birthday in October too. Now who could that be? Oh yes and her surname starts with K.... mmm I wonder. Miss Jeffreys

Hello miss Knight,I hope you have a good day tomorrow.I enjoyed myself in school today and i hope it will be sunny tomorrow.

Wow what a game! what a match! what a score! I am of course talking about the wonderful match between Swansea and Sheffield on Saturday. There were LOTS of children from Birchgrove there and Kalam from Y6 went onto the pitch to try and score a goal at half time - unfortunately he missed but a good try Kalam. Luckily the Swansea team had no trouble scoring and we WON 2-1, yippee! Can't wait for the next game. What did you all think of the match? Miss Jeffreys

Hello ms LLoyd this is megan.
Next friday I am in a show singing,dancing with girls the show is called The Best Is Yet To Come. It will be held at The Grand Theatre.

Oh break a leg Megan! Now before anyone says "What a mean thing to say Miss Jeffreys" that is what you say to people who go on the stage to act , dance and sing - it means good luck. Miss Jeffreys

I love it in year 5 p beacause Mrs Pamler is sooo kind.

Mrs Palmer will be delighted to hearthat Victoria. Miss Jeffreys

A big thank you to all the y6's who came to Dan y Coed..I had a fab week and hope you all did too.

Oh you are brave Dylan and Zac, when I went on the Tower of Terror I cried because I was so scared. The photo of me on that ride is so funny as you can see I am terrified. Miss Jeffreys

Hello everyone
Just a quick hello on our final night at Dan y coed. We have had a fab time and are all pretty tired after our night walk tonight. I'm sure the children will have lots of fond memories from their stay and that the stories will be told many times over. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
Lots of love
Miss Noble xxx

Thank you Mrs Joseph, we are all very proud of the staff, governors and especially the pupils - everyone worked so hard to show the Inspectors that we are the best in Birchgrove. I am surprised at you Mrs Joseph I was so careful not to tell anyone your special age and then you let it slip out! Fancy that. See you soon Miss Jeffreys
(Message 1091)

Hi miss jefferys Im so happy aboat the walk there are going to be lovely things there from hannah

I agree Hannah, I always enjoy the walks around the village, even if it rains! Miss Jeffreys

To all year 3 children, Mrs George and Ms Lloyd. I just wanted to say a big thank you for asking me to come along on the school trip to Castell Henllys. What a brilliant day out I learnt lots of things about the Celts. The children were all well behaved and it was an honour to be part of the Birchgrove Primary School Party. Looking forward to the next trip. Sarah xxx

I have been speaking to Mrs George and Ms Lloyd and they said the children were amazed by the Celts they met and had a wonderful time living in the past for the day. It is very pleasing to hear that as usual our children make us proud when they are out of school on a trip. Miss Jeffreys

Hi all you Y6's...and everyone else..I have just been and bought new pj's for next weeks mini holiday to Mumbles...there are lush, pink and stripy. Just need to find my suitcase now to put them in..hmm!!

Have you got new slippers too? I think you are all going to have a fab time in Mumbles, the weather is supposed to be wonderful. Enjoy yourselves and take care. Miss Jeffreys

Thank you for your kind messages - I still like to visit the website every now and then to see how everybody is! My new class are very good, but much smaller than my last class were! At the moment we are working hard to get all the new boys and girls settled and are trying to learn the Nursery rules. I drove past the school at the weekend and had a huge shock - there is a whole new building on the end of Miss Jeffreys old class! I bet it will be fantastic inside when it is finished.Take care x

The new building is taking shape very quickly and soon after the half term the Nursery and Reception children will be moving in - we are counting down the days. Miss Jeffreys

im realy happy in yr 6 seren wythnos if thats the way you spell it and im a prefect two awards :) hope everyones having a good time in their new classes

Excellent news Ryan - congratulations on becoming a prefect - you are now someone the younger children will look up to. Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone
Am really enjoying the comp now and haven't got lost again. Have made loads of new friends and all the teachers are nice ( but not as nice as you)
It's strange carrying my bag around all day and not having a drawer to put things in I will have huge muscles!!!


that's going to come in handy as your mother can hire you out now as a furniture removal person - you will earn loads of money. Miss Jeffreys
P.S I have a filing cabinet that needs moving into the garage - how does £1 sound? No, you want more, mmm I will have to think about that :)

Hi everyone, hope you all enjoyed your first week back in school, I have, my new class are wonderful!! My bump is doing very well Kirsty, thanks for asking, glad you are enjoying the comp!!

Well thank you for asking Mrs Palmer, I have had a good week back in school although I am a little tired when I do eventually get home in the evenings and..... what? oh sorry you were asking the CHILDREN if they had had a good week back in school. Ooops :) Miss Jeffreys

hi

Hi. Miss Jeffreys

Hello Miss Hanley! You seem to have settled into your new school very quickly! You are still missed though!
In the Evening Post newspaper I saw a photograph of an ex pupil Chelsey Hampton. Her GCSE results were fantastic! Well done and congratulations to all our ex pupils who have just had GCSE and A level results. I hope you will be happy in whatever you choose to do.

That goes for me too. Miss Jeffreys

Both amanda and nicolas have mentioned how lovely their teachers are which is a joy to any parent, and they seem to have already settled in well.I know its early days and you are all busy but just noticed the class pages needs updating as mrs palmer is with year 5 and not 6."Come on miss Jeffreys" new classes new,new, new everything.

Sorry, sorry, sorry I shall get onto it straight away! Miss Jeffreys

Hi Miss Hanley I miss you, i have settled very well with Miss Jeffries, are you enjoying you new class wish you were back here with us xx

On a purely selfish note Niall I am glad you didn't write "Oh Miss Hanley I miss you so much Miss Jeffreys is not as nice as you!" Phew so glad that didn't happen! I miss Miss Hanley too but she is really enjoying her new class and school. Miss Jeffreys

Hello, just a quick message to my old friends in Birchgrove - hope you are all well. How are the children in my class last year settling into their new classes? I hope you are all working very hard for your new teachers! I am enjoying my new school and have made lots of new friends. Take care, Miss Hanley.

Hello Miss Hanley, how nice to hear from you - we are pleased that you haven't forgotten us. The children have settled in well to their new classes and I have to say the children that have come to my class from yours are delightful and such hard workers. How are the children in your new class getting on? What is your topic this term? Stay in touch with us won't you. Miss Jeffreys

hey everyone how are we all ? im fine up the comp so far bit nervus but dnt no why :) oh well how is ur bump miss. palmer is ur little girl ok :) my neice is 2 mths 2day she is so cute she giggles and everythin now shes 2 mths and she is liftin her head already i miss ya all love u bye (love the teachers ) bye bye oxox

I felt that way on the 1st day back - its exciting but you still feel a bit worried about the unknown. Miss Jeffreys

Hi, My son started in Nusery today and we were wondering if they also go to Forest School or just Reception in the Foundation Phase?

Well welcome to our school, its good to hear from you. The Nursery children will be doing Forest School activities once they have all settled into the school routine and this usually starts after Christmas. Your class teacher will let you know more details nearer to the time. Hopefully your son had a good day today in Nursery and can't wait to get back into school tomorrow :) Miss Jeffreys

Hi Miss jeffereys. Thank you for the letter sent home today, my goodness you are all going to busy this term! I notice you have a few trips planned, feel free to let me know if you need any parent helpers as I am always ready to lend a hand. Oh yes do the children bring PE kit this Thursday?

We would be grateful of help on the trips, I will be putting a sign up sheet up soon for willing parents. Mrs D'Auria will be doing PE with the children this Thursday so Charlotte will need her kit and as we will be doing a second session of movement/Write Dance then you could leave it in school ready for Friday morning then take it home for the weekend (just a thought). Miss Jeffreys

hi - hope you all had good day. my baby brother ryan started nursey today. he said he liked it. he is in miss williiams class. my zebra is real miss jeffries - i have to bring photo in to show mrs barrow.

Could I see that photo too - a real life zebra, how amazing. I am glad that Ryan had a good day today, Miss Williams is great so he will have lots of fun in the Nursery. Miss Jeffreys

Hello to you all.I hope you had a wonderful Summer holiday shame about the weather but I expect you managed to do some exciting things.Lovely news about baby Holly,cant wait to see her, so I hope her mummy will bring her to visit me one day.Well I have heard that the school has had new classrooms built and that it is all looking so fantastic I wonder will I be able to find my way around when I visit.I am so happy the y6 have settled into the Comprehensive School,it only seems like yesterday that they started in Reception.Goodness me I must be getting OLD.Mrs Adkins called over to see me with Jonny and Grace after they had been swimming and they brought sausage and chips for us all to share.It was lovely to see them and they have both grown so tall.Missy and I are still exploring new places
around Pontardawe where we can run and play-I only walk she does the running and playing.She was 3 years od last Mondayand we had special treats to celebrate it.Enjoy your new Term with your new friends and teachers and hope to see you all very soon.Love to everyone. Mrs Joseph and Missy.

Lovely to hear from you Mrs Joseph, I am glad that you and Missy are getting out and about and are still finding interesting places to explore - I have a picture of you and Missy running through green spaces and investigating all of the hiding places behind bushes and trees! Well maybe Missy more than you with the investigating bushes :) Some of the old Y6's came down to see us on Friday and they were telling me all of the new French phrases they had learnt, so far they are all really enjoying their new school. My new classroom is wonderful and it looks out onto Forest School with the patio just outside our door - we have been out there to play with construction on Thursday and Friday. Hope to see you soon Miss Jeffreys
(Message 1054)

hi everyone are you all enjoying your weekend off

Hi Paige, Are you having a good weekend? I am relaxing today and will spend the day preparing work for school on Sunday. It seems very strange that this time last weekend I was in Disneyland having breakfast with Mickey Mouse, Pluto, Chip and Dale and Baloo. Oh to have a time machine so We could all go back in time! See you on Monday Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone, hope you all had a great first day back in school. It was lovely to see so many of my old class who came to visit today. Harry I have heard all about your first day in comp and heard you loved it. My bump is doing very good, growing now and lots of kicks!!

Told you I'd get lost today...going from P.E to R.E....but I wasn't the only one...

I have visions of about 10 of you wandering around looking for the RE room - I hope you weren't too late getting there but if you have only got lost once then that is pretty good in my opinion, when I went there for some evening classes a few years ago I got lost every week! Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone comp is soooooo cool! I havent got lost yet but I probably will soon.I kind of miss primary but I love it in the comp. I miss all of the teachers and I wonder how Mrs Palmer is and maybe I will come down and how the school is.And I wonder who's gonna be pupil of the week.I hope everyone's "always being the best that they can be."

Hi Tyrell, we didn't have Pupil of the Week this week as we have only been in for 2 days. I am glad you are enjoying the comp and we would love to see you when you are passing by. Keep in touch Miss Jeffreys

Don't worry Harry, I'm already getting lost in the junior corridor!!! Glad to hear you are all settling in well. Say hello to everyone for me. x

Has Allie Newport changed her name to Allie Comp? ( Only joking Allie!!!!) I hope you and everyone from Birchgrove Primary will be very happy in the comprehensive. You will be missed but are far too grown up to stay with us! Stay safe and be happy! Best wishes to you all, enjoy!!!!!!

Great to hear from you Harry and I am very pleased that your 1st day went so well. Don't worry about getting lost because everybody does it in a new school - even the teachers. Enjoy tomorrow and keep us informed about your adventures in the BIG SCHOOL. Miss Jeffreys

Mind you not really sure where my new class room is, cos I can't remember, so if you see me walking around at 9am looking lost point me in the right direction please, Mum will be very greatful!! Hope everyone has had a nice holiday (except for all the rain). We went to Drayton Manor for Bank Holiday Week end which was great fun!

Hi Charlotte, our classroom is through Forest School - you can't miss us as I have signs on the door saying Dosbarth Miss Jeffreys. If you do get a bit lost just pop into the office and they will point you in the right direction. I am looking forward to seeing you on Thursday. Miss Jeffreys

I went to visit someone in Morriston Hospital and as I was walking down the corridor I recognised the paintings. The art work that the children did as part of the Fairy Tales project is now on display in the hospital. I felt very proud! See you all next week. Miss Knight x

Hi Miss Jeffries
We were in Liverpool to see Walking with Dinosaurs on Wednesday 19th too they were amazing Huxley the Dinosaur expert was amazing we enjoyed it too. We didn't go to chester we went to Snowdonia instead which was cool.

Hi boys, I'm so glad that you enjoyed the show too - wouldn't it be marvellous if we could get the show to come to our school! Can you imagine how much we could all learn about evolution - and have fun at the same time. My nephew Lewis kept saying "I know they are not real..... but they aren't real are they?" He knew they were extinct but because they were so life like he had to be sure! I have not been to Snowdonia but it is somewhere I would like to go to - what did you do/see there? Miss Jeffreys

Hello everyone, well I have just come back from Liverpool where I went to see the show "Walking with Dinosaurs". It was amazing and I had to pinch myself to remember that the dinosaurs weren't real - they were so life like! The day after the show we went sight seeing and then to Chester Zoo which was really good too. I saw a baby giraffe that was only 1 week old and a seal that took great joy in splashing everyone who came to say hello to him. 5 more sleeps until DISNEYLAND :) Cant wait. So what have you all been up to? Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone, hope you are all having a fab holiday,not long left though!! I have seen photos of Mrs John's daughter Holly and she is beautiful, she does look like her dad tho!! Will see you all very soon, I haven't dared count the sleeps yet :((

Hi Miss jefferys
I am really glad you enjoyed the footy.
I have a season ticket and go down with my mummy and daddy although I am not allowed to night games when I have school the next day.
Mummy sys that there is a system called swans4schools where the school save money on tickets and make money that goes towards the school mummy says you see the system on planetswans web site in the forum bit.
Have you seen what the school looks like now? when they took the wall down of your classroom i was really upset but mum says when they put it back up i will make the school bigger.
I can't believe there is only a few weeks of the hoilday left, we have not been able to go out much this week cos I have been ill . I hope you have been enjoying your holiday.

Hi Ethan how lovely to hear from you. I had a big shock too when I saw our old classroom! Everytime I see the rooms and yards they change ever so slightly. Finally I have unpacked the boxes in my new classroom and put things away but I still have to put up the posters, notices and displays so I will be busy busy on the INSET days in September. I hope you are feeling better now Ethan and I will see you when we get back to school. Miss Jeffreys

A proud pupil of birchgrove primary school Ben xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Ben, good to hear from you again - I hope you are having a great holiday and are looking forward to going back to school in a few weeks. Miss Jeffreys

hi everybody it has been four days until it was my birthday.And for my birthday I had a sleepover a lot sleptover there was 6 girls sleeping over there was Me,Cerys,Darcie,Olivia,Gorgia and my couisin Amy.I had a fabulus time we styed up all night and the next day we slept all day because we were so tired. See you back in school.

Sounds like a good sleepover to me - staying up late laughing and enjoying yourselves. Belated happy birthday to you Kelsey. Miss Jeffreys

Well what an exciting afternoon I have had. I went to my first ever football match to watch Swansea v Middlesbrough, unfortunately we lost 3-0 BUT my nephew Lewis was a mascot for the game and the whole family went to see him. He had a wonderful time and was the last mascot to try and score against Cyril and guess what....... he shoots and he SCORES! Lewis then rounded off this great goal by running up and down the sidelines giving everyone a hi-five! Thats Lewis for you - shy and quiet just like me! We all had a great time and it was the perfect way to spend his 6th birthday. Angel Rangel walked out onto the pitch with him and he and Lewis "had a good chat", what lovely memories for him - its just a pity we didn't win - maybe next time. Happy 6th birthday Lewis. Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone...yesterday we went to Raglan castle near Abergavenny...it was really interesting as it was connected with the tudor times.. one of the best bits was the huge moat we run up and down in..it was empty..and the sun shone all day :)

Thanks goodness the moat was empty - although if it had been full then you wouldn't have been running up and down you would have been swimming! Miss Jeffreys.

hello everyone hope you are all have a lovely holidays i am! i was just wondering what day are we back at school? write again soon!!!!

Well Emma you get to go back to school on Thursday 3rd September HOWEVER the poor staff are back to work on Tuesday 1st September - fancy swapping? Miss Jeffreys

Its good that you are looking forward to the new term William. Miss Jeffreys

Hi everybody i went over cleo's on friday see you in year 6 bye!!

I had to cut out most of the !'s Cerys as they went on for ages. Did you have a good time at Cleo's? Miss Jeffreys.

Oh it's so nice to see the sunshine today. Hope everyone is having a funtime. Am off to the beach today with a picnic.

