YEAR 6 GEOGRAPHY TRIP - RIVER CAERFANELL
Year 6 had an excellent day on River Caerfanell, high up in the Brecon Beacons near the source of
the River Taff.
They studied the downstream changes in the features and characteristics of the river from its source
to the mini delta at Talybont Reservoir.
They took measurements at three different sites, then compared the width, depth and gradient
before conducting an experiment on the velocity at each stage.
We lunched next to a beautiful waterfall in the youthful stage. The group were a pleasure to be with
all day, they worked hard and cooperatively in their groups. We look forward to the finished enquiries
at the end of term.

U9 Cricket - Year 3 & 4
Currently we have 18 boys in the Under 9 age
band, rising to 19 soon. We have 6 matches
over the term and the matches are 10-a-side.
Please be aware that we will rotate the Year
4 boys in to the team during the course of the
term. Some of the Year 3 boys will eventually
play if they are ready and have worked on their
skills and technique, especially their bowling.
Cricket can be an unforgiving and difficult game
if the children are worried about the harder ball
and /or are unable to bowl (they all will be able
to soon after a great start!). If there are any
problems or queries, please dont hesitate to
contact Mr Jones at the school.
When the U9s have a match, the rest of the
group will be under the guidance of Mr Alun
Dawkins, an experienced and talented coach
who was for many years the U16 Wales Team
Coach, and will be ablely assisted by Mr Robin
Francis.
YEARS 4 - 8 SWIM GALA AT
CLIFTON HIGH
After a closely contested series of races

throughout with some good performances from
some new team members. There were multiple
first places from Jake Wakeling, Rachel Shutt,
Toby Gaulton, Jonathan Baguley and Iona
Campbell.
The Year 8 children were a delight to be with
and fabulous role models.
Well done and thank you to all from Mrs
Hinchliffe and Mrs Pullin.
