Rhosddu Primary School The school held exciting events throughout the day for last week s World Book Day. Children dressed up as their favourite characters, made even more exciting as this was the first day all of Foundation Phase were with their friends. The pandemic did not stop the junior department, as all staff read a couple of pages of a book to send out via Google Classroom. The children gave it a good go trying to recognise which member of staff was reading certain pages.
AN unlikely friendship between Rufus the bullock and a student has had a heartwarming ending - with it leading to Rufus being spared the slaughterhouse. Anna Ahuja helped save the animal on behalf of her son Ashwin, who was completing his Masters at university and struck up an unusual friendship with the bull during lockdown, which Ashwin was spending alone. He came across ‘Rufus,’ a young bullock being reared for beef, during daily lonely walks through a local field. Ashwin said: “It was very easy to from an attachment with Rufus. We soon started to look out for each other and say hello. He was the one in the herd who would come over and enjoy a fuss. During lockdown, like so many people I had a solitary existence which started to get me down. Seeing Rufus coming over to say hello lifted my spirits and made me smile.”
