As if surrounded by a celestial halo, space shuttle Discovery made its way towards the expansive confines of NASA Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building following a move from its processing hangar on Sept. 9, 2010. A metal sling will be carefully connected to the spacecraft and then operators will hoist it from transfer aisle to the high reaches of the 52-story building before lowering it into place beside the external fuel tank and twin solid rocket boosters. Crews then will connect the spacecraft giving the stack its familiar launch day form. Discovery is targeted to liftoff on the 11-day STS-133 mission on Nov. 1 at 4:40 p.m. EDT.

The popular half term football school run by Mrs Nicholls at the Tenby Leisure Centre during half term was a great success again. Eager footballers from local infant and junior schools honed their skills and had great fun too. The three pupils below show off the medals and the football that they won!
St Teilo’s footballers have done their school proud this month yet again.

In even more football news, these six skillfull footballers played as part of Tenby’s girls' Under Elevens football team, and achieved an excellent rd place in the Pembrokeshire League.
But St Teilo’s soccer players’ achievements don’t end there. St Teilo’s, who were the winners of the finals of the under 11’s Community Cup covering the South and West Wales Region, represented Swansea City in the South of England Regional Tournament at Leyton Orient in London!
Their performance to represent Swansea City saw them lose only to Ynsymaerdy 1-2 (G 1), beating Penyrhent 2-1 (L 2), Penygaer 2-1 (H1, G 1), St Helens 2-0 (L 1, H 1), Tenby Juniors 2-1 (H 2) in the final.
At Leyton Orient, they were pipped to the semi-final by Millwall’s 5 points to St Teilo’s 4 points. During the first round, they lost to Luton 3-0, drew with Millwall 0-0, lost to Swindon 1-0 and beat Leyton Orient 1-0. Well done to all who took part!

Nadine in Class Four for playing well at football.
On the last day of the Easter Term, people passing by Class One were astonished to see that it was in a state that a short-sighted person, could, if they'd forgotten their glasses, charitably describe as not wholly untidy.
An explanation for this unprecedented event is still to be discovered. The most obvious cause, i.e. Mrs. Blackledge's absence, proving to be incorrect.
In a nearby room, the utterly brilliant and under-appreciated almost competent school cleaner, was kicked awake from his slumbers on a thick bed of dust and informed of the momentus event. "Oh yeah, it's because Mrs. Blackledge is amazing and fantastic and efficient. And I'm not just saying that because she gave me a creme egg and the tidyness was definetly not just a random happening." he mumbled untruthfully, before drifting back off to sleep.
The big question that remains is, are the chances of Class One being left in a civilised condition again, greater or lesser than the chances of winning the national lottery three weeks in a row without first purchasing a ticket? Hmm, about even I'd say.

On the evening of the 4th March the school choir was invited to entertain parents, friends and competitors during the interval at the Rotary Club of Tenby ‘Young Musician Competition held in St John’s Church, Tenby. The choir sang extremely well and were a great credit to the school and to Mrs Blackledge.
Three pupils from Year Six took part in the competition against children from other schools in the Tenby area. Congratulations to all three who played beautifully, and especially to the overall winner pictured below.
