KIM JAMES-WILLIAMS ART EXHIBITION |
|
Pupils in years 3 and 6 had an opportunity to visit an exhibition by one of the school's parents today. Recently Kim has been very busy researching and practising her skills - she recently visited the school in order to experiment and practise by drawing pupils and staff working. Today we saw the completed collection at the Aberystwyth University Art School. Many thanks to Kim for her interesting talk, and for showing us her technique when drawing people. |

THE OLYMPIC TORCH VISITS THE SCHOOL |
|
It was nice to welcome one of the Olympic torchbearers to the school today. Bridget James, who ran with the torch from the National Library up Penglais Hill in the morning, visited us in the afternoon in order to visit every classroom and give the pupils the chance to see and hold the torch themselves. Here in the photo Bridget is pictured with the pupils who decided to run alongside her on the road near the National Library. What fit children! |

HALFORDS TOUR SERIES |
|
|
The weather for the Halfords Tour Series was very different compared to last year, with the Sun shining along the promenade in Aberystwyth. The sun also shone on Ysgol Gymraeg riders as they managed to win several medals during the event. Congratulations to Dwynwen from Year 6 on winning the race for years 5&6 girls, with Sioned from year 5 coming second and Lily from year 6 third. In the race for years 3&4 boys Iestyn Llŷr won the silver medal. Well done to everyone who raced with many coming in the top ten. |
ARAD GOCH THEATRE COMPANY : GUTO NYTH BRÂN |
|
With the Olympic Games just around the corner, and to coincide with the flame passing through Aberystwyth this weekend, years 3,4,5&6 visited Theatr y Werin at the Arts Centre to watch a performance of Guto Nyth Brân. Thanks once again to Arad Goch Theatre Company for a production which the pupils and staff enjoyed immensely, by bringing the story of the "fastest boy in the world" to life. |

P.T.A SPONSORED WALK |
|
Many thanks to everyone who supported the Sponsored Walk this year. It was great to see so many taking part - pupils, parents, relatives, staff and past pupils all enjoying a leisurely walk along the various footpahs: along Plascrug Avenue for the little ones and to the cricket field and back for the older children. A big thank you also to Tŷ Nant for sponsoring the walk and providing us with hundreds of bottles of water for the thirsty walkers. |

LOOK WHO'S GROWING! |
|
As you can see, the chicks have been very busy eating a lot of food as they are by now very big chicks indeed! Soon they will be thinking about leaving the nest for the first time. Their parents are still busy feeding them regularly for them to continue to grow and get stronger ready for the big leap. We will need to keep a careful eye on them to watch that happen. |

THANK YOU MRS PITCHER! |
|
Many thanks to one of the school's parents, Mrs Pitcher, for yet again coming in to the school to help tidy and spruce up the school's green areas. Here her daughter and friends help plant new flowers and plants in the border by the main entrance. Thank you Mrs Pitcher for all your hard work throughout the year! |

ELMER'S DAY IN YEAR 2 |
|
During this term we have based our curricular activities on the story of 'Elfed' (Elmer Elephant). The highlight was a party to celebrate 'Diwrnod Elfed' (Elmer's Day) for which we have been preparing for a long time. The children used their computer skills to produce attractive posters and invitations, and colourful party hats were made and worn with pride! Jelly making was great fun and everyone particularly enjoyed preparing sandwiches: ham, cheese and of course, jam! Fairy cakes were kindly baked by Mrs Atkinson and decorated by the children. They were delicious! We had a picnic outside Elfed's cafe followed by dancing, games and a lot of fun. It was a fantastic day. |

MARTHA (FAIR TRADE) |
|
Year 5 had a very interesting visitor on Tuesday the twenty second of May. Martha came all the way from Zimbabwe to tell us how Fair Trade has improved her family’s quality of life in Zimbabwe. We saw photographs of the new water well that Fair Trade money has given them. Anna and Jack won Fair Trade chocolate for answering questions correctly. We then went out to the wonderful sunshine in the nature garden to enjoy an African drumming workshop. We each had a chance to play an African drum and learn some African beats, and Martha even taught us some African songs. Martha (and Elsie!) also danced wonderfully to the African beats. It really was a sight to remember! |
|
YEAR 3 VISIT THE ROYAL HISTORICAL COMMISSION OF WALES |
|
Tuesday morning was a busy one for the pupils of year 3, when they visited the Royal Historical Commission of Wales to look at aerial photographs, maps and old photographs of the town. We're very grateful to the Commission for the warm welcome we received and for the opportunity to learn more about our local area. |

YEAR 6 AT THE NATIONAL BOTANIC GARDENS |
|
|
In order to support the Geography work learnt in the classroom this term, Year 6 visited the National Botanical Gardens near Llanarthne. The aim of the trip was to learn and see an example of how to live a greener life, as the garden is very sustainable. It collects rainwater, grows willow for its own biomass boiler and treats its waste on site etc. Many thanks to Gloria for guiding us around the garden, and for her interesting facts and useful information. |

BRING A BIKE DAY IN YEAR 1 |
|
It was Bikes Day in Year 1 today. Everyone came to school with their bikes and scooters and spent a session on the yard going around different coloured cones and through narrow gaps. Everyone had a lot of fun cycling together, learning how to ride carefully without bumping into anyone else, which is quite a skill! |
