Holidays Are Coming<br />
At Howell’s<br />
Everything is covered with a festive sparkle at<br />
Howell’s Junior School. In Hazelwood, home to Year<br />
4-6, the singers are in fine voice, warming up for<br />
carol concerts in Llandaff Cathedral and St John’s<br />
Church, Cardiff. In Ty Hapus, the infant department<br />
at Howell’s, Christmas tunes leak under classroom doors as the girls create cards with<br />
a liberal dusting of glitter. Peek in through the nursery window, and girls are whirling<br />
their way though some energetic moves ahead of their Christmas concert. All in all, it’s<br />
the most wonderful—and busy—time of the year.<br />
Join us for our Open Afternoon on 9th February 2017. Alternatively, please email<br />
admissions@how.gdst.net or telephone 029 20562019 to make an appointment.<br />
Could you help save a<br />
baby’s life this Christmas?<br />
This month, children’s hospital charity, Noah’s Ark,<br />
launches its Tiny Lives Appeal with the aim of raising<br />
£1 million towards the development of the neonatal<br />
unit at the University Hospital of Wales.<br />
The money raised from the appeal will be spent on<br />
specialist life-saving equipment like ventilators which<br />
support premature or critically ill babies to breathe<br />
and a mobile X-Ray machine which allows doctors to<br />
diagnose and respond quickly to a vulnerable baby’s<br />
ever changing condition. The appeal will also help parents facing weeks and months<br />
of huge worry and uncertainty by providing things like video monitors so that mums<br />
recovering from birth can see their babies in the anxious hours before they can be<br />
re-united and family rooms where parents can be supported in caring for their precious<br />
infant before they leave hospital.<br />
By donating to the Noah’s Ark Charity Tiny Lives Appeal, you will be playing a part in<br />
ensuring the best treatment and outcome possible for premature and critically ill babies<br />
across South, Mid and West Wales. You’ll also be helping to grant their parents’ only wish<br />
– the chance to take their babies home.<br />
To make a donation, text LIFE04 and the amount you’d like to donate to 70070. Or for more<br />
