Pendoylan School Welcomes Martyn Williams to Special Sporting Assembly

Pendoylan CIW Primary School was honoured to welcome former Welsh rugby captain and legend Martyn Williams, to present the awards at a special sporting assembly. The school celebrated the recent Rugby World Cup by holding their own tag rugby tournament. Nearly 100 pupils were divided into teams named after the nations competing at the World Cup and after a fantastic fortnight of exciting matches, the eventual winners were the excellent Scotland, against an unlucky Ireland, in a thrilling final.

Pendoylan School’s Enterprise Week Proves Hugely Successful

Every pupil at Pendoylan CIW Primary School, from the Nursery to Year 6, proved they have what it takes to be the next Apprentice during their superbly profitable Enterprise Week. The children worked diligently all week to design, make, market and sell a wide range of products, whilst also learning about profit and loss in the classroom. During the week they welcomed some special guests; a business advisor, Mr R Howells spoke to Years 3 and 4 and Zucchero Patisserie’s pastry chef, Mr Bishop-Scotti, helped Years 5 and 6 bake some delicious biscuits. The rest of the school produced some amazing products including candy cane mice, marshmallow snowmen, night lights, gingerbread men, soap and lots of delicious cakes. The children’s thorough research into the cost of producing each item, ensured a healthy profit was made when they came to sell their wares. In the jam-packed school hall, the children manned their own stalls to sell to the impressed parents. After a couple of hours trading, the children had made a whopping £525 profit for their very proud school.
