» Slideshow of semi-final matches and final in the school's Rugby World Cup tournament

 

"Today, on the last day of the half-term, was an exciting day for four special teams by reaching the semi-final: Australia v Scotland and Japan v Fiji. Both games were very close but Australia and Japan made it to the final. Again, a very close match but my team, Australia, under head coach Mr Williams, eventually won by a score of 24-7. Thank you to Mr Jones for organising the tournament during this half term, everyone have enjoyed immensely!"

My favourite was a yo-yo. There is a lot of choice in the Town Library - especially Roald Dahl's books - he's my favourite!"

» Slideshow of Nursery, Reception, Years 1 & 2 pupils enjoying the Urdd's Sbri Di-Ri at Plascrug Leisure Centre

 

"Today we walked over to the Leisure Centre to take part in Sbri Di-Ri. Mr Urdd was there celebrating his birthday. We sang many songs, such as ‘Hei Mr Urdd’, ‘Sali Mali’ and ‘Jemeima Mop’, and danced a lot. Sali Mali and Jac-Do were there, as well as a character called ‘Dewin’. We got stickers to wear with the letter ‘D’ for Dewin on them. Sali Mali had been very busy making jelly and a birthday cake for Mr Urdd. Sbri Di-Ri was a lot of fun, especially singing ‘Hei Mr Urdd’!"
Owain and Catrin Haf, Class 1R

 

CELEBRATING T.LLEW JONES DAY

 

»Slideshow of pupils celebrating the national remembrance day of the famous author and bard T.Llew Jones

 

"We celebrated National T.Llew Jones Day at school today. October 11th is an important day as it was the birth day of T.Llew Jones. In Year 6 we read a description of the character Alff Boswell from the book ‘Tân ar y Comin’ and answered some comprehension questions. Pupils from other year groups also did activities based on remembering T.Llew Jones - such as creating fact files about him, emulating the covers of his books and reading his poetry. I have read several of T.Llew Jones’ books and my favourite is ‘Dirgelwch yr Ogof’. I also love the film ‘Tân ar y Comin’ and have watched it several times. It is important to remember T.Llew Jones every year as he is a true legend to Welsh children."
Siwan Heledd, Dosbarth 6LL

 

YEARS 1 & 2 VISIT PENTRE BACH

 

»Slideshow of years 1 and 2 pupils visiting the Pentre Bach village

 

"Today we went to Pentre Bach to enjoy and celebrate T.Llew Jones’ books. Many of us dressed up as pirates which was a lot of fun! Lots of fun activities were prepared for us such a s a treasure hunt where we had to find the letters to make up two special words which were ‘Siôn Cwilt’. Then we saw a show about Siôn Cwilt, one of T.Llew Jones’ most famous characters, and even some of the teachers had to dress up like him too! The TV programme ‘Wedi 7’ were there to film everything and some of us from Year 2 will be speaking on television! In the cafe at Pentre Bach, we had a drink and a tasty biscuit before returning to school.”
Maria and Joseph, Class 2GJ

SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL DAY

 

» Slideshow of events during our International day

 

"Everyone in Year 3 came to school dressed in very colourful clothes today as our country was Peru. Rhys Davies came to teach us Spanish - I can count up to ten in Spanish! Also, Mr Watkins and his wife brought an Alpaca to show us. It was a quiet, shy and friendly animal. It felt quite strange to see an Alpaca on the school field!"
Erin, Class 3M

 

YEAR 6 VISIT THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF WALES

 

» Slideshow of Year 6 pupils visiting the National Library of Wales

 

"The National Library was full of information. We looked at old maps of Wales and Aberystwyth in particular, as well as seeing old photographs of our local area which dated back around a century and a half! The tour of the Library was also fun, especially the special shelves which can be moved by turning a wheel! Thank you to Rhodri and Owen for making the visit so enjoyable."
