Year 8<br />
There have been many interesting and exciting<br />
events happening since Christmas. Pupils have<br />
been taking part in canoeing, where they have had<br />
expert instruction at Cardiff International White<br />
Water Centre in Cardiff Bay. The Year 8 Musical<br />
‘Oliver’ has been keeping many pupils busy due<br />
<strong>to</strong> rehearsals. The annual Eisteddfod was very<br />
successful with many pupils showcasing their<br />
talents on stage and in homework competitions,<br />
well done <strong>to</strong> all those involved. We have been<br />
very pleased with Year 8’s response <strong>to</strong> the house<br />
point scheme and 85 pupils were rewarded with a<br />
trip <strong>to</strong> the West Midland Safari Park. All pupils<br />
have made mature decisions <strong>this</strong> year regarding<br />
their GCSE subject choices ready <strong>to</strong> start in Year<br />
9. The ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ presentation<br />
was informative and a great success!<br />
