"Rhys To The Rescue" and Words for week

Rhys to the rescue BBC 1,  7.30PM Wednesday - A great watch for all budding scientists. 

In 2010, the BBC Wales series Rhys to the Rescue followed Dr Jones, on a series of emergency call-outs. Dr Jones, a reptile expert, is one of the few people who can be called on to rescue endangered species. An average working day for him can take in snakes, scorpions and spiders. Now a second series again follows Dr Jones on his calls, this time with a wider range of animals. The School of Biosciences will be screening the first programme in the series to coincide with its screening on Wednesday night. In the opening episode of the new series of Rhys to the Rescue, there’s a squatter in an Abertridwr bathroom - a live corn snake 36 inches long.

Santa visits Year 3

The Children had a fantastic time last Friday when they took their letters to Santa. All of the pupils had some festive fun in Jolly Jesters, before meeting the big man himself. Their behaviour was fantastic and all had a gift to take home. All of our parents will get a photograph of their child with Santa over the next few days.

Going Green

This week in year 3, is Going Green week. We are looking at how we can reduce the amount of water that we use in our daily lives. To kick start the topic we did a teamwork activity that made us think of water as a precious commodity. We were split into groups, and had to get water from one end of the yard to the other using sections of drain pipes. The winning group had the most amount of water at the end of the course. Year 6 were on hand measure the water, and to check that all the rules were met. The children worked brilliantly in their groups, showed superb teamwork and started to think of water as a resource.
