Welcome to the Barry school welcoming students over summer
"It's just been something that has become the heart and soul of what our school is about," says head teacher Janet Hayward.
Like 75 other primary schools around Wales, Cadoxton Primary, in Barry, welcomes children back for three weeks during the summer holidays.
Breakfast and lunch is served at the schools, with lessons replaced with sports and activities.
Student Jess said: "We play, do art, make new friends - it's my first year here and I really enjoy it."
