8Th November 2013 Dear Parents, Staff News Welcome Back to Miss 8th November 2013 Dear Parents, Staff News Welcome back to Miss Crompton who returned to school this week from maternity leave. Congratulations to Mrs Kursitis who got married over half term. Although now officially Mrs Warrilow, she has decided to remain as ‘Mrs K’ in school! Christmas Cards Christmas card orders were sent home this week. The company does have a returns policy if you are unhappy with the quality of any cards or gift tags. Please check that each item in the pack has your daughter’s name on it and if you need to return your cards, please send them into school (with an explanation of the problem) by next Friday 15th November. Individual Photographs Your daughter should have brought home a proof copy of her individual school photograph this week. If you would like to place an order, please return the order form (including payment) to school by Tuesday 12th November. Cheques should be made payable to ‘Colorfoto’. Alternatively, you can order on-line directly at www.colorfoto.co.uk Speech and Drama Lessons Miss Steadman would like to remind parents that there are no speech and drama lessons next week as she is away. Nursery To eternity and beyond!! This week we met Zowie and Delyth who invited us to the intergalactic Alien space lab. We learnt about the different planets which orbit the sun. We found out that our planet Earth is quite unique as it is the only planet to have running water, ice and air. We made clay divas for Diwali and have had lots of fun learning our new sounds 't' and 'i' and number 5. Next week we shall be focusing on the sounds 'n' and 'p' and the number 6. Junior School Menu A copy of the lunch menu for girls in Nursery to Year 4 is available to view at the end of this newsletter. Next week will be Week 3. Techniquest Star Lab Nursery, Reception and Year 1 enjoyed an exciting ‘alien adventure’ on Wednesday when Techniquest’s star lab, an inflatable planetarium, brought the night sky to our school hall. The girls had the opportunity to identify stars, planets and constellations in the night sky and to meet Delyth the dragon and Zowie the alien, who came to Earth on holiday! Year 1 Visit to Llandaff Fields On Monday afternoon we all went to Llandaff fields. It was sunny and cold. We all wore our wellies and tracksuits to keep us warm. We found oak, beech, sycamore and birch trees. We drew them and learnt about them. We had crowns and we decorated them with leaves, acorns and twigs. There were loads of ladybirds there. We threw leaves in the air and everybody took photos with the school cameras. It was good fun and it tired us out! Year 1 I.C.E. Bridge Building Project The girls from Years 3 and 5 were treated to a very special opportunity to build the I.C.E. Bridge, a large scale suspension bridge in the Sports Hall yesterday. This involved wearing hard hats, safety goggles, high visibility jackets and protective gloves in order to manoeuvre the treads and traction equipment into a fully operational and load bearing suspension bridge spanning half of the Sports Hall. The girls were required to co-operate in teams, follow strategic instructions and use their initiative; the result of their hard work was truly astounding. We would like to thank Costain Construction who generously hosted the event and provided the manpower and equipment for the day. Lesotho Assembly The girls found out more about Lesotho today and the school we support in the Leribe district, Likhakeng High School. Wales has been linked with Lesotho for more than 30 years and the charity Dolen Cymru has been leading the way. Both countries, Wales and Lesotho are very similar. Both are mountainous, bilingual, have similar forms of Government and the people have a great love of music. Some of Howell’s staff have visited the school and Likhakeng High School staff have been to Howell’s. The Queen of Lesotho has also been here! In the near future we will be announcing a fund raising day because we would like to set up a Bursary Fund to allow at least one student, who could not otherwise go to school, to complete their secondary education at Likhakeng High. The annual cost of attending secondary school for one year in Lesotho is £250 for a day pupil and £350 for a boarder. Watch this space for more news! Charity Week Photo Quiz Can you guess the childhood photo of each teacher? Prizes will be awarded to the winners! The photos can be found at the end of this newsletter and entry forms were sent home with the girls today. Please hand in your completed answer sheet and a £1 entry fee (which will be donated to charity!) to Mrs R Thomas (5J teacher) by Friday 15th November. Happy sleuthing! Children In Need – Friday 15th November To support Children In Need next Friday the girls will be allowed bring their favourite teddy bear to school for a suggested donation of £1. Pitch In Update Our College students are holding a Charity Fashion Show and Dinner at Howell’s on Saturday 16th November 2013 at 7.30pm. Tickets for the evening cost £25 per person and can be purchased from the main office in the Senior School. Funds raised will be split between the Noah's Ark Appeal, Velindre and Pitch In. I hope you will join us for what promises to be a fantastic evening. Tickets for our evening of ‘Glamour and Glitz at John Lewis’ are available to buy from Mrs Thomas at the Junior School Office. Tickets cost £7 (£5 of which is redeemable against any purchase made within the beauty area) and include drinks on arrival, canapés, shopping, prize draw, celebrity guests, a performance from Howell’s students and a bar area available for gentlemen! Any proceeds will go towards Pitch In. Family and friends are welcome, the more the merrier! A very big thank you to one of our Mums, Julie Morgan, for running a First Aid course yesterday and raising funds for Pitch In. Thank you also to the mums who attended the course, we hope you enjoyed it! In previous newsletters we have referred to our ‘Mumbai Magic’ event that was due to take place in January 2014. The event has been postponed and will now take place in February 2014 and we will confirm the date with you as soon as possible.