How lovely Mrs Gibbens and the weather is perfect for the beach. Well today I have been to book a holiday to DISNEYLAND Paris (I am so looking forward to it) and we went on a visit to Castell Coch - guess what we had a picnic too! I want to live in a house that looks a bit like Castell Coch - I'm a turret kind of girl at heart. Lots of other lovely trips planned this holiday and I am enjoying spending time with family and friends. So far we have been to pick raspberries and went for a walk on Cefn Bryn (in the rain, but we had our waterproofs so we were windswept but dry). Next week we are going up to Liverpool to see "Walking with Dinosaurs" which should be fantastic. If all of the children could write in and let us know what you have been up to that would be great. Miss Jeffreys

hi everyone though i leave a massage going to be in about 20 mins ps when we come back to school its my birthday :D

hey everybody check out this is swansea beacause you can see our school report i just looked at it we done very well conradz to all the teachers

I have just been looking at that site too William and even though the title says Birchgrove Primary School the document is actually the last inspection report the old INFANT school had. The report for the inspection we have just had as a PRIMARY school won't be available until the Autumn term, due to the inspection being practically at the end of term and the summer holidays - but dont worry it will make for a good read when it comes out!
Miss Jeffreys

Hello Jack. Thank you for leaving me a comment! I'm having a lovely holiday. I'm glad the sun has decided to come back! I hope you and your family are having a nice holiday too, and I hope you are all having lots of fun. Miss Hanley

Do you think she likes number 4?
Good luck in cracking the code as to what exactly she means but maybe it means enjoy your holidays!

Ahh ha! so that is the trick then, well thank you Lucy for telling us now we all know. Did you get that Hywel? Miss Jeffreys

Well I've finally recovered fom moving all my things to the new classroom (with Mrs. G and Mrs. W. helping me arrange things at the other end) and managed to grab some time on here without Lucy helping me type.
Thank you to my 'old' class for all your lovely comments. Cerys, thank you for the comment about the car but you wouldn't be saying that it you saw it today! (It's just a little muddy after the Royal Welsh show on Thursday.) And as for Hywel's comment about me making the class go to sleep - Lucy is going to leave a message giving you the secret. Good luck reading it!!
I hope you are all enjoying your holidays and CONGRATULATIONS Mrs. G on the 1000th message. You worked hard to get that.

Your classroom does look fab Mrs Roberts - before I went home on Wednesday I went around having a look at the new rooms. Miss Jeffreys

WOOP WOOP WOOP the whole of Birchgrove can probably hear me shouting!!!! Am soooooo very happy...but well done to everyone who writes in to the guestbook...it's a fantastic way to say hello to everyone and to share our thoughts..here's to the 2000th message...hmmm I wonder

Well if you time it right Mrs Gibbens you never know you may just score again! Miss Jeffreys

well what fantastic comments from everybody. I hope you all have a lovley holiday. I went into school this morning and it has already changed so much, the infant yard is just a mud field at the moment and great news Mr Davies is back at work. I think he had a bit of a shock when we walked around the school and saw all the changes to classrooms. Thanks to all the staff who toiled and toiled on Tuesday and Wednesday to get the classrooms moved. Have a good rest and be ready for a fab new year in September.

Lewis and I went on a "drive by" on Monday to look at what was happening at the school and we were shocked to see the yard - well not looking like a yard! I am sure it will look much better by the time September comes, roll on Christmas too then we will all be together like one big happy family! Miss Jeffreys

I REALLY HOPE I GET IT!!!!!

Still a negative on that William - 996 messages to go until we get to 2000. Miss Jeffreys

i hope i get it

Umm, no you didn't. But only 997 more messages until we get to 2000! Miss Jeffreys

IS IT ME???? PLEASE I HOPE IT ME!!!! IT WILL BE REALLY COOL IF IT WAS!!

Sorry William - its not you. Miss Jeffreys

I had a fab time in London, the dinosaurs in the history museum were awesome, the science museum was brill, the squirrels in st james park were really funny and one of them took a piece of cornet from mums hand. We went in the london dungeons and mum had to stand in the stocks and be tried for being a witch, it was really really funny. we walked for miles and miles all around london and saw loads of cool cars..the best was it didnt rain!!!!!

I am glad you enjoyed your trip Harry but you really should have got on to the computer before your mother to tell us about it because she pipped you to the post by 4 minutes and 18 seconds and that makes you message 1001. Miss Jeffreys

Yep its me again...Miss J- I have seen Zoe Williams Zebra in her back garden..its next to where my cat goes to the cattery when we go away, he's beautiful, Zoe and Ben are really lucky.


**************************************************FANFARE PLEASE**************************************************

Oh ho ho - we are going to have a brilliant time this year - Andrew ad the rest of the children are in for a treat in the Autumn term - I have organised 3 visits before Christmas and 1 of them will be brilliant! (The others are really good too). In a few days I am going to go and visit the "special place" to do the Risk Assessment and try out the activities with my Lewis, Bethan and Jessica. They always get to be the guinea pigs for any visits planned for the class/phase. Can't wait but I won't say anymore as it can be a surprise then. Miss Jeffreys

My first holiday weekend has been lovely. I have been to Newquay in Cornwall!! I have just arrived home to lots of rain:-((( Just wondering - are we there yet?

hiya we are all enjoying our holidays and oakwood was so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe me and tayah are going up the comp we are going to miss Birchgrove Primary school and all the teachers

I can't believe that you are leaving us either! You will be missed by lots of people so you will have to come back/send in messages to let us know how you are getting on. Miss Jeffreys

I have just had my first lie in of the holidays!!! But sadly the weather is not very good. Any ideas for a rainy day? Fortunately, Monday was lovely and we all had a fabulous time in Oakwood. Yesterday, my class finally started to look like a classroom and by the time you all come back it will be all done I'm sure. Kyl - you will be with me next year but my new classroom is where Mrs. Palmer use to be. William - you sound disappointed that we haven't got a class website - we'll have a vote, if the majority want one then I'll get one up and running:-) Hope everyone has a lovely holiday and let's keep our fingers crossed for sunshine:-))
Miss Noble xxx

Mmm I seem to remember that you have us in stitches quite regularly Mrs D'Auria - and let's not get onto Mrs George! Miss Jeffreys

Hello everyone. Just to say a big 'Thank You' to you all for making me feel so welcome during my time in Birchgrove - i will miss the school very much! I hope that some of the children in my class will keep me updated and send me some lovely messages to make me smile in my new school :) Keep up the hard work!
See you all soon

Miss Hanley can I extend an invitation to you to visit us or leave a message for us anytime you can. The children were very lucky to have such a hard working, dedicated teacher as you. Your new school are getting a 1st class teacher - your new nursery class are going to have a wonderful year and what a way to start of their school experience with someone like you. Enjoy your new school and new class but don't forget us! Miss Jeffreys

I have had a lovely last Friday with my class. They have been a delight. Met my new class today too and am looking forward to getting to know them better in September. Let's keep our fingers crossed for sunshine on Monday!!!! See you all then, Miss Noble

I don't think the Y6's would mind even if it did rain on Monday as they are so excited about going to Oakwood. Miss Jeffreys

hello ive found out that im in miss nobels class but we where all slit up into diffrent classes even some of us where crying!!!! well never mind bye

No need to panic everyone - you will still see each other you are only in the next door class. You will all be fine. Miss Jeffreys

(Message 965)

Can I say a Birchgrove record breaking THANK YOU to the 50 (YES I DID SAY 50) people who took the time to send in messages to the Guestbook today. My fingers may be aching from writing replies to each and every one BUT it has taken us closer to our target of 1000 messages before the end of term on MONDAY. We need just 36 more ad we will be there. I WONDER WHO IT WILL BE? Miss Jeffreys

Well I have just come in from the Y6 concert and I had to let everyone know just how wonderful it was. The children sang beautifully and acted like professional entertainers. Gino was brilliant as Mrs George, James was fabulous as Miss Noble, Allie was amazing as Mrs Palmer but my absolute favourite had to be EMILY AS ME!! I couldn't stop laughing, but when she started to sing I was crying - it was so beautiful. The line dancers were perfect and Sam sang like an angel. So many wonderful pieces put together to make a cracking concert, really cracking (thanks Lewys for that line!) Well done Y6 pupils (and teachers) you have made us proud. Miss Jeffreys

Me and my group can't wait for Oakwood on Monday I am so excited to go on Tabogan run and all the other rides too and I can't wait for the food they got in Oakwood they are sooooooooo LUSH!!!

Don't eat too much before you get on the rides will you otherwise it will be .... well I think you all knowwhat could happen - let's just say the food could "re-appear" over everyone. Miss Jeffreys

Thank you Jeffery for your message, I love Thursday lunchtime too! The Year 6 concert this afternoon was fantastic! You must be so proud of yourselves! The acting and singing was outstanding. Look out Britain's Got Talent! I enjoyed every minute of it! I wish you all lots of luck in the Comprehensive we will miss you. Best wishes to Connor and Corey who are going to new schools I hope you will be very happy.

Can I add my good luck wishes to these please. Have a great time in your new schools boys. Keep in touch. Miss Jeffreys

wooooooooooooooooooooh!
today I just found out that miss noble is going to be my teatcher and I wanted miss noble to be my teacher wehey!

So that's good news then Kelsey - glad to hear it. Miss Jeffreys

Hello again Logan, let me know who is helping you to write into the website will you - they are being very helpful aren't they. Miss Jeffreys

I really enjoyed year 5 mrs Robert was a laugh she is one of my best teaches and i will miss her. Hope you have a good time teaching the next class you have have fun.Cerys

I am sure she will Cerys. Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone I can't wait untill I go up to comp and oakwood!I will miss everyone all the teachers and all the children.Espesialy Mrs Palmer.

I think lots of people are looking forward to going to Oakwood on Monday - what a treat for you. Miss Jeffreys
(message 957)

the best thing i like in year five is art and since

Are you very good at drawing Connor? I like drawing but am not very good at it - I do try though. Miss Jeffreys

and I think year five was a awsome year and the thing the best is the birchgroove comp because we were doing sports and science experimants

I wonder what experiments you will be doing Paul - if you are learning to turn metal into gold don't forget to come back down to see me and let me know the formula too. Miss Jeffreys

The best thing in y5 was learning new words and learning about the tudors.
i think I have learnt loads since y4
Mrs Roberts is a fair teacher to all the kids and has helped me lots
my friend is paul and i have worked with him a lot

I like that comment about Mrs Roberts being fair as I think that is very improtant - treat everyone else as you would like to be treated that is a good motto to live by. Miss Jeffreys

I've really enjoyed y5. I loved playing rounders outside and having lunch with Mrs D'Auria. I can't wait until I go to y6 though

The Thursday Luch Club was a great treat wasn't it Jeffrey - I enjoyed coming to visit you and staying for lunch, you always made me feel very welcome. Did you enjoy the biscuits Lauren and Nikita made for you today? Miss Jeffreys

Glad you enjoyed Harry Potter Miss J...we are going to see it in Leicester Square next weekend...can't wait
Hope your fingers are okay after all the Y5ER messages..more to come!!!!!

Well Mrs Gibbens the 43 messages I had today were fantastic - can't wait for more, we are getting closer to that magical number 1000.
P.S. You will love the film - I am going to see it again this weekend. Miss Jeffreys

THE THING I LIKE THE BEST WAS GOWING ICE SCATING.

Ice skating! You lucky things - we went to see an ice skating performance but didn't actually get on the ice ourselves. Miss Jeffreys

the best thing about year 5 was history and art.

Another vote for art - and I am not surprised you liked the history as you actually got to be part of the history sessions didn't you. Miss Jeffreys

I think year five has bin one of the best years of my life and I think PE has bin the best and maths aswell. mrs roberts has been very kind to us and mrs gibbens has ben very kind aswell.

I am sure that comment has made all of the children who are going into Mrs Roberts class feel very relaxed - no problems there she is obviously a well liked teacher. Miss Jeffreys

i think y5er is really fun and my best maths hobby is got to be maths thank you mrs roberts for being a great teacher and to mrs gibbens

How lovely Reece I am sure they both feel the same towards you. Miss Jeffreys

year 5 is brillunt i love it i hope evre body in year 4 will enjoy it iswell i loved art the most

i hope mrs roberts enjoys year 5 next year
thank you mrs roberts

Mrs Roberts you are very popular aren't you! Miss Jeffreys

The thing I liked most about miss roberts class is going on all diffrent types of trips that i really enjoyed

Trips are always a lot of fun and wait until you see what we have planned for next year in the Y1/2 classes! Miss Jeffreys

HISTORE IS MY FAVEVE SUBGECT. MRS ROBETS
IS THE BEST TEACH.

Chalk up another vote for History - now lets see who is keeping the score, is that 2 for history or 3? Miss Jeffreys

Maths is my favourite subject because I like doing angles and learning my times tables. mrs roberts helps the whole class not just one person.

You are the 1st to vote for maths Callum - good for you. Miss Jeffreys

I have really enjoyed maths this year especially graphs. PE was fun the best bit was rounders. Y6 will be fun

Ooh no you are the first to vote for maths Matthew - I am getting confused now - its all these messages my brain is overloading! Miss Jeffreys

Hi all i went to the comp on tuesday we learnt cromotography and we used bunsen burners they are cool bye

Now you know you have to be careful with those bunsen burners don't you - helath and safety and all - we have nurtured you and taken care of you so don't go throwing all of that away in the first week during science in the comp. Miss Jeffreys

I like my teacher mrs robberts .she s fun and reads us good history stories

What are you favourite history stories that you have heard Darcie? Miss Jeffreys

i really enjoyed year 5 it has been really fun i love most of the lessons i liked art and pe the most i really enjoyed being in mrs roberts class

Great news Georgia - I bet you are really looking forward to going into Y6 too. Miss Jeffreys

we cant wait untill the concert! it will be so fun. but because i gino have a crucil roll i am so scared

Oh yes the concert - I have heard rumours about the concert and I can't wait to see it. Miss Jeffreys

hi everyone I have really enjoyed doing pe.
I also love doing art because I love drawing
landscapes and I also love shading puitures.
see you soon.

Gosh that sounds technical Kelsey maybe you could give me some tips on ways in which I could improve my art. Miss Jeffreys

so nurves end of school play tonight so sad to be leving but will remember you all

Oh Niamh, don't be nervous it will be wonderful tonight - I have heard so many great comments about the concert that I am really eager to see it. Miss Jeffreys

hello. how are you miss jeffrreys?

Well my fingers haven't fallen off yet but they are a little tired and sore but I am brave and will carry on replying to the messages and grit my teeth against the pain! (Do you think that was a bit too dramatic?) How are you both? Miss Jeffreys

hi everyone sad to go but we will see you around
i will be keeping an eye out on the school website to see whats going on

That sounds like a brilliant idea Gavin and Aaron - then you can tell us all of your news from the big school. Miss Jeffreys

bye bye miss noble see u soon

Where are you going Jack? Why are you saying goodgye to Miss Noble? I am confused we are still in school for 2 more days. Miss Jeffreys

hi miss Jeffries hope u enjoyed the movie last night. did you have popcorn??

Well I shared some popcorn with my nieces Jessica and Bethan - they had popcorn and drink and nachos (yuk they smelt horrible, all that melted cheese ponged) so it cost me a fortune but the film was so worth it - I will be going again this weekend but no nachos this time. Miss Jeffreys

Hi everybody I went to see transformers 2 on the weekend, it was fantastic I would give it 10 out of 10

Oh that film looks a bit scary from all of the adverts I have seen - is it Lewys? Miss Jeffreys

I think the best thing in year 5 was p.e and art because its fun and creative bye.

You must have a creative soul Cerys. Miss Jeffreys

hope you enjoyed the film miss Jeffries!!! im going to see it in the holidays so dont tell me what happens!!!! see you soon!!!

Well Megan it starts off with Harry, Ron and Hermione going..... oh no wait I won't tell you as it would spoil the surprise for you. You will have a great time watching the film - let me know what you thought about Draco Malfoy. Miss Jeffreys

I can't believe we are leaving Birchgrove Primary already it has gone so quick we are going to miss the school sooo much

Well you know where we are so you only have to pop in or leave a message and that way you will be able to keep tabs on what is going on here with us. Anyway you will always be part of Birchgrove Primary School even when you are old like me (now you are supposed to say "But Miss Jeffreys you are not old - you are still young" - go on say it!) Miss Jeffreys

hiyas miss jefferies glad u enjoyed haarrry potter and the half blood prince i want to see that film

Tayah I would recommend that you do go to see it as it is brilliant - Megan is going why don't you go together. Miss Jeffreys

hi cant believe how quickly yr 6 has gone we'll miss birchgrove primary

Well its not over just yet - 2 days left, and there is always the guestbook to make sure we all stay in touch. Miss Jeffreys

Well even if you only write once a week that will be great Nicola. Miss Jeffreys

The thing i have liked the best in year 5 is doing the tudors in history!!! they were great

That did look like it was lots of fun Emma. Miss Jeffreys

I really liked being in mrs roberts class this year we did lots of different p.e and mrs roberts is a great teacher.

Well I know 1 teacher that will be very pleased to read this message Cleo - can you guess who that would be? Miss Jeffreys

I really enjoyed working on the tudors because they were really cool and i can't wait to go into y6 because it is going to be brilliant!!!

You will be the biggest in the school next year won't you - what a wonderful role model you will be for the younger childern Hywel. Miss Jeffreys

hi i will miss this school so much i cant beleave i am going up to the comp in september

Well you know where we are if you need us don't you George - just because you have moved to the comp it doesn't mean we don't still care. Miss Jeffreys

Hello everywon I've had a wonderful time in year 6!!!,and will be very sad to leave. Thankyou for a wonderful year!!!

