Pencoed Year 8

Congratulations to 8A who were again awarded ‘Form of the Week’ for last week. ⭐️

Today I had the opportunity to observe a cookery lesson (with some of my year group). To say I’m impressed is a complete understatement… MasterChef watch out!!! 👌🏻

Look at what our talented bakers and chefs have to been up; there is no end to their talents! From pizza making in Yr 7, bread in Yr 8, homemade butter in Yr 9 and beautifully decorated gateaux in year 10, quiches, chillis and pasta making; we can’t keep up! Da iawn, pawb!

Congratulations to Mrs Davies and her fantastic ‘CyberFirst Team’ who took part in the prestigious Champion of Champions Event. Having already placed 3rd in Wales (in the November challenge), the team took on 9 other schools and were crowned the Champion of Champions!!! ⭐️

Thank you to Arch Bishop for this afternoon’s fixture against our Year 10s and Year 8s. A shoutout to Ruby T who played up for Year 10 and also supported Year 8 (earning herself POM). Plus, Bronte for her movement and shooting accuracy. Some great netball on display!!!

Congratulations to 8A who were awarded ‘Form of the Week’ for last week. Well done to 91% of you for earning a House for your Monopoly Board!!! ⭐️

Beyond PROUD of each and every one of my Wellbeing Ambassadors. They each delivered a Q&A session with their form class this morning (and displayed such confidence and maturity). @PCS_pupilvoice

Last week’s assembly focused on SUPERSTITIONS. It was really interesting to discuss pupils’ views on these and to hear the most common examples… How many of the ones listed do you believe in?