Lunch will cost £35 per head. New faces are welcome so please feel free to pass this to any fathers you think will want to attend!

GDST Junior Heads’ Conference This year, I am the Chair of the GDST Junior Heads’ committee and will be hosting the annual conference in Cardiff next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The delegates will be visiting Howell’s on Friday morning and I am sure they are looking forward to seeing the school and meeting the staff and girls. Mrs Ludlam and Mrs Matthews will be in school all week if you need to see them in my absence. Lost Property Ashi S (Year 1) has lost her named school raincoat. I would be grateful if you could check at home in case your daughter has picked it up accidentally.

  • Council Statement
    CARDIFF COUNCIL CYNGOR CAERDYDD COUNCIL: 20 JUNE 2019 CULTURE & LEISURE STATEMENT 2019 Urdd National Eisteddfod I am sure that Members will wish to join me in congratulating the organisers of the 2019 Urdd National Eisteddfod that was held in Cardiff Bay from 27th May to 1st June. Access to the Maes was free this year and resulted in over 100,000 people visiting the festival over the six days. A new development which proved to be very popular was extending the entertainment on the Maes itself, with bands such as Chroma, Gwilym, Candelas and Fleur de Lis playing on two stages on the Maes. The Wales Millennium Centre and surrounding areas of Roald Dahl Plass provided a sensational backdrop to a range of activities celebrating Welsh language and culture. 797 branches of the Urdd took part in the Eisteddfod; 14,500 pieces of Art, Design and Technology work were submitted and 70,000 names from all parts of Wales and beyond were registered to compete in a wide range of competitions. My congratulations to all those who took part. Museum of Cardiff The Cardiff Story Museum has launched a new appeal for funds with a change of name. As a result, from 3rd June 2019, the Cardiff Story has become the Museum of Cardiff. This move coincides with the museum’s plan to raise half a million pounds to help support future programmes, exhibitions and education work. The museum is now 8 years old and, in that time, it has welcomed over 1.1 million visitors from Cardiff and all over the world.

  • Assessment 02Assessment2
    ASSESSMENT 02ASSESSMENT2 13 SITE LOCATION PLAN 14 PLASDWR | DESIGN AND ACCESS STATEMENT ASSESSMENT 02 THE SITE 2.1 The site encompasses two farmsteads, namely Pentrebane and Maes- y-llech, as well as a former farm building/ residence at Ty Gwyn. 2.2 Land to the north of Pentrebane Road is primarily in agricultural use and is used for grazing, crop production and occasional horticulture. The land is compartmentalised by hedgerows and woodland blocks of varying size, condition and status, and in parts is of a poor quality resulting from a lack of management and regular maintenance. 2.3 In terms of the quality of the agricultural land, the land within the site is predominantly classified as Grade 3a and 3b land. There are no areas of Grade 1 or Grade 2 land within the site. The distribution of Grade 3a and 3b land appears to reflect the prevailing topography, with plateau areas generally consisting of the higher Grade 3a land and the sloping ground Grade 3b land. 2.4 As well as hedgerows, woodland and grassland areas, a number of ponds, streams and ditches are located within the site which provide wildlife corridors through the site and the wider landscape. 2.5 Key woodland blocks provide screening and shelter, as well as a framework for the wider landscape. These include woodland at Coed-y-Trenches, Hafwrt, Coed-y-Gof, Waterhall Plantation and Coedbychan. The pattern of woodland largely follows the topography of the site, with many of the steep slopes having coverage.
