Turning Over A New Leaf for Eco Committee!
Fri 16 Feb 2024Eco committee is a committee where we try to help the planet and try to encourage people not to litter. On top of this we work as a team to try and improve the school's eco footprint through new ideas and schemes.
We have just elected a new Eco Committee!
As part of the new eco committee, I can say it was a challenging process where lots of people put themselves forward. We are now in the process of making the school greener and being the best we can. Mrs Hockin will push us to new heights and I can't wait!

Safer Internet Day
Tue 06 Feb 2024On Tuesday the 6th of February, the whole school took part in Safer Internet Day. The purpose of this day is to raise awareness about the internet and how to use it safely. The day before, the digital leaders planned an assembly all about how to be safe online.
We asked Berry (one of our Year 6 digital Leaders) what Safer Internet Day is and what the purpose of it was. She said “The purpose of Safer Internet Day was to tell people about the dangers and negatives of the internet and how to act safely online. I really enjoyed Safer Internet Day because it gave us time to acknowledge what we're doing and what choices we make.”
A massive thank you to the Digital Leaders and Mr Jones and Mr Tynan for helping setting up the day.

Fri 02 Feb 2024On Friday the 26th of January, the children of Llysfaen Primary were lucky enough to have their own break the rules day!
The children were allowed to break a number of rules. These rules included; wearing their own clothes, wearing fake tattoos, wearing makeup, painting nails and having an unhealthy snack or lunch.

Thank you to the PTFA for organising it!

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!

Year 6 5-a-side Football Tournament
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.
