Llangrannog 2013

Hey guys! Its Joe, Cam and Dan. On the 12th of July some of year five and six went to Llangrannog in West Wales with the teachers Miss James, Mrs James and Mr Stone, there were lots of schools there not just our school.

We did lots of activities like swimming, quad biking, skiing , Horse riding, tobogganing and  go carts. We also did  a mud adventure course, orienteering, high ropes, low ropes, climbing wall and trampolining. They  were fun do take part in and were extremely amazing. It was six in each room and we stayed there for three days and two nights. Our rooms were very nice and clean. We would choose between ourselves who could go in each bed. The teachers chose who was in our rooms and they put us with our friends. We had to take responsibility of our rooms such as keeping it tidy and try and not leave anything behind when we came back.

Our favorite activity was tobogganing because we had multiple goes and sometimes we fell off and it was funny. We also really liked the go carting, orienteering and the quad bikes we would give Llangrannog a 9/10 because it is always room for improvement.

     
      

Southerndown Beach Trip

Hey guys! Its Dan and Joe here. On the 8th of July year five and six went to southerndown beach by Bridgend. At first we walked down tothe beach and then everyone put suncream on then jumped in the water, some people went looking for crabs and other people dug holes and squirted people with water guns LOL!

After that we all had lunch some people  played tennis, Rugby and Football, others kept looking for Crabs in the rockpools.Meanwhile beach ball set off to sea and Mr Evans tried to catch it but it sadly floated off.

After that we all went into the sea and we got extremely wet some people went underneath the water after that we all came back up from the sea and got dressed then had a ice cream and some people had a drink then we all had a walk back up to the bus and went home.

Hey guys! Olivia and Taylah here! Today (10/7/13) all the digital leaders (Olivia,Taylah,Holly,Dan,Joe and mason) visited blackwood comp. We went to Blackwood comp because we went to an ICT workshop and the year ten’s showed us this new app on the computers called scratch, it was so fun to learn off them. On Scratch you can make differnt scenes with different animals, you can even design games on there ( we made a game of space raders). We were there along with another 17 pupils from various different schools. Heres what Daniel thought ” It was amazing to learn how to use and fun to make games on!”

We are currently trying to download scratch onto our computers in school! We think everybody there had a great time!

Hi guys its  Dan, Holly and Joe and  here!  On Monday the 1st of July taekwondo came to our school we had a half an hour session learning diffrent kicks, punches and self defence.

Our first thing that we learnt was a punch we punched the bags then we did another punch which was extremely amazing. Then we did some kicks the first one that we did was a front kick, you had to put your knee and kick keep your toes back and and hit the bag. 

 We also did self defence so basically what to do if somebody grabs you or tries to hurt you.He showed us this one spot that really hurts if you pinch it ( Somebody did it to me and I nealy cried ) :( then he tought us another one when if somebody grabs you from the front you can get out of it by getting your hand and pushing it against somebody elses hand and then their hand should have let go.

Then we did Rowing. First of all we did a mini circut first one of the stops were squats then it was press ups with some of the boys they made it harder and put there hands in a diamond shape and the last one was keeping our knees up high so we would jog keeping our knees up high then we would do it as quick as we could. Then we went on to a Rowing machine and Rowed for about two minutes flat then had a break and had another go it was amazing.

The last activitie that we did was Gymnastics we had a walk around the mat first of all ( it felt like jelly ) Then we split into groups and used springboards it was extremely fun I enjoyed it. Then we did not use the springboard and did rolly polies, handstands and cartweels on the mat.