Thank you Lorna for making it such a wonderful year for everyone in the school. Miss Jeffreys

the best thing in year 5 was p.e because miss roberts plays fare in rounders

I love rounders - I was always the bowler and if I do say so myself was rather good at it! Miss Jeffreys

hello
ive had a wounderful time in year 6

Thats good to hear Jacob - what made it so wonderful? Miss Jeffreys

I can't wait til oakwood it's gonna be awsome, and i even know my group. My group is me,Jacob,Cameron, Rhys.S,George, Luke and Rhys.T. We even know what the 1st 3 rides are which we are going on. Tabogan run 1st Hydro 2nd and then the tabogan 3rd to dry of.

So it is all planned out then Harry - I like making plans too, my family go mad with me when we go on holiday as I have everything planned down to the last minute. I call it beeing organised, my family call it control freak! Ho hum. Miss Jeffreys

Well. I need to help get this counter up now aswell.
Just to say a great big thank you to everyone in my class for such a lovely year. You have all tried hard to be the best you can be and have been a pleasure to teach. I can't believe you are almost Year One's!!

I'm glad you enjoyed Harry Potter Miss. Jeffreys. I can't wait to see it now.

Good luck to the Year 6's for their concert tomorrow. I can't wait to see that aswell!


Well I have just fallen off my chair - I can't believe it there are 43 new messages on the Guestbook today! Here is the first so I had better get going on the rest! Miss Jeffreys

Oh my goodness I have just returned from seeing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and I would give this film 10 out of 10. It was wonderful, amazing and brilliant (can you tell I am a big Harry Potter fan?). I will have to go and see it again and I can't wait!
Has anyone else been to see it? Let me know what you think please. Miss Jeffreys

P.S You may think its a bit odd but I actually felt sorry for Draco Malfoy in this film! I know he is Harry's mortal enemy but ahhh he is under a lot of stress.

Let me know Miss Jeffreys

Well Kelsey I am going to see Harry Potter on Wednesday too - and guess what I am SO EXCITED. Harry Potter is one of my favourite books/character/film. Maybe I will see you there. Miss Jeffreys

I noticed that the message counter was on 897 on Harry's message. That is only 3 away from 900 and 103 away from 1000! ( My mathematics is so good and I am only in Reception!) Well, I reckon if everyone made an effort and maybe shared their favourite moment from this shool year that we could make it to the 1000!!!! Come on let's try! The end of term is almost here!

Mrs D'Auria have a heart I have to read and reply to all of the messages! Now I do enjoy reading the emails but 103 in the next 6 days!!! My fingers will drop off and you will be to blame. Ok Ok Ok bring it on then 103 messages before Monday evening - the challenge has been set down so WILL YOU BE ABLE TO CARRY IT OUT? Miss Jeffreys

I can't believe I've only got one more Friday left in Birchgrove Primary School, and only 10 more sleeps until we go to OAKWOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)))))))))))))))))))))))

Hmmm does anyone get the impression that Harry is excited about the trip to Oakwood? Miss Jeffreys
(message 897)

Well done to all the Lunchtime club members who won awards today! You are fantastic! Thank you Ms Lloyd, Mrs Roberts and Miss Jefferys for attending and Mrs Treen for presenting the awards. How amazing are our children?

I couldn't agree more - it has been a pleasure to be a very very small part of the TLC club on a Thursday - I enjoyed coming for a visit now and again for lunch and would highly recommend it to others too. MIss Jeffreys

i cant wait till year 5 soon to be year 6 got to dan y coed because its all our first time going on a trip and staying over night!! yay cant wait

Sleepless nights here you come! Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone .Well I expect you all very glad that your school inspection is over.Goodness you must have been so hot that week as the temperatures were soaring.How lovely it was to read your teachers comments about your achievents that week.No wonder they are all so very proud of you.Of course I knew that you would be brilliant beause you always are and your behaviour is impeccable.I think the Inspectors must have been really delighed to visit such a wonderful school with chldren so clever and caring and teachers who are oustanding in their committment to make school life absolutely wonderful. So do enjoy your last few weeks at school and I hope to see you all soon. love from Mrs Joseph.xxxxx

Thank you Mrs Joseph for those lovely comments - we do appreciate the monumental effort the children put into keeping going during those HOT, HOT days, it was quite draining in that heat. We know that we have a great team (pupils and staff) here in the school but it is nice when others recognise it too. Miss Jeffreys

on friday my friend siobhan might be sleeping over my house can't wait:)

That's going to be fun Coral - what will you be doing on your sleepover - popcorn, DVDs? Miss Jeffreys

hello miss jeffreys i am very very very happy because today the school football team had a tournement and the a team won but the b team didnt win but they done real realy well.and now i cant wait untill tuesday because we have got another tournement i bet to stop talking now see you all tomorow.

Well done boys on both teams - you played your best and that is all we can ask for win or lose. Good luck with the next match boys. Miss Jeffreys

Hello everyone. What a wonderful week I have had. Firstly, I had a fabulous week with the children in my class. They were a credit to the school and really showed the inspectors what wonderful children we have in Birchgrove. My week ended with the boys football team winning the cup in the St. Joseph's school tournament. They played amazing football and my heart was pounding with the excitement!!! Fantastic winning goal Jordan and amazing teamwork Steve, Harry, Ben, James, Harvey and Nicky. You really deserved to win!!! Sam, Owen, Hywel, William, Jack and George - brilliant effort made. You played really well too. You were all amazing. A perfect week!!!!

How fantastic - what a winning team we are in our school. I think we are brilliant. Well done boys in the football team. Miss Jeffreys

Oh Allie. What lovely comments about our school. I think the inspection week couldn't have been better! I am so proud of all the children. You have all been fantastic and a real credit to the school. Considering we have all had the hottest week of the year, your behaviour has been fantastic as always. See you tomorrow. Miss Knight x

Oh can I add my voice to this comment - my children made meso proud they kept working right up to the end of each day even though we were so VERY hot. You are a credit to the school - each and every one of you. Miss Jeffreys

I'm feeling really sad after reading Mrs D'Auria's message. I can't believe someone has borrowed the Birchgrove scarecrow and not brought him back...you always have to return something after borrowing it. Lets hope he comes back soon. :(((

That is quite right Mrs Gibbens - the scarecrow is not part of the library you know! Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone, do you think inspection week is going well so far? Because I do. To be honest I have been enjoying the week so far, because we have been extra good in our class. I cant believe that Iam going to go up to the compreiensive! I am so going to miss this school, I have some really brilliant memorys, it's the best school in the world, well to me it is! I am so going to miss all the teachers here, they have been so kind and helpful to me and all the other children in year six!!!!!!!

Allie you are such a kind girl - at this time of the year all of the teachers start getting a bit down because we know our time with our children is running short. We have spent a wonderful year with our children and don't want to let you go. Miss Jeffreys

Can anyone help please? Are there any good detectives out there? Sammy the scarecrow who was designed and made by the Reception children is missing from the early years yard! We think someone has taken him as he can't run away as he has no legs!!!!! We have looked around the school but haven't had any luck! The chidren miss him very much and worked very hard to make him. If you see Sammy or know where he is please let Mrs Adkins or Mrs D'Auria know! Thank you very much x

Oh poor Sammy fancy kidnapping a scarecrow - come on Birchgrove can you look around for us please? The children worked so hard making him its a shame for them to feel so disappointed because someone has taken their scarecrow. Miss Jeffreys

i go out with jeffrie jones he is in year 5 i am in my friends house right now on her computer no one in ur school has msn who i knw

It is kind of your friend to let you use her computer Amy. Miss Jeffreys

hey u guys i came dawn to see miss palmer and she wasnt there so i was speakin to miss nobble. i saw miss loyd she hasnt changed a bit i may come dawn on monday k. are u plannin any school trips lately my school has arranged a trip to go to heatherton so exited cannot wait to go so un fair year 8,9 ns are goin to oakwood i realy want to go lol. bye for naw peeps lovin ya loadz miss ya bye

Well Kirsty, The Y6's are going to Oakwood at the end of term and all of the Infants are going to go strawberry picking down Gower - so we are looking forward to that a lot. Miss Jeffreys

Oh No! In my 'Law of the Land' book July 2009 (that is the advanced copy!) It states.............. The Law of the land requires any person who is more than four years old, very excited and really fantastic too.......to pick,store and eat any size strawberry they select including.......large, big ,huge, enormous, juicy, red and ripe ones! So..........Maybe we will have to share? Unless there will be a new law? I hope not! Anyway, now I think if I go to bed then that would mean there is one sleep less to wait!

Oh thank goodness, I am so glad that you have the updated version of the "Law of the Land" book as I would hate for any of the children to break the law by picking the big, delicious, juicy, red strawberries when they weren't supposed too. So just to clarify - ANYONE WHO IS OVER 4, VERY EXCITED AND REALLY FANTASTIC CAN PICK THE BIG, JUICY, DELICIOUS, RED STRAWBERRIES. Well that seems to cover all of the Infants then doesn't it -whoopie! Night night Mrs D'Auria, sweet dreams. Miss Jeffreys

i just wanted to thank Allie, Dylan, Rhys S, Caitlin, Keira, Dyane Leigh, Josh A, Chloe P for writing our new 'Welcome to school booklet'. You have worked very hard and been brilliant. Thanks to to Cerys H and Chloe L for their good ideas about what new pupils need to know. P.S Miss Jeffreys i will email you a copy to go on the website tomorrow.Remember to nag me.

Oh Mrs Treen you shouldn't have said that - you know that I can nag for Wales, in fact my class and I are champions at nagging (only so we remember to do things though not to be fussy you understand) I will be waiting outside your office at 8am ready to start the nagging! Miss Jeffreys.

I am so excited! I can't wait to go strawberry picking! How many more 'sleeps' is it?

Now I have some sad news to tell you Mrs D'Auria - I have been looking in the "Laws of the Land" book that I just happened to have in my house and it says....."When you go strawberry picking only the teacher with the initials CJ can pick the delicious, big, red, juicy strawberries - everyone else has to pick the small red strawberries". Who would have thought that a law like that would exist BUT THE LAW IS THE LAW! (Hee, hee, hee) I am really looking forward to going strawberry picking too. Miss C Jeffreys.
P.S It's 17 more sleeps.

Hi 4 more days till my birthday cant wait!

How old will you be Ryan? Miss Jeffreys

Hi Miss Jeffreys..thank you for the new website competition...all the children in the lunchtime ICT club are going to have a go this month so watch out for at least 16 new entries this month...Mrs G

Excellent news spread the news around the school - the more entries the better as far as I am concerned. Miss Jeffreys

I know you have been very busy collecting signatures for your petition so hopefully you will have a positive response. Miss Jeffreys

Thank you Miss Jeffreys.

Speaking of cleaning out garages, my Mum wants you to come and clean out her shed for her!
Ha! Ha!
Caitlin

Its a deal Caitlin tell your mum I will sort the shed out for her in exchange for her doing my planning for next weeks lessons! Miss Jeffreys

Mrs Jeffreys...
Is there a June competition?
And if there is, when will it start?
Sorry to be nosey :-)

Caitlin

Hello Caitlin, there will be a June competition but I had a very busy weekend so haven't had time to put it on yet (but my garage is wonderfully clean and all of the boxes of resources for school sorted out so that's a job off my list). I will be putting the competition online this coming weekend and we will have the draw on Friday 28th June during Seren yr Wythnos. Good luck to everyone

I thought I'd better let you know that China won the Olympics on Friday!! Everyone had a fab morning and showed excellent sportsmanship. I really liked the dressing up race and I also enjoyed playing the games that the children had created earlier in the week. Y5 and Y6 - let me know what you thought of healthy living week and if you have any good ideas for future learning weeks. You know how much i enjoy them! Have a lovely weekend and see you Monday.
Miss Noble x

Llongfarchiadau to China for winning the Mini Olympics on Friday. Now I know why the Y5s and Y6s have been practising their Italian, French and Spanish on me through the Guestbook. It all fits together now. Miss Jeffreys

(Thanks to Miss Noble for lettinng me know that China won the Mini Olympics)

I needed cheering up so I spent the last few minutes reading our guestbook and it has done the trick, thank you.
I agree about how much growing is going on here, when I took some new parents and their daughter into the Forest school we nearly had to crawl on our knees as the trees have grown so much!
I wanted to thank everyone for making our school look so wonderful inside and outside, all the staff and children have been working so hard and it shows.Fab!

We are so pleased that our comments helped to cheer you up Mrs Treen, some nights I am roaring with laughter at the messages that are sent in and other times I am really challenged and have to put my thinking cap on (see the Italian, Spansih, French and Welsh messages to see what I mean). The children and staff do keep me smiling even when I am not in school! Miss Jeffreys

Molto Buono Dylan! Sei molto intelligente!
Well done Dylan! You are very clever!
Guess what? I didn't Google it! What a challange, there must be lots of children out there who can say a few words in another language? Come on let's see what you can do! I know you are very clever ( molto intelligente!) Ha! Ha!

Well fancy that Mrs D'Auria can speak Italian - who would have thought it with a surname like that!! Ciao Miss Jeffreys

(Message 835)

neustra clase hacienda todo sobre Espana de esta semana

Oh no I don't need to have a sandwich just now thank you - that's what you said wasn't it?? What clever people we have in our school - French, Italian and Spanish. Here is an English phrase for you that my nan loved using "well aren't you the clever clogs!". So who else can speak a 2nd or even 3rd language? Write some phrases for us and we will try to translate them. Miss Jeffreys Now where is my Spanish dictionary?

nous faisons tout ce qui classe la France au sujet de cette semaine

Umm yes I think so, but its probably the next turning on the left. (I have no idea what you have said - but I am on the case to translate) Miss Jeffreys

Can I go to the toilet please - posso andare in bagno per favore?

My name is Dylan - il mio nome è Dylan

I found all these words on Google - ho trovato tutte queste parole su google

venire al mio partito – come to my party


welsh – Gallese
home – casa
hello – ciao
what shall i do now - Cosa devo fare ora

all of that is italian

Ardderchog - Excellent

Ti'n clyfar iawn - you are very clever

Es i ar y we hefyd i ysgrifennu y brawddegau hyn- I went on the web too to write these sentences

Wela i ti yn y bore - see you in the morning.

(HUGE THANKS to Mrs George for translating these sentences for me late last night just so that I knew these phrases were correct.)
Miss Jeffreys

whats happend to miss richards class page!!!

I know for a fact that Miss Richards is on the case and it will be sorted really soon - promise. Miss Jeffreys

hey i voted for diversity they were very good and funny i can belive jullian smith was third i thought hollie steel or stavros flately would of came third but never mind i did really n joy the series i wonder if anyone i know will go on britans got talent and make it through to the semis or final!


Well William you could always enter the competition yourself. Miss Jeffreys

heey! hope all is well in the primary, comp is really fun, some really cool teachers up there. oh ive just come back from devon in the caravan! THE WEATHER WAS FANTASTIC! i went shopping and bought LOADS of things and met alot of new people. im hoping to be moving down that way but we'll see ayy! hi to everyone!
ryy ") x

Lucky you are you taking the rest of your family with you or are you just going by yourself when you are older? Miss Jeffreys

Miss Jefferies did you enjoy it at longleat i went a few weeks ago iloved nico the gorilla the keeper said he has his owntv on his island how funny and i liked the bats when they flew the winGs were so quiet. hello Mrs joseph glad you and missy are well i have just got back from the beach iwas looking for crabs with dad we found four big ones it was fun looking at rockpools is missy enjoying lots of walks in the sun bouncer is being good hopping about the house we all send you our lovexxxxx

Hello Gabriella we did enjoy our visit to Longleat even though it rained all day long (good job we had our waterproofs). We went into the maze and I got a bit lost, I found my way out of it but I was really trying to get to the middle - I never did find my way to the tower at the center. I saw Nico too and was amazed to find out that his favourite cartoon to watch on his large screen tv was Sponge Bob Square Pants. Hope you had a lovely holiday, see you in school tomorrow Miss Jeffreys

hey everyone i just wanted to ask who do you wannah win britain's got talent? its the final tonight i can't wait! (:! anyways see yaa x


Well Katie I think I should be judge number 4 on Britain's Got Talent but the only problem is when a terrible act comes on the tv I have to turn over the channel as I get SO embarassed for them - that would be the time when I would be pressing my buzzer. However I think that the winner should be Stavros Flately - oh my goodness how funny are they! Otherwise I think the gentleman who playes the saxaphone is very good too. Miss Jeffreys

P.S Maybe we should think about holding a "Birchgrove Has Talent" I volunteer to be one of the judges NOT a contestant -anyone who remembers the last time the staff took part in a talent show will remember how CRINGEWORTHY my performance was and I will never ever do that again - I still have nightmares about it :O

Hello Ffion,
How lovely to hear from you. Year 4 P is just not the same without you, we all miss you ; )
I'm so glad that you are having a good time in your new school. Make sure you keep us up to date with how you are getting on. I'll say a big hello to Year 4P for you.
Take care
Mrs Pawan

Well, I feel like Rumplestiltskin now trying to get everyone to guess the names! Shall I tell you? I have tried out a few names but think I have finally made a decision now. They are both very handsome so I have named them after characters from my favourite books. So........ the black one is called Heathcliff and the grey one is called Mr Darcy! Miss Knight x

Oh Mr Darcy is my favourite too! What wonderfully theatrical names, but those characters were both very head strong so I think you are in for some trouble with those kittens. Miss Jeffreys

Hello everyone ! My goodness it has been a long long time since I have sent you a message.So it has taken me ages to read all your messages which I thoroughly enjoyed. You all sound so very happy and lead such very busy lives I wonder where you find the time to go to school.I do pass the school quite often but unfortunately haven't had the time to stop and say hello.However I hope it wont be too long before I do come ad see you.I cant wait to see all the wonderful things that the children in Reception are growing especially the ones planted in their od shoes .What an inspirational idea MRS ADKINS and MRS D'AURIA.I am sure that you are all doing exciting things in school and I cant wait to hear all about them.Enjoy your half term holiday and stay safe.Thank you Miss Jeffreys for the time you take to answer my messages I realy do look forward to reading them.Last message to all the gardeners in Birchgrove remember that 'ANYTHING THAT IS NURTURED WILL GROW' so happy gardening. Love to you all and a special hello to Gabriella Gow and family .Mrs Joseph and Missy.

