Argoed High School's public speaking team, speaker Amy Laird, questioner Alex Mclean and chairperson Jessica Evans.

Last week the school’s public speaking team stormed to victory in the final of the ESU National speaking competition, held in the surroundings of the Great Hall at Howell’s School, Llandaff, Cardiff.

Having come through earlier rounds in online competitions, the five teams, who were meeting one another in person for the first time, adapted well to a live audience.

The team, including speaker Amy Laird, questioner Alex Mclean and chairperson Jessica Evans, beat tough competition in a gruelling final.

Standards were extremely high, with notable contributions from Amy, who spoke with great confidence and conviction on the issue of driverless cars.

The four judges from the worlds of broadcasting, public relations and academia had some excellent advice for the young competitors, and after some very detailed deliberations, decided the team from Argoed would be representing Wales at the International Grand Final at Cardiff University in May, to compete against the other winning teams from the home nations.

South Wales branch president, Captain Sir Norman Lloyd-Edwards, who presented certificates to all contestants, added his thanks and best wishes at the end of proceedings.

This year, for the first time, the winners in Wales were presented with the Morgan Shield donated by retired South Wales chair, Derek Morgan OBE, DL and Mrs Anne Morgan MBE, DL.

Children at Penygelli CP School took part in a fundraising day for Ukraine.

The school recently held a non-uniform day to raise funds for Ukraine, and made a video of the children singing a song for Ukraine, A Wish for Peace.

Katy Boothby, a teacher at the school, said: "I have had links with teachers in Odessa, Ukraine for 18 years.

"As such as I have close friends there and showed the children some photographs of the time I spent in a beautiful country, with beautiful people.

"One of my friends also sent a special video message which she has recorded with her daughter, and we watched this before we sang the song.

"The children have all been very aware from the news of the suffering of ordinary Ukrainian people and, in particular, children.

"We talked about empathy and even though we can't change what's happening, we can show the people there that we care about them, that they are not alone and that they are in our thoughts and prayers.

"We can also raise money to send to those people who are helping. And most important of all, we can show them that we are wishing for peace in Ukraine.

"They really sang the song with all their hearts and showed they meant it, some wore blue and yellow, or Ukrainian flags and symbols or and some even made flags to wave in the video.

"My friends, who are all teachers, have promised to share the video with their friends, family, colleagues and pupils in Ukraine.

"We hope that we brought a smile to the faces of many people who may be feeling sad at the moment and we hope we gave them all some hope for a brighter tomorrow."

Pupils from Queensferry CP School take part in Winter of Wellbeing activities at Deeside Leisure Centre and Library.

Pupils were welcomed back by Aura Wales on a visit to Deeside Leisure Centre and Library to take part in various Winter of Wellbeing activities.

The visits have been a great way to introduce the children to the leisure and library resources available to them, and promote the importance of wellbeing.

Since January, children from every year group have visited the leisure centre and library to take part in a range of activities.

The children have tried out Aura’s Inflatable Park and Skate Park, and taken part in dance workshops with Eleni Cymru.

They have also enjoyed an extra special storytime session with Mama G at the library and participated in collage workshops with Simon Grennan, a local graphic novelist.

Gordon Rodger-Burns, Year 4 teacher at Queensferry CP School, Lee Breeze, leisure centre development officer, Paula Jones, Library Service manager, and Liz Gilligan, an Aura library assistant based at Deeside Library, have all played an integral role in organising activities.

Liz Gilligan said: “It has been wonderful to see the children and teachers from Queensferry CP School visiting us again.

“To see the children so excited about their visits to the library and taking books out is fantastic!

“They love having their own library card and really enjoy checking out their books on our ‘magic machine’!

“We can’t wait to welcome them back once again very soon for more fun at the library.”

Mr Rodger-Burns said: “It has been fantastic to re-engage the children in the activities on offer at the leisure centre and library.

“It is so vital for schools to provide experiences beyond the classroom and the support from Aura and the team at Deeside Leisure Centre has really helped us to do this.

“The children in every year group have been so excited to go to the library and leisure centre and I have loved hearing what they have enjoyed and seeing their smiles.”

Paula Jones added: “We have been able to show the children that reading is just the start of the adventure at Deeside Leisure Centre and Library; the pupils made their own comics, enjoyed themed dance sessions and chose books from our recently refurbished library.

“As part of the Winter of Wellbeing initiative we were also able to gift the pupils with a Welsh and English copy of The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse/Y Bachgen, y Wahadden, y Llwynog a’r Ceffyl to read at home.

“We look forward to welcoming the school back for our Summer Reading Challenge!”

Last month, Year 9 girls from the school attended Women in Construction Day, held at Coleg Cambria, Bersham Road Campus.

All of the girls were involved in various activities being showcased, including: plastering, joinery, welding, painting, plumbing, engineering, motor vehicle and technical construction.

They also chatted to local employers such as Anwyl and Redrow, to find out more about women working in construction and engineering.

Staff at Coleg Cambria praised the enthusiastic and mature attitude of the students, especially how engaged they were in the activities.

One member of staff said: "I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of your group, it was lovely to see the girls engaging with the activities and I hope they enjoyed it and it has given them something to consider moving forwards.

"They were so well behaved, and a credit to the school, it would be a pleasure to have you all back if we have another day like this again!"

Overall, it was a really positive experience for the pupils that gave them plenty to consider with regards to a career in construction.
