Remarkable Rotary Club Competition
Fri 15 Mar 2024On the 15th of March, the Rotary Club composition was held at Llanishen High School. Six children were selected from schools around Cardiff to compete. For the competition, the children had to write a speech about a topic of their choice. They then had to debate over the topic. Our very own Stella was selected to compete in the competition. Stella’s speech was about whether teachers should get paid as much as footballers.
The week before, each pupil from the year six classes wrote a speech about a topic of their choice. Once each speech was said and videoed, the teachers had the tough choice of deciding who would represent our school. In the end, Stella was chosen.
Sadly, Stella did not come in the top three. Stella said “I am very proud to have got as far as I did in the competition. Congratulations to the winners.”
Well done to everyone who participated in the competition.

Terrific Tree Planting!
Wed 13 Mar 2024On Wednesday the Year 6’s took part in planting trees on our school field because it was suggested when they did pupil voice. The trees are only saplings at the moment but one day they will become fully grown trees for the children in our school to enjoy especially in the summer. The people that helped with planting the trees were very friendly and were very good at guiding the year sixes through the different stages of planting. Everyone really enjoyed it and it was an amazing experience for our year sixes, our school is so lucky to have these opportunities. The trees were planted on the amphitheatre (teletubbie hill) and around the side of the classrooms where they will stay for many more generations to come.
Elinor in 6GJ said: Everyone had an amazing time planting trees! We even named our tree Enid after Enid Blyton because she wrote the magical faraway tree.
Stella in 6BC said: It was really fun and I liked how I impacted on my school and it will be here for generations to come!
Berry from 6BC said: I really enjoyed planting the trees because it gave us time to relax. Also it was apart of our pupil voice, so that made it even better!

Girls 5-A-Side Football Finals
Tue 12 Mar 20248 outstanding girls went down to Ocean Park Arena on Tuesday the 12th of March. They played 7 AMAZING matches. In the first game the girls had to wear orange bibs because the other team was wearing red and oh my goodness, it did not put them off. They won 9-0 but in the next match they lost 1-0, followed by another 2-1 defeat. They went and begged Mr Jones to let them wear the 'lucky' bibs again and they won the next four matches!
I guess Mr Jones is to blame for the girls not winning the tournament!

Wonderful World Book Day
Thu 07 Mar 2024World book day was on Thursday 7th March and is a day to celebrate books and their authors. Each child came to school dressed as a book character of their choice.
There were some incredible costumes as always and the teachers put in just as much effort as the children, if not more!
Parents ordered Wonka chocolate bars from the PTFA that were delivered on world book day. Inside the chocolate bars there were golden tickets. Only 60 of the 500 chocolate bars that were on sale had golden tickets inside.
Everyone enjoyed world book day and had a great time.

Constant Netball!
Tue 05 Mar 2024On the 5th of March the Year sixes had a match against Llanishen Fach and beat them 12-4. Everyone was very happy that they won because last time they had a match against Llanishen Fach, they lost. The adults that watched the match really enjoyed it because the children played really well and it was fun to watch. There were two teams, the red team and the blue team, the red goalkeeper and the blue goal attack were the players of the match for Llysfaen!
On the 7th of March (only 2 days later!) the Year sixes played a Netball match against Coed Glas and beat them 18-0, there were 4 quarters and two teams, a red team and a blue team and the children played each quarter perfectly and didn’t concede a single goal! All the adults that watched the match said that the children played amazingly and the Llysfaen's red centre was voted player of the match by the Coed Glas.
Mr Jones did however, single out the defensive players in assembly as without them, the performance wouldn't have been nearly as impressive!

Each class had 4 days of the instructors helping to teach them the rules of the road. Each day they would help us build our confidence on bikes and it was a really fun and enjoyable experience.

A child in 6BC said: I learnt alot from the cycling instructor and they helped me gain confidence.
A child in 6GJ said: Cycling was really fun!
One child in 6BC: I thought that it was very fun because we got to learn new things.
They were super kind and helpful and we are so grateful to have had them come to our school.

Then on Friday, the bardic ceremony was held. The finalists were called and then it was time for the crowning of the Bard. The name of the Bard was called out and then the Bard had the crown and the cloak placed on them. The flower dancers then danced around the winning Bard before they then read out their poem and their parents came in. The Bard was given a Welsh love spoon, a dragon toy and a daffodil pin.
As for the house points, Ty Coch won the Eisteddfod by 5 house points, only just beating Ty Melyn. Everyone had lots and lots of fun and thank you to the staff for such a brilliant day.