I think that that quote 'ANYTHING THAT IS NURTURED WILL GROW' is true of our children in our school too - I know we used to use that motto in the old Infants school and it is still apt now. We will keep nuturing our children, friendships and our plants Mrs Joseph if you keep popping in to see us and sending us lovely messages. Miss Jeffreys

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's Superteacher!!!! Only joking Miss Jeffreys! On a serious note you are very clever and have worked really hard maintaining our school website since you first set it up. A big well done Miss Jefferys!

Mrs D'Auria my head will be too big to get through the class door if you keep this up! Diolch yn fawr for that comment. Miss Jeffreys

Keep guessing Miss Jeffreys!

Ok I have thought long and hard about these and have quite a list for you Miss Knight so how about -
Hannah and Montana? Biff and Boff? Troy and Gabriella? Sharpay and Ryan? Katie and Pete? Lola and Lily? Miley and Smiley? Jim and Jam? Faith and Hope? Up and Down? Sooty and Sweep? Humpty and Dumpty? Coke and Cola?

Are any of these close Miss Knight? If not please give us a clue - what are the 1st letters? COME ON BIRCHGROVE JOIN IN AND SEND US YOUR GUESSES TOO - DON'T LEAVE ALL THE HARD WORK TO ME! Miss Jeffreys
P.S. To give you inspiration for your names visit Miss Knight's website to look at the pictures of the 2 adorable kittens - shame we don't know their names yet isn't it.

miss richards website i so not know how to get on there anymore!!!
can anyone help me? bye!

Don't worry William I have checked to see what the problem is and the link has been removed so I will get in touch with Miss Richards to let her know and we will get the link restored as soon as possible THEN you can go onto the class page and leave messages etc. Miss Jeffreys (who would think that by day I am a mild mannered teacher and by night/holiday I am a super hero website manager solving problems at the speed of light!)

Hello everyone. What beautiful weather to start off our holidays! I hope it stays like this all week so that you can have lots of fun outside. I also want to let Stephanie know that the kittens have settled in really well and have made themselves right at home. I have put photos of them on my class website if you want to see them. Enjoy the rest of the holidays. Miss Knight x

So Miss Knight do we have names for the kittens yet? Let me guess - Toffee and Treacle? Chalk and Cheese? Long and Short? Bill and Ben? Gavin and Stacey? Any of those right? Miss Jeffreys

Dear Miss Knight
Today I planted my sunflower you gave me. I gave it lots of water to help it grow. love Andrew

Miss Knight: Hi Andrew. What a perfect day to plant the sunflower! Fingers crossed that this lovely sunshine stays and hopefully our sunflowers will shoot up! Have a lovely holiday and let me know if you get up to any more gardening. Miss Knight x

Well Andrew my class have planted their sunflowers too and we have put them in the picnic area in school with all of our vegetable and salad seeds. We are hoping to see some growth when we go back to school. Miss Jeffreys

Hi Rhian, I am sure that you will help the new year 7 children to settle in September, its nice to hear that past pupils are still looking out for their Birchgrove Primary friends. Thanks Rhian. Miss Jeffreys

HIYA EVERY 1 ITS MONICA ALLEN AND KRISTIAN HOW IS EVERY 1 I MISS U ALL

We are very well thank you both, what have you been up to since you have left our school? Miss Jeffreys

ppl i used 2 go 2 this school tell jessica hodson i want 2 speake 2 her.

Hello Monica how lovely to hear from you I, how are you and your brother Kristian? I am sure Jessica will be sending you a message throught the guestbook very soon. Miss Jeffreys

Midnight and Dusk are lovely names. Thank you to Charlotte for the suggestion! Any other ideas anyone? I am very excited about my new kittens. My animal family is forever expanding! I even have the local snails trying to 'worm' their way in through my utility room window to live with my Giant Land Snails! Miss Knight x Oh and Mrs Adkins, you were definitely laughing the loudest at my swan dive!!

Hi, My son is due to start in the Nursery in Sept and I love reading all the childrens comments, its great they are so involved! I think the grey and white kitten should be "Misty" and the black one "onyx"

MISS KNIGHT: We are really glad that you are visiting the website to find out all about us and we really look forward to welcoming your little boy to Nursery in September. We all love reading the Guestbook too. Thank you for the name ideas! I think our next website competition could be 'Guess the names of Miss Knight's kittens!'

Hello Mrs Adkins. The garden does look (and smell) lovely! Charlotte and her friends were very proud to show me all the plants on the way home today! We had a little chat to them so hope that will help them grow!! (Ha ha) Charlotte's Granny is busy growing you some more plants ready for after the half term holiday. Let us know if you'd like her to lend you her green fingers anytime! I'm getting quite into this guestbook you know!!!!

Spread the word to all of your friends about the guestbook so they can leave comments too - we enjoy having messages from other countries so if you have relatives living away from Birchgrove pass on the website address onto them too please. Miss Jeffreys

Hi Miss Knight, very exciting to be having two new kittens! How about calling the black one Midnight and the grey and white one Dusk! Or you could be very traditional and go for Sooty (for the black one) and Smudge (or Smudgy) but I'm sure the children will come up with much better idea's though ha ha!


Oh I like the names Midnight and Dusk they are very original, its got my vote - but hang on I better wait until I hear the rest of the suggestion first before I make my final decision. Miss Jeffreys.
COME ON EVERYONE WHAT DO YOU THINK THE KITTENS SHOULD BE CALLED?

Hello again. Yes there were biscuits involved (choc ones yum yum yum)! We just about to try the competition before school - wish us luck !

I am sure it is the law you know - a cup of tea MUST, ABSOLUTELY MUST been accompanied by chocolate biscuits. Pob lwc with the competition. Miss Jeffreys.

Hello everyone. Everytime I read this guest book it makes me smile and think about all the good things going on in our school!!
I wish I was going ice skating tomorrow, Miss. Knight almost kicked Mrs. Joseph in the head when she missed the chair....it was very funny!! Try to stay on your feet tomorrow!!
Hello to Charlotte's Mum. That sounds a very enjoyable afternoon. Hope Charlotte wasn't too muddy after gardening today?

A big thanks to all of my children for their hard work with our planting. Make sure you all have a look at it on your way past the top school...it is absolutely fabulous!!
Miss. Jeffreys, this website is fantastic. Well done!
See you in the morning
Mrs. Adkins

Hello Mrs Adkins thank you for your kind comment about the website. I need to pay you and your children a compliment too - your garden in the top school looks wonderful, the children have worked very hard to make the outside areas look so beautiful. Miss Jeffreys
P.S When the strawberries have grown don't forget to save me one - strawberries are my favourites ;)

Enjoy the ice skating tomorrow everyone in Y5 and 6. Last time I went to the ice rink I fell over and nearly ended up on Mrs Joseph's head!! And that was just sitting down in my seat! Ha ha! I am having 2 kittens on Friday and am thinking of names I can call them. Has anyone got any ideas? They are 2 boys. One is all black and one is grey and white. Let me know if you can think of any names. Miss Knight x

Hello this is Charlotte's (from Mrs Adkins class) Mum here. Just having a look at the wonderful website and thought it was about time we added a message. Hope Charlotte is having a lovely day. Just having a nice cup of tea before I come to school to pick her up. Hope this message works!

Well as you can see the message got through and it did make me chuckle. I can just see you sitting back and really enjoying that cup of tea before Charlotte comes home - was there a biscuit to go with the tea? Glad you like the website - please leave another message soon. Miss Jeffreys

Don't worry though no-one else gets to know the information, its just so we can trace any "odd" messages - the wonders of modern technology, it amazes me everyday.

We would love to see you when you are visiting Swansea. Take care of yourself and pass on our "hellos" to Bronwen and Dylan please. Leave us another message for us soon. Miss Jeffreys

Hi! I fell off Piper(The horse I was riding) on Sunday! We were jumping about 4ft and Piper started to slow down coming up to the jump. Then, he went realy fast a threw himself at it! I was leaning too far forward and fell over his sholder! It was the first time I fell off but it was fun! Come and see my horse website that me and my friend Emily own at www.spiritofhorses.webs.com

Just a reminder for parents (and children) please make sure that the websites you visit are safe and that you know what sites your children are looking at. Miss Jeffreys

When I come to school in the morning I sometimes see some of the comprehensive pupils who used to attend our school. They always say good morning, stop for a chat or catch up with our school news. I had a chat with Kirsty Jones and Adam Fabio Gow this morning and they really cheered me up! I think it is really lovely that they keep in touch.

for monsters vs aliens i would put 4/5

Good score there George - it was abviously a hit with you. However you sent this messages to the Guestbook 7 times so the real score is 28/35. Miss Jeffreys.
P.S Has anyone seen the Hannah Montana film? Let me know what you thought of it as my nieces are trying to persuade me to take them to see it. Miss Jeffreys

Hello all i am having a nice time as i have been having a BBQ and it was lovely with all the burgers and hotdogs with onions and orange juice to drink.

It has been lovely weather this weekend okay speak to you all soon love BEN xxx.

Hi everbody, hhmmm its not fair because I only had a few eggs on easter and I had to go to a party on Easter so no time to eat my eggs


Can't you eat your eggs now instead? - they don't have to be eaten on Easter Sunday, you can spread them out you know. Miss Jeffreys

hiya, yesterday i went to Aberavan and had a great time . I went in the sea, played in the park, made sandcastles and had some fish and chips. i realy enjoyed it!!!:-)


You had lovely weather for you visit to Aberavan Tayah - it sounds like it was a real treat for you. Miss Jeffreys

Hi yesterday I wen't to go see Race to witch Mountain I'd give it a 2 out of 5 because I didn't really see a story line to it but thats just my opinion!!!


Everyone's opinion is valid Lorna - the film was obviously not your cupof tea. Miss Jeffreys

Hi Miss J...I would give aliens v monsters 3D a five out of five for the special effects..they were amazing!!


Excellent - the Birchgrove Film Review has started. Miss Jeffreys

i went to see '17 again' it was awsome

Yes I have heard that it is a really good film..... are you by any chance a fan of Zac Efron? Miss Jeffreys

helo mrs palmer
in the holidays i whent to see monsters vs aliens

Was it a good film? Maybe we should start reviewing the films we go to see so that our friends in school can know if it is worth going to see. So George - out of 5 what would you give the film? (1 is terrible, 5 is amazing) Miss Jeffreys
(Message 756)

hello everyone i had a brilliant day today because i played football all morning for my football team and then i went to watch the swans and swansea won and swansea played realy well but my mother had to come but i still had a realy realy good time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I don't think it will be long before we are saying on the guestbook "We went to see the Swans play today and Steven was playing for them - he used to be in our school!" Glad you are enjoying the holiday. Miss Jeffreys

I am soooooooooo bored because i have been sitting in the dark thinking about stuff (sleeping)
and i dont know what to do now. any ideas?

Well does anyone have any ideas for Nicola? I am digging the garden on the weekend ready for new turf to be laid - the skip has to be filled with the stones and rocks that are around the edge of the garden at the moment so if you are really bored....... you know what they say "Many hands make light work". Miss Jeffreys

Dear miss Jefferys,Hope you all have a nice time in Folly Farm.We had a great time.The giraffes were realy big and tall and they had very long necks.We were very lucky with the weather and I hope you have lovely weather too.

Thank you Craig we did have a lovely day at Folly Farm and the giraffes were amazing! I knew that they were going to be tall but standing next to them made me realise just how tall they were -WOW. The weather was a little dreary and it did rain but we had our waterproofs and wellies so we were fine. See you on Tuesday Miss Jeffreys.

Hi everyone, Megan is sleeping over my house today.Eeeeekkk!!! We are both excited! We just went out to get some ice-cream from the ice-cream van, and we just saw Bradley there. We ordered what we wanted, and we needed to call the ice-cream van back to see what we could have for 25 pence! He started to drive off, so we had to call him back, we got 2 packets of Harrybo's and a lolly-pop.

P.S Mrs Palmer do we have to do all the homework? We are a bit confused

You can tell that summer is on the way because the ice-cream vans are out and about. Miss Jeffreys

hello! yesterday I went to see race to witch mountin and it was really good and funny!

Where did you go to see the film Megan? - UCI or Vue? How would you rate the film on a scale of 1-5 (1 is terrible, 5 is amazing)? Miss Jeffreys

(Message 748)

Hi Everyone I saw Monsters v Aliens 3D today it was awesome. We had a big tub of popcorn between us but Sam ended up wearing more than he ate, it was funny!!

You think that Sam would be able to find his mouth by now wouldn't you - he is in the comp after all! I am assuming that you would recommend this film to your friends then Nicola (but maybe they should leave messy big brothers at home). Glad you had a good time at the cinema. Miss Jeffreys

Hi Lorna, sorry it took a couple of days to put the homework onto our class page. It is all there now, there is more than enough for you to get on with. Enjoy your holiday, say hello to Miffy from me!!

Hi everyone, hope you are all enjoying your holiday. I had a fantastic time at the Tina Turner concert thanks Harry.

Today me. my step-dad and my step-brother went to cardiff and had K.F.C it was lovely.
Ok see you soon everybody!!!


Sounds like the Easter holidays are going well for you Allie. Miss Jeffreys

am sooooooo tempted to do the old is it me routine again to get to the 1000 message but guess my name would be mud!!!!!!
could do a mini prize of some sort tho if we wanted

Thank you Mrs Gibbens for not doing that and saving my sanity as over 250 "Is it me?" "What number is it now?" "Am I the 1000th message yet?" would push me over the edge! Have a good Easter break. Miss Jeffreys
P.S This is message number 728 - just for you to know.

Does this count Hywel? Hope you are having a good holiday so far and not eaten ANY eggs yet! What have you done with the sunshine by the way?

with all that homework Mrs Palmer I wont be able to visit anywhere!!!!!!!But today I went to see Monsters V Aliens in 3D. It was awesome and the effects were really clever. Hope you enjoyed Tina Turner.See you soon with half a tree worth of homework,will we green bag it after?


Haha Well lots of your friends have been asking for the homework nagging Mrs Palmer for it to be put on the website - so now you all have to pay the price! Glad to hear that you are recycling though. Miss Jeffreys

Hi guys i've just been wondering if any of my class have put messages on the guestbook??? Anyway Happy Easter everyone!!!!!!! P.S Mrs Roberts,is Lucy eaten any of her easter eggs yet?

Happy Easter to you too Hywel - and no-one should have eaten any eggs yet as it isn't Easter until this weekend! How can anyone have eaten them anyway as the Easter Buny hasn't delivered them yet? Its a mystery to me. Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone I have been going down the park alot with Amy and Lorna,it has been really fun.Hope your having a nice easter.
BYE!!!!!

That's lovely girls - you take care when you are out and about won't you and make sure that your parents know where you are. Miss Jeffreys

I knew it would be available soon, Mrs Palmer is on the ball you know - patience is all that was needed! Miss Jeffreys

I've been reading high school musical 3 and it's intresting.Happy easter Miss Jeffreys.


So far this holiday I have watched High School Musical 1 and 2 so before I come back to school I need to look at High School musical 3 and then I have seen them all. Are you a big fan of High School Musical then Amanda? If so who is your favourite character? I think that Ryan is very funny. Happy Easter to you Amanda and Nicolas. Miss Jeffreys

Just been reading some of the comments from the children, but what a dedication from the teachers especially Miss Jeffreys to find time to answer them all!Well done.


Thank you for taking the time to leave a message on the Guestbook for us Mrs Edwards, I do enjoy reading and having a "chat" with all of the children via the internet. I am on the website most days adding things to both the main school site and my own web page - infact this evening I have been busy adding 7 more pages to my class website showing details and photos of all of the wonderful activities we get to do in our class. HINT HINT - everyone go and visit my class website please and leave a message on there for my children! Miss Jeffreys

Dear Mrs Palmer,
I just looked on our class page, to look what are homework, and I didn't see what our homework was.
love
Allie


I will get in touch with Mrs Palmer and see if she can sort things out for you. Miss Jeffreys

You don't have to put this online but why arent there anymore messages on the guestbook lately and wheres the homework mrs palmer said she'd put online im confused.com


Is this better? I do put the messgaes onto the Guestbook as fast as I can but some days life gets in the way and I can't get onto the computer everyday, especially in the holidays. Sorry - I will try to keep up with you all.

