PUPILS and staff at Clyro Church in Wales Primary School have ensured that a little bit of themselves will be forever part of their new school building.
Each member of staff and all the pupils dipped their hands in coloured paint and put their hand prints on plasterboards provided for them by building contractors Willmott-Dixon.
The plasterboards will now be part of the walls of the new school building, preserving them for posterity.
The children also signed their names next to their handprints, what class they were in and wrote what they would like to be when they grow up. Head teacher Sarah Groves said: “Everyone at the school is extremely excited at the prospect of moving into their new school at the start of June and seeing its progress over the coming weeks.”
Clyro is one of five in the Gwernyfed catchment area who are moving to new schools. The other schools are the primary schools in Hay-on-Wye, Talgarth, Llyswen and Llangorse. Pupils have already moved into their new classrooms at Archdeacon Griffiths Church in Wales School in Llyswen.
