Inter Year 6 Netball
Thu 30 Nov 2023On Thursday last week, year 6 braved the cold and had a netball tournament against each other. They were split into four teams and each assigned a colour. They then all played against each other and the green team came out victorious. One of our ex pupils helped to umpire the game. Everyone played beautifully and you could see how much the children improved over the course of an hour.
One child said “It was a freezing but exciting night. Everyone had loads of fun and it was enjoyed by all.” Thank you to Mr Jones for setting up the tournament and making sure everyone had lots and lots of fun.

A Y4 trip to the new library!
Tue 28 Nov 2023Earlier this week, the year 4s went to the new library in Lisvane to learn about Christianity and what beliefs they follow. They were taught the Christmas story by Ali Jenson and got to dress up as elves and live an elf life!
They also learnt 'elfish' language along with a dance and had lessons on how to do a makaton song. At the end of the trip they got to do a play on the first Christmas. Thank you to the staff who helped; Mr Gregory, Mrs Jones, Mrs Parker and Mrs Richens, the children clearly loved it!

Endless Matches!
Tue 28 Nov 2023On Thursday last week, there was a match against Pontprennau and then against Lakeside this Tuesday. These were our first home matches of the year and thankfully, the weather held off so that our teams weren't playing on a bog!
The girls team won against Pontprennau but the boys faced an unfortunate loss and then it was another loss suffered against Lakeside. Onwards and upwards! We have another two boys matches to look forward to next week against Coed Glas. We look forward to updating you on how this goes too!

Y2's Wonderful Walks!
Thu 23 Nov 2023Over the past couple of weeks,year 2 has been out and about around Lisvane. Their new topic, street detectives, is all about learning about their communities and the local space around them. On a walk around Lisvane, year 2 looked for the busiest roads and minor landmarks.
One child said, “We went out to learn about our community. We took some photos and put them in a pic-collage. We also learnt about stop, look, listen and think.” Stop, look, listen and think is a scheme to teach children about the importance of road safety. A year 2 teacher said how fantastic they were and how much they learnt.
The teachers and the students all had lots of fun. Everyone's behaviour was impeccable and they can’t wait to go on another adventure very soon!

Fantastic Football
Tue 21 Nov 2023This Tuesday the year five girls team faced an unfortunate loss to the Ton Yr Ywen girls squad. Sadly the girls lost 6-0 but our goalkeeper was incredible. The score would have been much more without her.
But for the year 5 mixed team it was different. The mixed team scored 2 goals with one of the boy’s scoring from about 15 yards out and the other goal was scored by a through ball played and a tap in. The year 5 mixed team beat the year 5 Ton Yr Ywen boy’s team 2-1 in the end but both teams showed great sportsmanship and that’s sometimes the most important part.

TASKMASTER - Charity Afternoon!
Fri 17 Nov 2023Taskmaster is a show on channel 4 which is a comedy and panel game. On the show, celebrities, mainly comedians, complete a series of challenging tasks.
Mr Cannon was Llysfaen Primary School’s Taskmaster, he also won the lip sync challenge last year with Mrs Cannon. We kindly asked him some questions and he said that he was a big fan of Taskmaster and he loved the experience of becoming the taskmaster. He also felt like Mrs Jenkins, the boss of our school!
The taskmaster assistant, Mr Gregory was expecting the worst because Mr Jones was planning the roles. He said it was really fun but it was also nerve wracking. His favourite task was the dictionary and the pen task or the pineapple task because both of them were based around the Taskmaster and his assistant guessing!
It was an awesome, fun filled afternoon where Ty Glas came out as eventual winners! Most of their points came from the final task which was done by the House Captains!

Taskmaster Scrabble!
Fri 17 Nov 2023Children across all years enjoyed joining in with incredible class games of scrabble on Friday. Each child chose a letter and wore it on their t-shirt to school. All the classes in the school competed to make the longest or highest scoring word. On the playground, Mr Jones (teacher of 6GJ) was gathering children left and right during the year 5’s and year 6’s breaktime. They managed to make the words “children in need”,”taskmaster” and “Llysfaen Primary school”. After the scrabble game, the children were all very excited for the taskmaster. It was an amazing fun-filled day!

Thu 16 Nov 2023On the 16th of November, Llysfaen girls had their first ever netball match against Llanishen Fach Primary school. Unfortunately, it ended in a loss 4-2 but the girls had a fantastic time and everyone tried their best.
We asked some of the players how they felt about the match. One person said that all the girls play with passion and strength. Even though they lost, everyone had fun and they’re ready for the next match.
Llysfaen showed excellent resilience and teamwork throughout the match. Everyone on the sidelines was blown away by the drive and determination. The match was a joy to watch and we hope to have another match in the near future.

Llysfaen Diwali Celebrations!
Mon 13 Nov 2023On monday the children began celebrating diwali which is a religious holiday celebrated by sikhs and hindus. This holiday focuses on celebrating light and the banishing of dark spirits. The children were very excited to take part in these celebrations and learn all about diwali and similar celebrations and what these different celebrations mean to different religions.
Year six have been celebrating diwali by creating their own rangoli patterns out of macaroni, brown and white rice, red and brown lentils and couscous. They were incredible and all of the children enjoyed taking part in it.
Year 4 have had a very busy start to the week celebrating Diwali. They have been making curry, doing henna and creating Rangoli patterns using coffee filters. They made the curry out of yummy ingredients including rice and vegetables. To use the henna they had to copy patterns and use a steady hand. The coffee filters were a hit and everyone had a smashing time!