P.S You know your secret identification - well its not a secret really as the website identifies your computer to me and saves the details just in case I need to follow things up. Miss Jeffreys (Secret Agent 006)

hello hope u are all having a very nice holoday

And the same to you George. Miss Jeffreys

Mrs Palmer PPPPPPLLLLLLEEEEEAAAAASSSSSSEEEE that said please by the way. Oh when is our homework going to be put online

Hello everyone! Just to say I hope the Easter bunny hops into Birchgrove and leaves you lots of eggs! If you have too many then you can always share...........with ME! Enjoy the holidays and stay safe. I wonder if there will be a prize for 'person 1000' on the guest book? Is it me? Is it? Have the guest book been really busy? Is it Me? I would like a chocolate egg for a prize! Is it me?


Well how can I put this delicately Mrs D'Auria, mmmm - oh I know. I am so sorry to tell you Mrs D'Auria that unfortunately you are not the 1000th message on our Guestbook. BUT keep trying you never know one day IT COULD BE YOU. Miss Jeffreys

Hello everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the Easter holidays. Buddy, my dog, is enjoying the extra company and I had an extra hour in bed this morning too!!! I've been looking at the recent messages and it's lovely to see so many people leaving us a message. Hello Alice - Good luck with your GCSEs. I can't believe that you're about to leave the comp. It is making me feel old!!! Hello to you too Ben, hope you are feeling better soon and Ryan, I'm glad you have so many happy memories!! We're off to Oakwood again this year and I know lots of the children are looking forward to it! A big happy Easter to everyone especially all the children in Y6N - I'm looking forward to hearing about what you've been up to in your holidays. Enjoy and see you soon. Miss Noble xx

hello everyone my brother has been noty and im bored

Couldn't you keep your brother out of trouble and that would stop you getting bored at the same time. Miss Jeffreys

to miss jefferys i have just got back from spain today i went to see my nan and bamp - and it was awesome! by the way i didnt write the messages on the 27th and 28th march - somebody eise did and used my name.

hello everyone i realy enjoyed the swans and cardiff match but im gutted they drew but im realy realy realy happy man u won!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh my goodness wasn't it an exciting last few minutes - who would have predicted that ending to the Swansea and Cardiff match? I listened to it on the radio with my Lewis who is a HUGE fan of the Swans and even though he is only 5 he was on the edge of his seat cheering Jason Scotland on (he is his favourite player) and groaning out loud when Cardiff scored. Miss Jeffreys

Why hasn't Mrs Palmer put the Homework on line yet?

Perhaps she is relaxing and enjoying the first few days of her holiday Lorna. I am still on the look out though. Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone, I know that it's only been two days but is everyone enjoying their holidays. I am.


Me too Allie. Miss Jeffreys

xxx

Mmmm, can't see anything in the Guestbook messages about homework yet Lorna but as soon as it is sent through to me I will put it on. Miss Jeffreys

Hi,
did you find the feather duster?
from Mrs Julie Lloyd

No, I had to make do with the good old yellow duster instead - knowing my Lewis he has probably pulled all of the feathers off it to make a model something or other. He is into building and creating things at the moment, no box is safe in our house and all of the silver foil has been used up on the space ship he made the other day. Miss Jeffreys

Hi there everyone hope you are enjoying school and learning about St Lucia and how to build shelters, Rachel has told me all about it, she has been using my computer to look up about St Lucia she wanted to print some pictures to bring to school, but my printer is playing up and wont print anything, which is a shame, l'll have to get it sorted. hope you all get lots of easter eggs, but dont eat them all at once, or you'll be sick. bye for now. Rachel's nana x x x


Hi Rachel's nan lovely to hear from you I am glad that the St Lucia project is turning into a family affair in your house. Miss Jeffreys

hi miss Jefferys,
how are you today?
lots of love Rachelxxxxxx

I am very well thank you Rachel, I am about to start the big spring clean - I would have finished by now but when I checked my emails there were 13 messages on the guestbook so I decided to reply to them first then do the cleaning - your message is the last one I need to put on so I suppose I can't put it off any longer! Oh well, now let me think where did I put the feather duster? Miss Jeffreys

P.S THIS MESSAGE IS OUR 700TH ON THE GUESTBOOK - WHAT AN AMAZING AMOUNT! KEEP GOING AND LETS SEE IF WE CAN GET UP TO 1000 BEFORE THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. Miss Jeffreys

I'm soooo happy, my letter came today and I've defo got a place at Birchgrove Comp. YIPPEE. Hope everyone has a fun Easter Holiday...see you all soon

Hi every one if joe is here i am sorry you could not come to my party i did not have your number. congratulations swimmers for the gala we all did our very best and thats all that counts


I couldn't agree more - our school motto is "Always be the best that you can be" and no-one can ask for more than that. Miss Jeffreys

Happy Easter to you too Jack. Miss Jeffreys

wellwellwell. its been nearly a year, since ive been in birchgrove comp and i have to say. i miss primary! all those good memories of primary, some good times. im going to oakwood in two weeks and i will be thinking of the primary as i went with the school, and it was sooo good. the funniest bit was when me and liam pugsley where on megafobia and he was going "ryan is it good, im shakin, isit good ry?" and he kept asking and all i said was "you'll see" and he looked really scared. that was a really good day, that will never ever be forgotten. this website is really good! i hope everything is good down in primary, i see you are having a extension, looks good so far! good luck!
ryan x


What a lovely message Ryan, I am glad that you are enjoying the comp but I do have to say I feel very proud when past pupils write in to say that they have fond memories of their time in Birchgrove Primary School, we all remember you and the good times we all had to but time does move on unfortunately. Keep in touch Miss Jeffreys
P.S. I have just been looking back through all of the comments on the Guestbook (and there are LOTS) and I have noticed that Ryan first left a message way back on 27th Spetember 2007 when he was corridor monitor in Y6N! Ryan you are part of the school website's history.

Hi Joe Sophies really exited about seeing u on tuesday good luck in you're new school nd by the way how is it in you're new school! have u made any friends yet?xx But I bet your teacher isn't as nice as Mrs. Roberts! mrs roberts wrote that because we are with her in the computer suite for golden time....xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Happy Easter to you Ben, I am sorry to hear you are unwell again - you seem to have been off school a lot lately with an upset stomach, get well soon. Miss Jeffreys

Hey Ms Lloyd.
I really enjoyed the trip. I was disappointed that Joseph was not there, but im sure he can go again. Scott came home for tea, and Joseph told the story to his Nanna about the bus then Scott took over and described the rest of the trip. We are off to Monkey World in Poole, Dorset later......... I hope they dont capture Joseph!!


Have a great time and please make sure you do come home with Joseph. Miss Jeffreys

Now that is everything is organised I can spend time on finding out about my special friends in Birchgrove Primary School.Glad to hear that Bouncer likes his new toys I expect he has lots of fun with them. Missy is being very good and every day we go to the river for her to collect stones and twigs which she the tries to eat. SILLY DOG.I hope you have a lovely birhday Allie - I just cant believe that you will be 11 years old.Happy birthday wishes to Miss Jeffreys and Mrs Adkins, hope you both have a lovely birthday. Well Gabriella I will try to come into school soon to see you and bring you a photograph of Missy for you to keep. Until I see you next give my love to Adam ,Mum, Dad and not forgetting Bouncer.HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL and stay safe during the holidays. SEE YOU SOON. LOVE MRS JOSEPH.XXX

There you go girls I told you that Mrs Joseph would be in touch soon, she does ask about you all when I see her or talk to her on the phone. Thank you for the birthday wishes Mrs Joseph, unfortunately I wont be in school to celebrate my birthday as I will be on a course in Bridgend in the woods looking at how we can improve our outdoor learning, shall I bring a few sticks back for Missy? However I will be there to sing penblywydd hapus to Mrs Adkins on Thursday when it is her birthday.A few of us went out for tea tonight as a treat and I was lucky enough to have a birthday cake brought to the table as a surprise - I shared it of course with my friends :-) Miss Jeffreys

Hi...am sure the HSA would love to fund another competition, I will make sure I speak to all the people concerned and smile nicely at Miss J to sort it out over the Easter holidays...and if we go to St Lucia my suitcase is already packed!x


You know me Mrs Gibbens I will always make time to do things to promote the website - what vouchers would we like this time? I was thinking about some from the Swans shop and would like to have some suggestions from the children too. Miss Jeffreys

Hi ms Lloyd
I hope you are having a nice weekend.I am really looking forward to the year 3 trip.What skills are we doing in tennis and maths and english ?

Mmmm, will you be doing the tennis, Maths and English all at the same time? Lets see maybe the skills would be to see if you could give a running commentary on the game of tennis whilst working out the probability of you winning the game, or maybe not. Miss Jeffreys

Hello everybody ...


Yuk Nicola thats gross - sorry I'm not putting that on the website it will put people off their tea. Pleasant events only please! Miss Jeffreys

hi joe itz sophie wen r u cumin up 2 call 4 me ? xx

i dont wanna be cheeky but why dont we do the conpitition anymore we used to do compititiond it was great can we we do it again please?????????

YOU cheeky? No-one would ever say that about you Georgia. The competition was a great success last year so I suggest that you ask the school council to put it forward to the HSA and we will see what happens from there. Remember everyone PEOPLE POWER GETS THINGS MOVING - so jump to it. Miss Jeffreys

hi everyone i cant wait intill the easter holidays i like being in year5 it just has to much work thou :D and i love learning about st.lucia it is great

Oh now Rhys I have to correct you there - WE PLAY IN THE SNOW TOO! Ask your brother, we go out in all weather (unless its is a real strom with thunder and lightning or heavy rain) the children in the Infants know to wear their coats to school and they can go out to play. If all of the juniors brought their coats everyday you could all go out in the snow too - so come on Juniors you are missing out on SO much fun. Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone, i am so disapointed that joe left. I hope he comes back and visit us. On Friday nearly everyone in our class was crying because Joe was leaving our school.

Hello every body I hope you're having a nice weekend! My baby rabbit, called Miffy is nealy 1
years old! AWW!

I am having a great weekend Lorna - the sun is shining and I have been in the garden planting new flowers in the pots for the patio and collecting the leaves from the trees that fell off ages ago. Happy 1st birthday Miffy (when is it your birthday?) Miss Jeffreys

Pretty good here, it actually rained today, but my grass is still brown....It is easy to forget how beautiful and green it is in Wales. Somethings are the same, my daughter still swims but normally in an outdoor pool....my son still plays football but here they call it soccer and people keep saying good day!!!
Kangeroos are the cutest animals I have ever seen and my daughter has just corrected me and said they are a marsupial....ask your teacher as marsupials apparentlly can only be found in Austrailia.
The best thing is that Wales beat Italy and will beat Ireland next week .....come on WALES

Good to see that you are still a Welsh man at heart. What a shame it rained for you yesterday although you were probably really glad it did - that is something that is the total opposite of here, we keep our fingers crossed for warm, dry days and you get that most of the time. Keep in touch we would love to hear more news from the sunny side of the world. Miss Jeffreys

We've already had some great homework projects about the Victorians. You are becoming real experts.
Ms Lloyd

Hi Miss Knight too!!

Hi Khalid and Miss Jeffries, I am enjoying learning about the Victorians too, I prefer our school a lot better than the one in St Fagans! Bet they didn't have a Red Nose Disco!! Me and Khalid are going to see the wrestling soon at the LC2, we can't wait!

Wow what a treat for you both. I have looked it up on the internet and in all of my history books and you are quite right - the Victorians did not have a Red Nose disco. Miss Jeffreys

Hi miss knight and miss jeffries .my nanny is going to make a cake for red nose day! I bet it is going to look and taste great she makes nice things like pancakes,welsh cakes,pies and jam tarts.I know you two LOVE cakes

Oh Aaliyah you made me laugh when I read your message! You know me too well, can your nanny adopt me? Yum yum yum Miss Jeffreys

Hello Khalid. I am glad that you are enjoying being in Mrs George' s class and learning all about the Victorians. Did you enjoy your trip to the St Fagan's school house? I hear that Mrs George was not such a nice teacher on that day when you were all transported back in time! I was quite scared myself when I heard about all the things that used to happen in a Victorian school. I don't think I would have liked to be a pupil or teacher then!! See you tomorrow. Miss Knight x

Hello Aaliyah. Not long to wait for your birthday now! That pamper party sounds so exciting and I know that all your friends will absolutely love it! You lucky girls. Have a fantastic time and let me know all about it. See you tomorrow. Miss Knight x

I didn't have any pancakes - I am saving them for this weekend instead. Did you have lemon, sugar or chocolate with your pancake Nicola? Miss Jeffreys

I have hurt my elbow because earlier i pulled my sleeves up to wash my hands and the scab of my elbow from my burn from playzone came off well actually its hanging off and i have got a plaster on and really feel like picking it but im not going to!

Thanks for sharing that with us Nicola! Leave it alone ok. Miss Jeffreys

Congratulations Jacob on the safe arrival of your new brother. Hope everyone is well and we look forward to seeing a picture of him really soon xx

Well that is great news Jacob, can I add my congratulations too, a baby brother - how wonderful. Does he have a name yet? Miss Jeffreys

Yo! i went to the gnoll on friday and got stuck in a bog. it was really muddy and smelly!!!(i admit i stunk) Hope your all doing fine. Mrs Jeffreys who won the lc2 poster competition because i havent heard any news.

Mmm muddy and smelly - sounds like a lot of fun Nicola, what were you doing?
The LC2 poster competition was run by the LC2 all I did was collect the entries and pass them on to their office. As we haven't heard anything from them I am assuming that nobody from our school won. Sorry - I thought that the posters were great, really creative. I will give the LC2 a ring and see what else I can find out but it will have to be next week as I am on a Welsh course this week. Nos da.

Hi Poppy. Thankyou for the message. I had a lovely half term and enjoyed playing in the sunshine with my little boys Jack and Rhys. It sounds like you really enjoyed Folly Farm. Jack and Rhys love going there too! It was great seeing all the children back in school today with lots of holiday news to share.

Hi everyone today i went for my first swimming lesson i enjoyed it and will be going with my grampa paul every sun morning ive had a very nice week off but looking forward to going back to school monday.xxx


What a lovely treat for you Sean, you are good boy learning to swim, it is a very important thing to do. Its great to hear that you have had a good half term and that you are looking forward to going back to school.Miss Jeffreys

hi everyone i hope you r all enjoying your half term i have

That is good to hear Leonie what have you been up to during the holidays then? I have been on the computer most of the week working (do I hear an aaahhh?) Although we did have some fun - Lewis, Jessica, Bethan and I have been down to Mumbles for a long walk, to the cinema where we saw Scott and Joseph from my class and yesterday we went to visit Mrs Adkins and Mrs Watkins and their children. The boys all had a great time on the trampoline and playing ball. Miss Jeffreys

SORRY MISS J BUT WE COULDN'T RESIST!! HOPE EVERYBODY HAS HAD A FAB WEEK OFF AND SEE YOU ALL MONDAY HOPEFULLY WITH SOME BABY NEWS FROM BRADLEY AND JACOB X

Thanks for being so dedicated you two. Miss Jeffreys

WE'VE GOT R FINGERS CROSSED

How can you type if you have your fingers crossed? Better uncross them now as we passedd 11111 a while ago. Miss Jeffreys

WE REALLY WANT IT TO BE US

Mmmm not its not you sorry. Miss Jeffreys

ARE WE NEARLY THERE YET

Ooops no you're not there yet, in fact we have gone past it! Miss Jeffreys

IS IT US YET

Umm nope not you. Miss Jeffreys

we will!!!

Now I knew that there would be a lot of competition to get visitor number 11111 BUT Harry and Mrs Gibbens you both took it to the extreme! Sorry your aren't number 11111 and neither were the other 13 messages you posted. They made me smile though - some people will do anything to get on this website, Barrack Obama is always sending in messages so is Gordon Brown wanting to be on the Guestbook but I have told them "Haven't you got other things to do?" They weren't the 11111 visitor either!

In the holidays my antie had a baby it was a boy his name was cory he is very cute!!!
and
me and my sister Rachel had a dog she is 4 months old but we only had her for nearly 2 weeks her name is Gemma
HOPE YOU ALL HAD A WONDERFUL WEEK OF SCHOOL!!!

Lots of good news there Rachel and Amy, pass our congratulations on to your aunty from everyone at Birchgrove Primary School and give Cory a cuddle from us too. Miss Jeffreys

11111!! Thats Me! Enjoying Birchgrove Comp, SO MUCH TO DO THERE! Trying To Stay Out Of Detention, So Far, Not Too Bad, Hope The Primary Is All Good

Hello Caitlin! I hope you will enjoy your stay in Swansea! Maybe we will bump into one another! I hope everyone is enjoying Half Term. It does go very very quickly!

