AM Gwenda Thomas has expressed her delight at attending the official opening of the Outdoor Learning Environment Centre at Rhydyfro School near Pontardawe.

She said congratulations were due to the Welsh Assembly Government for providing the Foundation Phase funding which had been match-funded by Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council.

"Praise is also due to Katie Davies, a Foundation Phase Teacher and Lindy Lewis, a nursery nurse at the school who amongst others have taken the lead for much of this project," said Ms Thomas.

"There has also been a significant financial and personal contribution from parents to ensure the opening of this centre which will be an excellent resource for all the pupils of Rhydyfro Primary School. "
