Terrific Techniquest
Wed 24 Jan 2024On Friday the 19th, the year 2’s went on a school trip to Techniquest. They left on the bus at 9:30 AM and arrived back at school at 2:30 PM. The children really enjoyed their visit and they especially enjoyed the hurricane room and the earthquake machine.
Mrs Richens said “I thought the slide was very good. All the children wanted to have a go on it.The beachball in the air was a lot of fun to see.” Noah from 2CJ said “It was really fun. It was my first time going there. I loved having a go at the fun exhibits. Thomas from 2CJ said “I really liked going on the bus. I sat next to my friend and we were in the same group. The hurricane machine made my hair go funny.”
All the children that we asked rated the trip a 5/5 but it would not have been possible without all the teachers and the parent helpers so a big thank you to all those who helped out with the trip.

Year 1’s adventure down to the church
Mon 22 Jan 2024On Monday 22nd January the year 1s walked from the school to St. Denis. Once they sat down, Rev. Jim told them about how Christians show they belong. He also explained some Christian ceremonies such as christenings, weddings and communion.
One child said “We learnt all about Christians and baptism. We saw some red wine and bread and learnt that it was Jesus' body and blood.” Another child said “I had a really fun time down at the church. It was also a lot of fun walking to the church.”
Thank you to everyone down at the church for a wonderful day. It was a brilliant outing.

World Religion Day
Mon 22 Jan 2024Llysfaen Primary looked at World Religion Day on Monday. This is a day that we respect and value. Year 6 looked at how people view identity and how they feel a sense of belonging if they move to another country. The whole school had an assembly from Mr Cannon about the importance of different religions and to respect them. The Curriculum Champions made a trailer about world religion. As part of World Religion Day, Year 1 discussed people from other faiths and showed how we all show care. Year 2 did a kahoot quiz about all religions and learned about religious buildings, signs and symbols whilst Reception studied the lost sheep from the bible.
Mr Cannon can finally sleep after days of planning!

Tue 16 Jan 2024On Tuesday, a few year 6 boys were picked to play in a 5-a-side football tournament at Ocean park arena.
An individual who played in the games said “After winning 9 nil against Glan Morfa we had a lot more confidence to play the rest of the games and made it through to the afternoon games. We came 3rd overall out of 8 teams. In the morning, our team came second and it was very very close between Whitchurch and us. The game finished 2 :2 and Llysfaen boys walked out with a smile on their faces and were happy with themselves.

Year 5 wheelchair fencing.
Thu 11 Jan 2024On Thursday 11th January, Year five went to watch the wheelchair fencing world cup called the Sabre Competition. They had an awesome time! There were many fights during the wheelchair fencing world cup, some of the highlights that the year 5s really enjoyed was the flags that they got to wave back and forth and they got signatures of some of the best British wheelchair professionals there are.
Some of the teams that GB played were China, France and Hungary. They put up amazing fights, some even winning . Brazil also played China which nearly every year 5 said was an amazing fight. Not only did the year fives get to watch the World Cup they also got to go to the armoury room! Which is where they test the sabres (swords) used in the competition.
A year five child said: “ It was fun to watch and I liked waving the flags!”.
Another child from year 5 said: “I think it was really inspiring because the people playing were using their disabilities as their strength!”.
The year fives had an incredible time! We are so lucky as a school to have opportunities like this.