I have just logged on to put your message on the guestbook Mrs D'Auria and have noticed the visitor counter is now on 11100, now I like looking for patterns in numbers and I am just wondering who will be our 11111 visitor? Let me know who makes the counter hit this magic number. Miss Jeffreys

I cant bilelive that bradly's mother is having a babby

Yes it is exciting isn't it Cameron. Is there any news yet? Please let us know if she/he has been born yet. Miss Jeffreys

Hello everyone from Birchgrove Primary, I don't go to this school anymore but I miss you all especially Abigail, Emily, Danielle and Ethan who are in Yr1 Mrs Harrisons class. I am coming back to Swansea in March for a weekend and can't wait! I'd also like to say hello to Mrs Adkins.
Love Caitlin x


Hello Caitlin how nice to hear from you! It is always great to hear from past pupils (especially when they say how much you miss us). Enjoy your visit to Swansea next month. Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone. Hope you have all recovered from the snow and are now settling back into school.Missy and I had lots of fun building a SNOWDOG she thought it was a new friend to play with and set about knocking it down bit by bit.She was really funny trying to walk through the snow and she even disappeared e few times in some deep snow drifts. She doesn't like her new coat Gabriella so I have given up trying to put it on her.I hope your pets are better behaved.I have driven passed the school a few times and have been amazed to see how you have all grown and how well you all play together.Your school web site is really amazing and I love to read all your messages to each other.Poor Miss Jeffreys must have sore fingers replying to them all.Well take care and look after each other.Love from Mrs Joseph.

Well what a funny dog Missy is, she should wear her coat when she goes outside as she will have a cold back and tummy otherwise. How clever of you both to build a snow dog - I would never have thought of that. Take care and beep loudly next time you go past the school. Miss Jeffreys

Happy Valentines Day to all my friends and Mrs Adkins.
I had two cards today.

Lucky you Kacie - do you know who sent them or is it still a mystery? Miss Jeffreys

Hello Miss Jeffreys did you know I had 1 dog . I am counting in welsh un diy tri pwty pump cwath sath oth now dig undigun undigdiy undigtri undigpwty undigpump undigcwath undigsath undigoth undignow diyun diydiy diytri. Hope you have a lovely week off school and all the teachers, see you soon.

Well da iawn Taylor - good girl for practising your welsh. I didn't know that you had a dog, what is its name? What colour is it? Have a good holiday and I will see you after the holidays. Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone. We had a lovely little cat in my class today. The cat seems to have lost its way home. If you know of someone who is looking for their cat, can you ask them to contact the school please. We would like to reunite it with its owner as it is obviously a well loved cat. We are keeping it safe though in case anyone is looking for it. Spread the word. Miss Knight x
Ps If the cat's owner sees this in half term, just leave a guestbook entry with your contact details and we'll be in touch.

Good to see so much fun you all had in the snow. But I hope we have seen the last of it now. I came to school with my wellies and a spade on Friday because I had lots of snow where I live and thought it would be snowy at school too. And I had snow on Saturday too? Did you have snow in Birchgrove?
Thank you Miss Jeffreys for putting the policies on the website and parents please let us know what else would be useful. See you all in school tomorrow. Mrs Treen

We have added 2 new pages on our school website, the new pages are aimed at sharing policies/documentation with parents and forms needed for breakfast club, after school club, holidays etc. To look at these pages go to the ABOUT US page and click on the links on the top right hand side (also look at the NEWS page for more info). Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone,
I can't believe how quickly this term is flying by. Thank you year 6 for making our role play area look so wonderful this term.

Its good to get out and about in the snow isn't it Jack, we need to make the most of it when we can. Miss Jeffreys

You have a spelling mistake on the home page :

There is a Forest school area within the grounds which is used extensivley for learning by children acrsos the school.

You must try harder, and please see me after school !

Well Julien who ever said that teachers are perfect, I am quite happy to put my hands up and say "Sorry", thankfully typing errors can be rectified. Go and check out the rewrite and thank you for drawing it to my attention (but I have spotted something not quite right in your message too!). Miss Jeffreys

I everyone did you all see the snow on thursday when i look out of the window all the cars were covered in snow see you

Keep up the good work Miss. Jeffreys! Our school website is fab!!!!!

An igloo! Wow some people are very clever, I wonder how they built that. Miss Jeffreys

Good investigation skills Chloe, I'm so glad that you are using the website to find out what is going on in our school. Miss Jeffreys

the snow today was great me and my brother played it in all day have fun in the snow everyone!!

I think lots of other children had the same idea as you Cleo. Miss Jeffreys

Well what a strange day it has been - snow as far as the eye can see. How many of you built a snowman today then? I know lots of you have been visiting the website because since 7.45am the visitor counter has gone up by 111! Keep racking up the numbers ok, I'm so glad that you are finding the website useful and I am betting that most of the parents have been looking for more information on the school closure - now don't worry we will keep updating the site with any new information we have. See you in school tomorrow (hopefully). Miss Jeffreys

I am sorry we had to close the school today, but the snow was very bad and lots of teachers couldnt get to school this morning. Keep listening to the Wave and Swansea Sound tommorrow to hear what will happen on Wednesday.

Dear Mrs George,
I have missed you this week in class. Next week I hope you're in class to teach us. I enjoyed learning about bar charts today. I like English more than any of the other workbooks which are Maths, Science and Welsh.
I really enjoyed looking at all the emails posted on this guestbook.

Hi Allie. Miss Jeffreys

Hello Miss Jeffreys, Sorry I've not been in touch over Christmas, we've all been busy playing with our new toys and having parties. Caitlin got a dolls house, I got lots of Star Wars toys and a dressing up Anakin suit and Seren got lots of new noisy toys. She would however prefer to try and play with my DS. We also celebrated Seren's 1st Birthday with a huge party and Caitlin and I went to bed extremely late. I can't wait to see you at school on Wednesday. Caitlin says hello to Mrs Powan. xxxx

Hello Jamie how are you? I am so glad you had a lovely Christmas - I can't wait for a dressing up day so you can come into school in your Anakin suit. See you on Wednesday. Miss Jeffreys

i cant wait till we go back to school and see all my friends,and get out of my house.

helo everyone i hope you all had a very merry christmas and a happy new year

The same to you George. Miss Jeffreys

Hi Miss.Richards HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! hope you had a good Christmas see you in school from Rhys...

Happy New Year to all at Birchgrove primary school.

To answer Miss Jeffreys's e-mail (a long time ago!), Ben, Michael, Milly and Alys are all nephews and nieces of mine at the school.

Keep up the good work in the New Year!

Could you tell me what will be happening to the reception building in the future as I have heard it may not be used in the future? Thanks.

Hello Matt, Ben's mum had mentioned the link between you Ben and Michael on parent's evening a little while ago, its great to see that family members are using the website too. Building work is to start this term in the junior end of the school to build 2 new classrooms to re-place the demountables and in the summer holidays work will begin to extend the current Y1/2 unit. I am not sure what is going to happen to the top school but as soon as we are made aware I am sure Mrs Treen will let the parents know by newsletter and then of course I shall put it on the website too. Happy New Year Miss Jeffreys

BRRR its so cold. We have just been down to the winter wonderland and I managed to skate without falling over...wahey!
Hope everybody has had a fab holiday, see you all next wednesday x

Well done Mrs Gibbens for braving the cold and for not falling over on the ice. See you soon Miss Jeffreys.

Happy New Year to everybody at Birchgrove School, see you when we get back! x

Merry Christmas to everyone at Birchgrove. Have a fantastic day! Miss Knight x

A big Christmas hello to all of the staff, pupils and parents - I am very excited about Christmas tomorrow and have been tracking Santa's progress as he delivers presents to all of the good boys and girls in the world. So far he has been to Australia, New Zealand, Korea and Singapore. I think all of the children in Birchgrove should start thinking about going to bed soon as Santa is heading our way! I hope all of you are pleased with the presents you receive and that you remember to say thank you for all of the gifts you will be given. So HAPPY CHRISTMAS to you all and I am going to see where Santa is now - yippee he is getting closer!. Miss Jeffreys

I really enjoyed the concerts, you all worked so hard. You were fantastic! I hope Santa is kind to you all! You have been so good! Happy Christmas, stay safe and enjoy!!!

Well what can I say? They were amazing, spectacular, wonderful - the concerts made me a very proud teacher (and governor). You all performed beautifully and sang your hearts out. The narrators and solo singers were very brave as it takes alot to stand up on your own in front of that many people. Can't wait until next years concert - how will they beat this years I don't know. Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone. I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed all your Christmas concerts. You have all been fantastic. Real stars and so well behaved. I bet your mums and dads are SO proud of you. Have a fantastic Christmas and don't forget to leave us messages to let us know what Father Christmas brings you! Miss Knight x

Hi everyone, I have just come back from the Junior concert and I couldnt believe how fantastic all the children were. All the children sang beautifully and it's made me and Jamie/Caitlin's grandma feel so Christmasy. Well done to everyone you were all amazing!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas and a happy new year !!!!!!!!!!
Nadolig Llawen i chi gyd!!!!

Well I had a lovely time in Cardiff last Monday when we went to see the Wizard of Oz - you were so well behaved so thank you for inviting me. Hope you are feeling better Miss Knight after your little tumble in the Ice-rink. Missy really enjoyed her lollipop Gabriella and she says woof woof to you. Sounds as if Bouncer is a really loveable bunny and I expect you have lots of fun together. As soon as have a photo of Missy in her new coat I will bring one over for you. It was great to see the Y6 class and I was amazed to see how grown up you are and how tall you have become. WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING THEM ON MRS TREEN !
You were a very good boy David Morales that is why I remember you.
Well everyone I hope you all have a wonderful christmas and I hope to see you soon. A great big thank you to Miss Jeffreys,Mrs Adkins and Mrs D'Auria for inviting me on your trip to Cardiff. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE. LOVE FROM MRS JOSEPH.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

We enjoyed having you on the trip Mrs Joseph, it was just like old times. The children were extremely well behaved I was SO proud of all of them and what a coincidence it was to have Birchgrove Comprehensive sitting right next to us at the ice rink - to think we travelled all the way to Cardiff to see them when we could have just walked up the road instead. I did enjoy the show and was so glad I wore my ruby red shoes - I felt just like Dorothy.Miss Jeffreys

Oh Ben! What lovely things you have said on the website about our school! Your messages have really made me smile tonight. I always tell my children that if they follow the Golden Rules they will be like little rays of sunshine. I am very glad to hear that they have stayed with you. Have a lovely weekend in Mid Wales. Oh and Ben, don't worry, I know how you feel about leaving primary school. I loved being at Rhos Primary School and on my last day there I cried from 9am till 3pm!
Miss Knight

Bye!

I look forward to seeing you Katie. Miss Jeffreys

Hi to all the staff and to pupils.

Hello miss jefferys i am writing to see how all of you are feeling.Could you be able to ask miss noble to send a message to me because i really really miss her and it would be a pleasure to hear from miss noble again.

By the way i am going away to mid wales this friday and i would just like to say.

I am really thankful for all the staff that have taught me because the school has taught me since the golden rules how to behave in comp and how to have trust in your friends and i will never forget what the school has done for me.

Speak to you soon Ben

How lovely to hear from you again Ben, I thought that your comment about the Golden Rules wasvery interesting because I have been thinking about how well they work in our school and in life too - its amazing how 7 short rules can be applied to every situation isn't it. I shall pass your message onto Miss Noble Ben. Take care on your holidays and enjoy yourself. Miss Jeffreys

Hello Mrs Joseph

You must have a good memory to remember me from infants, either that or I was a terrible child and so stand out in your mind hahaha. NZ is a wonderful place and I love it here, Am hoping to visit my family back home next year, will be interesting to see what has changed.

Hi Miss Jeffreys

I was actually looking up my old schools on google and this website popped up, I think its great, the only thing that could make it better would be a photo gallery, perhaps showing how the school has changed over the years. Keep up the good work and take care

Hello David, a photo gallery would be a lovely idea, unfortunately we only have a allowance of 150 for the whole website and when you take into account all of the photos we have for staff and governors - which we decided as a school was a priority - then we have given 5 pictures to each class (there are 14 classes in the school now) - so unfortunately we don't have any spare for a photo gallery. As for Mrs Joseph, she has a wonderful memory - the number of people who come up to her when she is out and about and she remembers them ALL - it never ceases to amaze me. Miss Jeffreys

Hello to Carys and Ritchie Beynon and Mum and Dad. You are getting old Conrad because I taught you over 30 years ago so I know just how old you are !!!! But it's a lovely idea to tell everyone that you are getting younger. Missy is going to have a new coat for christmas Gabriella and I will send you a picture of her wearing it. I hope Bouncer is being very good and is eating plenty of carrots. Give my love to Adam ,Mum and Dad and I do hope I will be able to come and see you all in the next few weeks. Hello to David Morales - hope you are having a great life in N.Z. I remember you when you were in the Infants School. Doesn,t time pass quickly. I often wonder where all the years have gone.Miss Jeffreys I am still trying to remember that song and you wouldn't believe the repetoire of songs I have gone through in order to remember it. But alas at this moment in time I have not succeeded. But I wont let it beat me !!!!! Well everyone I hope you continue to be happy at school ,look after each other and keep smiling. love to you all XX .Mrs Joseph.

I'm glad you are still on the case Mrs Joseph - I feel confident that if anyone can get the song you can!
Perhaps it would be a good idea to open the challenge to the parents and children. We are trying (desperately) to remember a song that we sang in the old Infant School during a nativity - probably about 5-6 years ago.The Inn keeper sang the song and it was very catchy and funny, at the end he said "ROUND THE BACK" to Mary and Joseph and I want to put it in this years nativity as it will fit beautifully BUT nobody believes me that we did have a song with that in it. SO I AM ASKING EVERYONE TO THINK LONG AND HARD. WERE YOU THE INNKEEPER? OR WAS YOUR CHILD THE INNKEEPER THAT SANG THAT SONG? DO YOU REMEMBER THE SONG? IF SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY AS THATS ALL I KEEP SINGING TO MYSELF - "ROUND THE BACK" OVER AND OVER AGAIN - HELP! Miss Jeffreys

i luv school so much and i wish tere wornt weekends or holidays see u monday mrs harrison.

Oh that is nice to hear Dominic it makes me think that all of your time in school must be so enjoyable you don't want to leave us. All of the staff will be pleased to hear that you like school so much. However we might have some problems if we didn't have holidays and weekends, how would you get to do exciting things with your family? When would we all have time to go on holiday? What about Christmas? you wouldn't have time to play with your presents. Miss Jeffreys

Hi Everyone

I used to be a student here a long time ago, before I moved to NZ, its great to see my old school on the internet, would like to say hi to Mr Pudner who used to be my rugby coach, hope you are well sir


Hi David, Its always nice to hear from past pupils, how did you find our website? Were you just browsing and happened upon us by chance? Unfortunately Mr Pudner retired from our school in August of this year - he is missed by all (pupils and staff) but did come back to school for the Halloween disco - to the children's delight - and who knows we may seen him again at Christmas. I know Mr Pudner does visit the website often so he will probably see your message too. Miss Jeffreys

Hello Everybody. Your web site is great.

Can I let everyone know about a new website that has been created by the Birchgrove Community Association. Please take a look at

www.birchgrove.btik.com

Thanks

Hello everyone, sorry I forgot about the website, my bad!!!!!!!!!

I wasn't very well today. Or yesterday. I hope I'm better tomorrow. But at least I have a tidy bedroom to sleep in. Sorry I can't be in school with everybody else. But I've got a very bad cold and cough and somebody might catch it. I'm not sure what to write. Well, hello to all my friends. See you all soon.

Hope you feel better soon Amber and you are very sensible staying off school until you are well - coughs and sneezes are no fun especially in the run upto Christmas. Miss Jeffreys

It's my birthday next Friday! I can't WAIT!Today I've been to this Fata and bought this really cute dog I couldn't resist!And guess what else!A Santa's Grotto!You tell santa what you want for Christmas and have your photo taken and then get a present . oh!I've just remembered something!I got this very pretty china doll for 50p and I called her Esmerelda.Anyway Santa said"leave cucumber instead of carrots,and sherryfor him. I don't think santa should have wine- I say hot choclate instead,don't you think?I love it at my Granny's house and i have this lovely FurReal leopard.

Hooray, thank you Amber for starting the Christmas discussion! I LOVE Christmas time and get very excited about buying presents, seeing the lights and decorating the house and class but I'm in the minority in school unfortunately amongst the staff.
"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way" altogether now... Miss Jeffreys
P.S Happy Birthday for next Friday

Hello to all the Y6 children who have been to Borfa this week. How are you all feeling? Still tired? Still excited? I can't wait to hear all about your adventures. Send them in to the website for everyone to hear about please. Miss Jeffreys

hi mr pudner we raised £433 for children in need

That is amazing! Well done to everyone who brought money in. I was a little jealous that you all got to wear your pyjamas into school on Friday and I couldn't as I was on a course in London with Mrs Adkins and Miss Knight (I think people would have thought we were all a bit mad if we had gone to the conference in our pyjamas). Hope you all had a good day and you can feel proud that you have helped others whilst having fun. Miss Jeffreys
P.S Thank you to all the children who bought the Pudsey Chomp bars too.

i loved the school disco. i love my new school teacher.

