We look at lots of different athletics events including sprint, distance running, hurdles, relay, long jump and shot put throwing.
Throughout the summer term there are lots of indoor and outdoor athletics events which many schools in Swansea take part in. We have always enjoyed taking part in these events and we have done very well in previous years having children getting to the finals and going on to county trials!
Come along to practise your athletics skills!
Rugby

Rugby takes place on a Thursday this year, after school with Mr Casker.
Initially, rugby will be for years 5 and 6 because of the large number of pupils who show an interest. In the event that there is space, year 4 players will be invited to come to our sessions but this will depend on their skill level and them having played rugby before.
Rugby is open to all pupils and all that is needed is an appropriate change of kit. Rugby/football boots are favourable but there are a number of spare pairs in school to save parents going out and buying them. Please ask Mr Casker before you spend any money unnecessarily.
We try to carry on irrespective of the weather unless it is really bad or the pitch is under water so please expect your washing machine to take the strain! If the session is to be cancelled then a Parentmail will be sent out by 2pm to inform you.

The Senior Choir is run by Mrs Evans and Mr Rees. It consists of pupils from Years 4 to 6.
We practise every week on a Tuesday until 4pm.

We love to perform in school assemblies and concerts outside of school. In the past, we have performed in the Welsh Millenium Centre in Cardiff at the Land of Song event which celebrated the life and stories of Roald Dahl. We have also performed “Carols at Christmas” with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales at St David’s Hall in Cardiff.

Film Club/Clwb Ffilm
Film Club is for children in Years 4-6 and meets every Monday after school until 4pm in the Learning Lounge. It is run by Mrs Parry, with the support of our film club members.
We look through the Into Film catalogue, discuss what’s available and then vote on the films we’d like to watch. Then we dim the lights, sit back and relax, taking everything in on the big screen. Afterward, we discuss what we think about the film and some of us post reviews online. In the past, we have watched a series of animated short films, the BFG and the Dark Crystal to name a few.
Film Club also got involved in the Into Film’s free film festival before. We chose the film we wanted to see, ‘Ballerina’, and absolutely loved it! It surprised us all. We also organised a cinema trip in December for Year 1-5. We watched a range of film trailers, thought about the age range of the children viewing, considered how suitable it would be for all of the audience and finally decided upon ‘Paddington 2’ as our must-see film. We had a fantastic time at the Reel Cinema with children and staff alike enjoying our choice of film.
We have also travelled to Bad Wolf Studios in Cardiff for the day for a day out arranged by Screen Alliance Wales. We worked with lecturers from USW for a Green Screen workshop. Then we toured the art, graphics, visual effects and costume departments before going on a hush, hush tour of the set for their latest production for the BBC – Philip Pullman’s ‘His Dark Materials’ series. It was an amazing day out.