That is good to hear Kelsey. Miss Jeffreys

mrs. Joseph. you can't be getting old as my dad says he's getting younger. love Cerys&Ritchie Beynon

Oh that has made me laugh - I think I will have to start using that line too! Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone its me just want to say y5er is osum bye

OH MRS JOSEPH you really should have come to our disco it was such fun you would have loved it . i bet missy was really really scared on bonfire night poor thing bouncer was to i put the tv on really loud so he l would not heer the noise missy must br clever to wwin all those shows i saw some nice dog coats you can get her one for chrismas i love dogs all animals to i could be a vet . we all send you our love xxXXxx

I think Missy would look beautiful in a pink dog coat Gabriella, can you buy rabbit coats too? Mmm but then Bouncer already has a lovely warm coat of his own doesn't he, I think you would be a wonderful vet as you are so caring. Miss Jeffreys

hello again nice to be on the website. hello to all the staff i am missing miss noble and mrs palmer see you soon darren.

Hi Darren, how are you? Miss Jeffreys

So glad that you all had a fab time in the halloween Disco I was going to pop over to see you all but then I remembered you would be wearing scary costumes and now that I am getting old I thought I would be really SCARED.I hope you all stayed safe on Bonfire Night,Missy and I watched the fireworks through the window because animals can become very upset with all the noise and sparks.But we did enjoy them ! Sorry to hear that you have been ill Allie and I hope you are feeling much better.Hello to Gabriella Gow and family .Well must finish now as I have to feed the dog.Love to you all and see you soon.Mrs Josephxxxxx

You old?? Mrs Joseph you must be joking - you are only as old as you feel - so you must be mid 40s, what do you think? Glad you and Missy saw the fireworks from the safety of your house. Take care Miss Jeffreys

Keep visiting the website boys and sending in your messages. Miss Jeffreys

Well it is lovely to be back in school so I have spent a few minutes reading all the comments- such a lovely part of the website, it is great to hear from our 'old pupils' and 'old staff'!!
But I think the best part of the school is all of you, so thank you to all our pupils for making this the best school.

hello to everyone at the school missing you all and i am enjoing comp. write to you soon darren.

Good to hear that you are enjoying the comp Darren - but its still nice to hear that you miss us too! Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone I`ve just beenlooking at the guestbook and noticed that Mrs Roberts hasn`t left one single message NO THAT`S RIGHT NOT ONE!!!!! But don`t tell her!!!Sssshhhhh!!!!

Well its out in the open now Hywel and YOU TOLD EVERYONE! Maybe Mrs Roberts has written in but under a different name to disguise herself. I know Mrs Roberts uses the site a lot as she lets the children in her class go on to the website and leave messages just before they leave the ICT suite.
Miss Jeffreys

Hi Year 6N. I had such a lovely time in buddies today. I love our chats and you are WONDERFUL with my children. They so look forward to buddies. I think your idea about shared Golden Time with buddies was excellent. I'd also love a buddy week where we can spend more time doing lots of different things. Are you all excited about BORFA? Not long to go now till you're off on your travels. Have a fantastic week, be good and make sure you let Miss Noble, Mrs Palmer and Mrs Williams get SOME sleep! Miss Knight x

Hi Ben, Alex, Darren and Wayne! It is so lovely having messages from children in the comp. So sorry for not waving Ben! I think I obviously need to get up earlier and wake up a bit before coming to work! Mornings are not my best time of day! I'll look out for you now! Look after yourselves boys and keep in touch. Miss Knight

Hi again, I am so bored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok here are some suggestions to stop you from being bored -
read a book
listen to a CD
watch a DVD
phone a friend
do your homework
tidy your bedroom
have a sort out of all your clothes
make your mum/gran/anyone a cup of tea
offer to do the dishes
hoover the front room
bake a cake
paint a picture
knit a scarf
Ummm I think that's all for now - the last 3 are a bit odd but you never know they may appeal to someone.
See you tomorrow Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone, I feel great that I am back in school with all my friends and all the teachers. My tonsilitus has gone completly. I still lose my voice when I sing sometimes.

I love this website, it is so cool.

Glad you are feeling better Allie - so you won't be trying out for The X Factor anytime soon then with your throat as it is? Miss Jeffreys

I am just waiting for my mum to come home, see you in school tomorrow!!!!

I hope Cameron had a happy halloween birthday! Have a lovely bonfire night tomorrow. Take care and say hello to everyone in the comp for me. Miss Knight

Hello!

I love being in year 4P and I love being a school councilor.
They both make you really responsible.

It feels like we've been in school for a whole year!!!
How can it be only two months?!

I hope that everyone is enjoying their new year too.

from Caitlin.

Miss Knight: I know the feeling Caitlin. It feels much longer than 8 weeks with our new class. Everyone has settled so well into their new classes it feels like we have been there forever!

Hi there!
help! I'm trying to write and my little brother is pressing the keyboard and trying to push me away. 'Move Amber' says Joel. Hooray!Freedom at last! I love school. Every second of it. See you all tomorrow

Miss Knight: Well it was worth the wait for that lovely comment Amber!

I am glad to say that I will be in school tomorrow as normal. I am so glad I'll be coming to school, because I really enjoy doing work, and I bet that all the other childrren hate school, bet I love school.

I am really missing my friends and all the teachers.

See you all soon!!!!

Miss Knight: We'll be glad to have you back Allie! It is lovely to hear that you love school so much.

I really enjoyed the disco. I havn't been very weel this week, I have Tonsilitus. I didn't come to school today and I'm not going to school tomorrow aswell. I'm missing all my friends, and I'm stuck with my grandmother and grandfather!!!!!!

Watch out everyone you might catch Tonsilitus be careful!!!!!!!!!

Bye everyone and bye Mrs Joeseph

Hi Allie I'm sorry to hear that you are unwell and I'm sure that you are enjoying being with your grandparents really. Take care and I look forward to seeing you in school soon. Miss Jeffreys

Hi Ben, I'm very well at the moment thanks and although I haven't checked with all of the other teachers I'm sure they are well too. I do know that I am looking forward to going back to school tomorrow to see my boys and girls - I miss them during the holidays. What are you doing for Bonfire night, are you going to an organised display or are you having some fireworks in your garden? Speak to you soon Miss Jeffreys

which has flown by
by by

Gosh this weekend has been VERY busy on the guestbook - lots of people are writing in, not that I am complaining I enjoy reading all of the messages. I am in the process of updating my class website with new photos and news as well as the school site.
So far the half term has been very good Rachel, I have been to Legoland and Chessington World of Adventure and it snowed whilst we were there! And I know you have been to a party this week too haven't you - did you have fun? I will see you on Monday Miss Jeffreys

Hi Miss Jeffreys and everyone..hope you have all had a fab halfterm, it has flown by. We had lots of trick and treaters come to my house but the scariest one was Thomas Priestly from y3, he really made me jump with his costume :-0 I think it would be a fab idea to do the website competition, perhaps we should do it after christmas because it is going to be very busy in the next few weeks and its something to look forward to in the new year...just an idea.
Hope everybody has a safe weekend and see you all on Monday

I have had a few enquiries in school about the next website competition - mainly from Sam Davies! So if you want the competitions to carry on let Mrs Gibbens or myself know.We can be prompted to bring it back if enough people want it! Miss Jeffreys

Hi miss jefferys its me ben uh sorry i haven't writen to you for a long time but i lost the web address just writing to ask if you are having a nice halloween and have a nice bonfire night as well.

Hello Cameron Jones. Thank you for the delicious cake that you brought in today. Mrs Morris gave it to me today saying there was a slice of cake for me. I thought MY birthday had come when I saw a whole chocolate fudge cake! Lucky you told me playtime it was for the staffroom before I ate it all myself (because you know how much I love chocolate cake!). All the teachers say thank you and Miss Jeffreys and me really enjoyed our slice at last playtime. Have a lovely birthday next week and a lovely holiday. Thank you again for being so kind and thinking of us. Miss Knight x

Cameron I whole heartedly agree with Miss Knight's comment - the cake was delicious - yum yum yum. I had to stay for a meeting tonight in school and the piece of cake I had at afternoon play put a big smile on my face. Thank you very much Miss Jeffreys

I cant wait to see Mr pudner tomorow at the halloween disco!Imiss him an awlful lot

Hello everyone!
Doesn't time fly when you're having so much fun. Can't believe we have been in school for 7 weeks already and its nearly half term!!!
Great messages so far, I wonder if Mr. Pudner will be dressed up for the disco?
Fab website Miss. Jeffreys! You have worked so hard on this and it's really nice to see how many people enjoy leaving messages. Well done!
See you all tomorrow, Mrs. Adkins

Thank you Mrs Adkins that message makes the work worth while. I do enjoy reading the messages and changing things around on the website. Miss Jeffreys

Hello Allie in Year 6, I really cant believe you still remember me after all these years and that you are in Year 6. It seems only a short while ago that you started in Reception Class with Mrs D'Auria and me, and how you loved to answer the telephone when I was busy teaching. Say hello to all the other children in class because I remember you all so well. I hope you have a BEWITCHING time in your Halloween Disco and make sure that Mr Pudner does not exhaust himself with too much dancing !!! I hope to come in and visit you all sometime soon , so until then stay safe and happy. Love Mrs Joseph.X


It's lovely to see that the children have fond memories of the teachers who have been in our school and vice versa - I remember Allie answering the phone too - she spoken with beautiful manners and would relay the message with accuracy. Who else has memories of any of the retired teachers they would like to share? Miss Jeffreys

Hello,
I am a past pupil and teacher (supply) of Birchgrove. I last worked at the school in the last year of Mr Carlile's headship and a few months into Mrs Treen's. I now have two nephews and a niece at the school! It is great to see that the children are involved in the website and that there is so much going on.

It is also sad to see that Mr Pudner has gone as he was such a good role model for the boys in the school. Definitely my favourite teacher when I was there but he has earned his retirement!

Carry on the good work!

Best,
Matt Smith.

How nice to hear from you Matt, Who are your niece and nephews? What class are they in? We do like to get to know all about our extended school family. You are not the first person to say that Mr Pudner was an excellent teacher and a wonderful role model - a few months ago I was talking to someone showing us around Swansea Airport on a school trip and they said "Everyone should have a teacher like Mr Pudner" I think that says alot about the high regard he is held in. I better stop now as the other teachers and I will get jealous!!! Miss Jeffreys

oh no i can't go to the halloween disco because ive got yoUth group!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh what a shame William but I'm sure you will have lots of fun at Youth Group anyway. Miss Jeffreys

THIS IS THE BEST SCHOOL WEBSITE EVER IM IN Y1 YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Dominic, I said that I would reply to you didn't I. Are you loking forward to school tomorrow? I will make sure that I pop in to see you in breakfast club in the morning ok. See you Miss Jeffreys

Hi Mr Pudner,I`m really looking forward to the Hallowen disco on Thursday!!! I`m on the school coucil as well and I can`t WAIT until you come to see us!!! Bye!!!

Mr Pudner may be gone from our school but he is definately not forgotten. Miss Jeffreys

It is a real pleasure to read the guestbook comments and to see the whole school website.I hope everyone is well and enjoying the term!
best wishes
Mr Pudner

Mr Pudner you will be pleased to know that lots of children ask after you in school and they can't wait to see you at the Halloween disco - you will be the main attraction that night! Miss Jeffreys

Mrs Gibbens is keeping me in touch with all that is happening at school and I really like to know how things are with you .

Of course I miss being part of the daily life of school but I hope to see lots of you at the Halloween Disco.
Best wishes
Mr Pudner

Hello everyone.Hope you are keeping well.Thank you Gabriella for you birthday message.I hope Bouncer is being a good rabbit and not eating all the furniture.Missy sits next to me when I am using my laptop and she barks very loudly when I tell her that I am sending a message to my friends in Birchgrove.I am sure she really understands what I am saying.She has won a lot of Dog Shows lately and has now got lots and lots of prizes.I still miss you all very much and sometimes it feels as if I am just having a long holiday but I am very busy every day doing lots of different things.Well I will say good-bye for now and send lots of love to you all.XXX Mrs Joseph

Congratulations to you Missy on winning all of those shows - you clever dog. When you said that you keep yourself busy Mrs Joseph I know for a fact that you aren't joking but I do hope you have time to relax as well, maybe going out for a meal with friends would be a pleasant way to spend the evening? Remember all work and no play makes you very tired! Hope to hear from you again soon Miss Jeffreys.

hi mrs gibbons nice comment i looked at it and read it is good is he having fun on his bike???? lots of love georgiaxxx

I'm sure that Mr Pudner is having a great time on his new bike - keep an eye out for a flash of light on the roads - that will be Mr Pudner racing past you! Miss Jeffreys

im so happy im a school cowncile thank u miss jhon for runing it

Congratulations to you all on becoming a school councillor. Now you have to make sure you use your power wisely! Miss Jeffreys

hi cool sight all my mates have comented they think its great p.s tell miss richerds shes a great techer.

Thanks Scott we all try very hard to keep our webpages up to date and fresh. Miss Jeffreys

Hi Lewis. I really enjoyed the anthology night too! I'll let you in to a secret! My tummy was tickling with nerves too!! You were all fantastic and I was SO proud of you. If you go on to the 'news' section of the Literacy website, there is a photo of you there. Don't forget to tell everyone that your fantastic art work is on display in the Dylan Thomas Centre until October 11th. See you tomorrow. Miss Knight x

I have just been reading the guestbook and thought I would tell you that I know Mr Pudner also misses us at school because he tells me in his e-mails. He has been having lots of fun on his bike and has been spending alot of time at the swansea library because he loves the views!! I'm not sure whether he cycles to the library though, I don't think he is that brave,or fit, just yet!

Mr Pudner are you out there?? If so drop us a line on the guestbook so we can catch up with all the exciting things you have been getting up to. We can't wait to hear from you. Miss Jeffreys

Hello Miss Knight, I loved the anthology night even though it made my tummy tickle with nerves. Mammy says she was so proud of us all we done such a good job. Thankyou Miss Knight you really are a great teacher love Lewis xxxx

Hi Khloe,
Lovely to hear that you are enjoying life in the comp. It is a shame that there is no Golden Time there though! We miss you all in Birchgrove. I can't believe that you are in comp! I remember you in Reception in Gorseinon Infants when I taught there! Time flies when you are teaching such lovely children!

hi all the teachers that taught me im loving comp its good but the only thing i miss in primary is GOLDEN TIME lol. Anyway mrs barrow you have changed since i last saw you nice haircut and mrs jefferies like your replies and mrs knight thanks for all the teachers who taught me xx khloe

Thanks Khloe, I enjoy reading all of the messages and adding my little pieces to them. Maybe you should suggest to Mr Francis that he introduce Golden Time to the comp, what do you think?? Miss Jeffreys

A BIG thank you to the children and parents who came to the Fairytale Anthology launch tonight. I was SO proud of the children retelling their story! You were definitely the best there! Well done! I am so proud that I have text all my family and friends to say how fantastic you were. See you tomorrow. I am really tired so you must all be too. I'll ask your teachers to be gentle with you tomorrow! Miss Knight X

hi Mrs Richards i like it in your class its good and your a great teacher. Oh and Mrs Barrow i miss you too!!!!!from Lauren

i really miss sur he was a lovely man a he was a good person i hope he will come and visit us lots of love georgia jonesxxx. .

It is odd without Mr Pudner isn't it, he did pop in during the holidays to see if he could help move things when he heard that the demountable roof had fallen into the class. That sums Mr Pudner up though - always willing to lend a hand. Miss Jeffreys

hi everyone i love being in mrs roberts class she is a lovely teacher hi all the teachers love georgiaxxx

Hello to you too Georgia. Miss Jeffreys

to miss Jeffery bouncer is not allowed upstairs but he sometimes sneaks up, we have to block the stairs.He hates going outside, bye for now love gabriella gow.

Bouncer sounds like a little tinker - I bet I would love him! Miss Jeffreys

Hiya everyone, Just wanted to say Hi to all the teachers(including the new ones)I miss Primary But its good in the comp.I can't wait untill my Bros have perants evening I will come too, To see all the teachers bye Katie xxx

I'm glad that you are enjoying the comprehensive Katie, it does seem odd to see all of the comp children walking past the school at home time and recognising so many faces and all of you looking so grown up. Miss Jeffreys

mrs joseph glad you had a lovely birthday i am of school today a was sick all last night but much better now .i like reading about missy and what shee gets up to i have a rabbit called bouncer he is a house rabbit we have to bunny proof the house as he chews anything he is so cute bye for now XXXX

I hope you feel better soon Gabriella, a lot of the children are feeling ill at the moment and are off school - not a good way to start the year. Does Bouncer get to go everywhere in the house? Can he go up and down the stairs? Miss Jeffreys

Hello Again everyone.

We are still having a fab time in Fuerteventura. We will be flying home on Wednesday and hope to be back in school on Thursday. We have been to the beach and swimming in the Atlantic Ocean. Jamie and I also went on a mini Bungy Jump (this was so exciting), we went really high and Jamie thought he was actually flying like a super hero. Got lots of pictures to show everyone. See you all on Thursday. Love Caitlin and Jamie. xx

Hello everyone,it's me again.Lovely to hear that you have all settled so well into your new classes.I have been told that the Y3 classes have had to move into the hall but I expect Ms Lloyd and Mrs George have made it very homely,comfortable and a very special place for learning.I know you all will be happy there.I had a super birthday today so thank you to all the teachers who remembered and sent me such lovely cards and gifts.You made my birthday very special.Hope Mrs Carsley enjoyed her birthday on the 16th of September and early birthday wishes to Mrs Jones for the 25th of September.Love to you all and a very loud WOOF WOOF from Missy the dog.xxxMrs Joseph.

I'm so glad you had a good birthday Mrs Joseph, it is a busy month for birthdays on the staff as Mrs Boland had her birthday earlier this week too. Miss Jeffreys

Hello Mrs Pawan and everyone in my class. I am having a lovely time in Fuerteventura. The weather is fantastic, my postcard might not make it before I come back. It was my birthday today and we went to a water park called Baku. There were many slides, but my favourites were the fast ones. We also saw seals and lots of strange tropical fish. I also went for a lovely meal and the waiters surprised me with a desert that had sparklers in it, turned off the lights in the whole place and played Happy Birthday very loudly. It was something I will never forget. See you all soon. Love Caitlin

Happy birthday Caitlin, what a lovely surprise for you - a cake with sparklers (I hope you have got some photographs to show us). Your postcard hasn't arrived yet but I'm sure it will get here soon. Miss Jeffreys

hi miss Knight it was ok to share the lovely cake and i am glad you enjoy my cae and miss treen enjoyed hers to and i want to say hello to miss noble and the rest of the class see you on monday.

There you go Sam, I told you that I would get your message on the website today. Nice to see you are using the site - now do me a favour tell all your friends to leave messages too. See you in the morning Miss Jeffreys.

Hello to you to Shaun, nice to hear from you. Miss Jeffreys

Caitlin! How lovely to hear you are settled and happy! You are such a lovely little girl that I was sure you would have lots of new friends! We do miss you! I was talking to Emily, Abigail and Danielle this afternoon as I was looking after Mrs Harrisons (Miss Jenkins) class. Hope you have a really good year in your new class, keep in touch and tell us all your news! x

Well then Caitlin - your old teachers miss you too, isn't that nice. Miss Jeffreys

Hello to everyone at Birchrove Primary, I would like to say a special hello to Abigail, Emily and Danielle who are in year 1. I'd also like to say hi to Mrs Adkins, Miss Pickin and Mrs D'auria who were my teachers before I moved.I am enjoying my new school and have made lots of new friends. I hope you are all enjoying your new classes. Miss you all.

Caitlin x

I am so glad that you are enjoying your new school Caitlin - I am sure that all of the children in your old class miss you too. Miss Jeffreys

Hi everyone.Hope you are all nicely settled into your new classes.The weather has been dreadful and I expect you were ready to go back to school.I always loved welcoming new pupils to my class because they always had such interesting things to tell me.Hello to Gabriella,Adam Mum and Dad.The dog is keeping me very busy with walks,swims in the river and lots of playful games.Her name is Missy and she is a very pretty dog and I think you would like her very much Gabriella.I must get used to calling Miss Rees by her married name.so hello MRS JOHN.Hello also to Kelly Joseph who recently wrote inthe guestbook I remember you very well and your brother Steven you were both such lovely children.Well keep writing your wonderful news children because Missy and I love reading them.She is a very clever dog !!!Goodbye for now and thank you Miss Jeffreys for replying so promptly.Love Mrs Joseph.

Hello Mrs Joseph, it is a very busy time of the year as you will remember all to well. You have probably heard about the adventure the Y3's have had during the holidays but .... they are safely in the upper hall now and enjoying every minute of it (so I am told by the children). I never knew Missy could read!! What a clever thing she is. I would like to send you early happy birthday wishes from all of the staff and pupils in the school - enjoy your day next week (17th). Miss Jeffreys

Hi Sam. Thank you very much for the delicious birthday cake. It was scrumptious! Don't worry- Mrs Treen's slice is still on her desk for her to have when she is back tomorrow! I didn't give in and eat it. I was very tempted though! Hope you had a lovely birthday. Miss Knight x

its me I love my
new teacher
Mrs roberts

That's good news Cameron. Miss Jeffreys

Hi, I am so gladthat I am in Mrs.Palmers class i am so pleased.Ihope that everyone is enjoying being in school because i certainly am, and is everyone pleased who their new teacher is?

Hopefully the answer to that question is YES. Miss Jeffreys

I'm going to die if I dont go back to school soon!
I don't know about you but I've been so school sick!!!


"School sick" is that a phrase you invented yourself Caitlin? Does it mean you are missing school or that you don't like it very much? Don't worry I know what you mean - you can't wait to get back and carry on learning. That comment fills me with pride as you obviously enjoy school so much you miss being there in the holidays. Not long to wait Caitlin - just 1 more day to go. Miss Jeffreys

hello mrs joseph nice to hear your news hope you are well the holidays have gone fast i will be in miss lloyd class i have missed school i bet your dog is keeping you busy with his walks mum dad and adam send their love bye for now

I was talking to Mrs Joseph recently and she said that she loves reading your messages to her Gabriella (and family) - what is your dogs name? See you in school on Wednesday Miss Jeffreys

congratulations on your union
thats what those 4 words mean.

YEAR 7! Yiikes! My Heart Will Be Going 4000 MPH On The First Day Of Comp
But I Will Miss Birchgrove Primary
I DONT WANT SUMMER TO END EVEN IF IT IS RAINING! I Wish I Lived In Jamaica!!!
Ryan J

Well done Ryan that is what that particular sentence means BUT what about the other 3 phrases which are written in blue?
I am sure you won't be the only person nervous about starting a new school and a new class - all you have to remember is that the comprehensive are going to think that you are an asset to their school.
Everyone in Birchgrove Primary wishes the new Y7 children GOOD LUCK - and let us know how things are going won't you. Miss Jeffreys

Hello Miss Jeffreys

I have been trying really hard to practise my reading and writing over the school holidays. Caitlin and I have borrowed lots of books from the library to help us. I cant wait to be back in school.
xx

Well hello Jamie it was a nice surprise to see your message. Caitlin is such a good girl helping you over the holidays and you are a wonderful little boy practising over the summer to improve your reading and writing. I think this year is going to be such a fun time for us in our class that I am really eager to get back to school too. See you soon Miss Jeffreys

I can't beleve it's nearly time to go back to school!
The summer hoilydays seem to have flown past!
And so that meens it's nearly time for my big hoilyday in Fuerteventura. Out of the rain at last!

Lucky you Caitlin (and family) - I am sure you will have a wonderful holiday - lots of sun, relaxing by the pool and playing on the beach - HEAVEN. Miss Jeffreys
P.S Don't forget to send us a postcard Jamie, all of the children in our class would love to hear what you are getting up to on holiday.

Hi Guys

kaytie lol

Hello Kaytie, I have got everything ready for the start of term - a new pencil case, new diary and lots of new files. All I need now are my new children and I will be all set! See you on Wednesday Miss Jeffreys

We cant believe it's raining AGAIN!! You can bet that next week the sun will shine when we are back in school. We have been looking at the wedding photos and everyone looked beautiful, especially Mrs Palmer ( I have to say that as she is my teacher this year!!) Hope everyone is having a fab holiday, we went to Turkey to get away from the rain but my uncle went to 3 cliffs and his tent blew away in the night!! See you all next week Love from us 2 x

Harry why didn't you bring the sunshine back with you? Do you have a tan? If so I am afraid that I will be quite jealous. Was your uncle in the tent when it blew away? I do hope not!! See you Tuesday Mrs Gibbons and I will see you on Wednesday Harry. Miss Jeffreys

I am a past pupil of Birchgrove Primary (Infants as it was then) and have very fond memories of the place. I heard that Mr Pudner had retired, what a wonderful teacher. Miss Hanley who is taking over as the year 1/2 teacher is a close friend of mine and I'd like to wish her all the success in her new job, I am sure she will be fantastic!x

Its great to hear fom past pupils - thanks for leaving a message. I will be team teaching with Miss Hanley and am sure the children and parents will quickly come to recognise what an asset to the school she is. I can't wait for Wednesday to see all of the children. Miss Jeffreys

Hello everyone .What a lot of events have taken place since I spoke to you last.I am sure you will all miss MRS BALLARD,MRS WILLIAMS and MR PUDNER now that they have retired.They were very special teachers and I am sure you all have wonderful memories of them. Congratulations to all the teachers who got married they looked so beautiful.Apologies to Miss Rees for not attending the wedding night but I hope to come and see her soon.Well I hope you all had a wonderful holiday even though the weather has been terrible but at least the ducks in Singleton Park enjoyed the rain,I know because I went to see them.I will say Bye Bye for now children and thank you for writing such lovely news because I love reading them.Take care and be happy .Love from MRS JOSEPH.XXX

I'm sure you have lots of fond memories of the 3 teachers that have just retired Mrs Joseph as you taught with them for so many years, but oh dear you are the 1st (but not the last person I'm sure) to call Mrs John by her maiden name!! I have been practising calling all of the newly married teachers by their new names each time I come on to the website to add things. I am sure that I will forget in school as I still call Mrs George by her old name and she has been married for 10 months. Say hello to the ducks for me when you see them next Miss Jeffreys

i have been having a good summer cant wait to go to the comp i know i am going to miss all of the teachers and friends

Corey we will all miss you too, I remember teaching you in Reception and now you are off to the comp - you have grown up so fast. Don't forget to pop in to see us and tell us what you are getting up to in your new class. Miss Jeffreys

Hi , lovely pictures of all the weddings.Hope they all missed all the rain
Mummy's Italian so she helped me with the words -

Mr & Mrs Palmer
On the day of your Wedding
Congratulations on your union
Bride and Bridegroom

Hope all my friends are having a nice holiday.
I saw a HUGE dead jelly fish on the Gower when we went to the beach.
See you soon

Excellent translations Gabriella, you got the phrases right (well done to mum). Miss Jeffreys

Lovely photo's of our new weds,they all looked gorgeous,Niall's eyes lit up when he saw Miss Jenkins,and said"will she wear that dress when we go back too School",Jack thinks the Italian says "congratulations to you both,i hope you have lots of luck. Good luck to all three.

Niall you never know Mrs Harrison may just wear her wedding dress for one of our dressing up days - she could be a princess. Jack you have part of one of the phrases right but not quite - "congratulations" is one of the words, but what are the rest? Miss Jeffreys

Hi, we all went to see Miss Rees get married and she looked really really pretty. We were all lined up beautifully outside the church just like she taught us to line up in the yard everyday. We enjoyed throwing our confetti and waving to her and her new husband as they drove off in their big car. Congratulations Mr & Mrs John (you'll always be Miss Rees to us!!) Lots of love xx

I was there too and I saw you all - you were a credit to your parents and the school. Miss Jeffreys

Hello everyone - are you having a great, if wet, holiday? So who has visited the NEWS page to look at the pictures of the 3 weddings (Mrs John, Mrs Palmer and Mrs Harrison), they all look wonderful and SO happy. Are any of you feeling brave enough to try and have a go at working out what the Italian phrases mean on 1 of the wedding news pages? Go on have a go. Miss Jeffreys

So far we've had a brilliant summer holiday.
We've been camping in West Wales by the sea.
We've been going to swimming lessons and both got badges, and we are looking forward to our big holiday in Fuerteventura next month.

Unfortunately today was a sad day...
Today our poor old cat Charlie got run over and died,which made us feel very sad. We are all really going to miss him.

I hope everyone is having a great summer holiday and we'll see you all back at school!

Hello Caitlin and Jamie, I'm so sorry to hear about Charlie, what a terrible thing to happen. Congratulations on getting your badges for swimming, its a shame we aren't in school as you could show them in Seren Yr Wythnos assembly. See you after the holidays Miss Jeffreys.

Hi Khalid, hope you are enjoying the holidays, the Year 2 concert was really good, I really liked the dancing too. Hi everyone in my class xx

the year 6 concert was BRILLIANT !!!!

Yes it was BUT the Y2 concert had a fabulous snail in it - what a wonderful actor he was, shame I can't remember his name, mmm what was it??? Oh yes it was Khalid! Enjoy the holidays Miss Jeffreys

Have a fantastic holiday whatever you do! Most of all stay safe! See you all in September!

what a lovely year 2 concert you were all fantastic. Cant believe you are all going to juniors already. Really enjoyed the show even though it brought a tear to my eye.

The concert was wonderful and I know that I am feeling a bit sad at the moment - I don't want my children to leave me but at the same time I am looking forward to getting to know my next class and seeing what adventures we will get up to! Miss Jeffreys
P.S I'm back on line everyone so can start putting LOTS more things on the school website and my class website at last - YIPPEE

Fantastic concert year 6,you'r singing was amazing.Elvis will never be remembered in the same way,i'll always think of Ryan.Congratulations to everyone involved an excellent production,"oh Jack was quite good too"

Jack was excellent and how did he manage to keep a straight face throughout his part I nearly cracked a rib laughing so much. Miss Jeffreys

I really enjoyed playing Levi in Joseph it was fun
I cant belive how fast our last year went!
Anyway gotta go
Bye
Katie

They do say that time goes quickly when you are having fun Katie so you must have been having a ball in the Y6's. Miss Jeffreys

Well done Year 6! What a fantastic concert! I really enjoyed seeing 'Joseph' tonight. You were all amazing. Well done for all your hard work. See you Friday. Miss Knight x


I thought it was an amazingly funny and well sung concert. Well done to you all - Amy the lipstick was wonderful where did you get it from?I must get some for myself!! Miss Jeffreys

Well done Year 2 for a fantastic concert! I really enjoyed the singing and dancing.
Well done everyone who took part in the sports Carousel! It was so much fun! Go white team! Go white team! Go white team! (only joking!) I think we may have discovered some footballers of the future!

Miss Knight: Come on the blues! ....and reds and yellows and greens and purples and oranges and whites! Well done everyone for today's sports carousel. I agree with you Mrs D'Auria about the footballers of the future! They were definitely giving the gaolies a run for their money! x

Aahh now I'm going to have to cheer really loudly for the YELLOWS who were the rays of sunshine for the day - Can I say that Marley and Thomas were brilliant on the football station and I'm not sure but I think they let the ball slip in the net a few (hundred) times so that the younger children could score some goals - thanks boys for doing it so secretly that they didn't notice. Miss Jeffreys

Hello to everyone in Year 2. I had a fantastic time at your concert tonight! You were all amazing. What beautiful minibeasts you all were! Well done. Miss Knight xxxxxxx

I couldn't agree more Miss Knight I was a very proud teacher ( I am always proud of my class) but the Y2 children performed amazingly well. What stars you all are. Miss Jeffreys

Hi all
It was great to come back to the Primary on Friday 5th July for the line dancing, it was awesome. I enjoyed meeting my old teachers and friends in other classes. My first year in the Comp has been good! I have met loads of new people and made friends with most of them. I am looking forward to the year 6`s coming up in September and seeing my old teachers again. Thanks for the welcome. See you all soon,
Lewis.

MISS KNIGHT
Hi Lewis,
It was lovely to see you all back on Friday. I had a quick look at you dancing from the door of my classroom. You all looked fantastic! Thank you for joining in with us to make the day so special. I couldn't believe how much you had all grown in a year! I am glad you are looking forward to seeing the year 6 children. I know lots of them are really looking forward to Year 7. I know you will all make them feel really welcome and help to show them the ropes. Say hello to everyone for me. Miss Knight

Well what a surprise to hear from Rebecca Bartle on the Birchgrove Website.We did invite the QUEEN to come to our party and we had a lovely letter from her apologising for not coming.I still have the letter and photograph of all the children holdind it .It is one of my most treasured possessions.Brilliant news about Simon I expect you all very proud of him,I know that I am.What a wonderful picture in the Evening Post of the schools' Line Dancing Marathon you must all be exhausted.Well done to you all I hope you raised lots of money to buy new equipment.I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE AT SCHOOL WHO SPONSORED ME IN 'THE RACE FOR LIFE' I raised a wonderful total of £140 which will go to help anyone who is very ill.I enjoyed the 5mile race but I was very tired afterwards, but it was worth it So thanks a million everyone you did me proud.Well children I have enjoyed telling you my news and I love to hear about your wonderful achievements.Mrs D,auria and Miss Jeffreys let me know all about the exciting things you do in school and I know that you are all very happy and learning new and wonderful things.See you soon and look after each other.xxxxx

Congratulations Simon on graduating a whole year early, your mum and dad must be so proud of you.

Lovely to hear from you Miss Jeffreys

The Nursery were excellent, I did join in for a few minutes too but I definately wasn't as good as the children - oh well I gave it a go. Can't wait until the actual day, I think we will have some very tired children by hometime that day. Miss Jeffreys

I have just spotted the new competition questions for June...they make you look all over the web site...good luck everybody.
