Weekly Bulletin 10 Ysgol Sylfaenol Brynmawr Brynmawr Foundation School Weekly Bulletin 10 Ysgol Sylfaenol Brynmawr June 15th 2020 Please find below the letter which was circulated to parents/carers on Friday. Please note another letter will be sent nearer to 29th June with more precise information regarding your child’s return to school and another survey will also be sent out shortly from the school. In the meantime please do email the school if you have any questions you would like to ask and we will try our best to answer any queries you may have at this time. Intermediate Road Rhydw Brynmawr Blaenau Gwent NP23 4XT Tel: (01495) 310527 Fax: (01495) 311944 Email@ Brynmawr.school@blaenau -gwent.gov.uk Web: www.brynmawrschool.co.uk Twitter: @brynmawr_school Headteacher: Mr Gerard McNamara BSc, MA 15 June 2020 Dear Parent/Carer, RE: Schools re-opening Since the Welsh Government announced that schools will be re-opening, we have been planning for what this will look like. The “Check in; Catch up; Prepare for summer and September” programme is designed to give all pupils an opportunity to ‘check in’ with their teachers regarding their home learning and ‘catch up’ with their friends. This will prepare all pupils mentally, emotionally and practically for the ‘new normal’ in September. Our decision to invite pupils into school will be based on what is safe, practical and directly linked to the existing scientific and medical information available. We are currently installing new signage and controlled measures in school to adhere to the Welsh Government Operational and Learning guidance. Following an analysis of the school site and classroom space and considering the impact of social distancing, we have concluded that the class size capacity for this summer term, will be capped at a maximum of 8 pupils per class. To reduce social mixing, our small classes will be kept within a ‘bubble’ meaning these pupils will stay together during the school day. In order to limit contact with other pupils we will also be having staggered arrival and departure times. To reduce contact between pupils, we will not be providing food. The school day will run between 9am to 12:30pm. I can confirm that we will not be expecting students to wear full uniform, pupils do not have to wear blazers or ties. If pupils have outgrown their white shirt, trousers or skirts, pupils can either wear their PE kit to school or a white top, black jumper and black bottoms (although no jeans will be allowed). For this period we are also relaxing our rule on footwear. As no more than a third of pupils will be in school at any one time, we have allocated specific days for your child to come to school with only one year group in school each day. We are planning to welcome pupils into school as follows: • Yr 10 (Monday and Thursday) • Yr 9 (Tuesday) • Yr 8 (Wednesday) • Yr 7 (Friday) • Yr 11 will be invited to individual transition meetings Currently the Local Authority are providing a limited provision for transport to school. A number of pupils who live under two miles from school and who use school funded transport will not have this provision available to them at this time. With a reduced number of pupils in school, this does mean that home learning will continue and pupils will be expected to work at home when they are not in school. The time they are in school will provide your child with support for the work they are completing at home. We will be distributing a further survey to help us plan effectively and efficiently for your child’s return towards the end of this week. If we can encourage you to complete it, it will help us with our preparation. I will contact you again next week to provide your child with specific instructions regarding their return to school. Please stay safe and thank you for your continued support. Yours faithfully, Gerard McNamara Headteacher Just a few of the very kind messages from parents/carers to our hardworking staff. Thank you, they are very much appreciated: [Grab your your [Grab In this bulletin you will find: Celebrations of pupils’ efforts and work this past week from staff Information from each faculty area and examples of pupil work Important information from School Wellbeing information Key information from Blaenau Gwent Home Learning access information Contact details for all of our staff Home Learning Please see the school website for Home Learning work Submission of Home Learning We appreciate that some of our pupils are completing their work on paper rather than electronically and this is completely fine. Can we ask when the work is returned to school and given into the member of staff in reception that the name of the pupil and the teachers/subject the work is for is written on the work. This is just to ensure that the work is able to get to the appropriate staff member as quickly as possible. Home Learning Award As you may be aware, the first three weeks since launching these home learning awards has passed and therefore, we are currently in the process of identifying those pupils who will be receiving their certificates as part of our Home Learning Award This first award is the Novice award - Certificates will be awarded to those pupils achieving within the top 20% of points awarded on Classcharts for the last three weeks of home learning (Together with the successful completion of their projects) These certificates will be sent out towards the end of this week! Remember you and your child are able to access Classcharts regularly to see the achievement points on your child’s account. Please continue to praise them on their efforts and engagement. If you do not have access to your account, please don’t hesitate to contact the school at [email protected]. Please encourage your child to try their best!

This is where pupils will enhance their knowledge and understanding of performance & technical aspects of a production. Here are a few you can stream to your Home! Barber Shop Chronicles – 14th May A Streetcar Named Desire – 21st May Practical Activities/Competitions for Key Stage 3 & 4 Monologue – Drama – Covid-19 feelings; Do you know what it feel is like to have a family member on the front line? Do you know what it feels like waking up everyday worried about your mother being at risk? I have to deal with it; my mum does a full day’s work as a key worker helping out with covid-19 patients. Some days, I’m stressing about how my mum is doing at work, and other days I’m so proud of her for being there for others at risk. Days in lockdown have been very boring to say the least; hearing the news and doing the same thing over and over again isn’t fun. I’ve seen a different side of me that I’ve never knew before... It’s a very unsettling time for all, but we have just got to push through it and make a difference. We can fight the virus and make the world happy again! We can see our family and friends again! The Drama Department continues to receive excellent work. Pupils wrote Monologues about their time in Lockdown & we have seen some brilliant performances this week in costume, with some incorporating lighting & sound.

  • Newsletter 98, November 2019
    Editorial All our good wishes have been with Glen our President, in Addenbrooke’s hospital, Cambridge, after suffering a stroke, and it is with great sorrow that we have now heard he has died. Many tributes to Glen and his poetry, and many contributions from him have appeared in Newsletters over the years. He will be celebrated on the Powys website and in our next (Spring) Newsletter. This year has been shadowed by several other lamented losses to the Society – of Cecil Woolf, Tordis Marks, and, sadly unexpectedly, of Jacqueline Peltier, a moving spirit of energy and Powys appreciation since her introduction to Weymouth as a young schoolgirl, leading through years of Powys contributions to her recently published new French translation of Weymouth Sands as Perdita Wane. It was a great pleasure to meet her son (another ‘Jeff’) and grandson Arthur, younger brother of Rémi whom we had seen at our last Llangollen conference with his grandmother Jacqueline (see photo in NL 92, p.20). JP’s excellent lettre powysienne, an always stimulating companion to our Journal and Newsletter, opened windows to Powys interests in Greater Europe. Jacqueline’s role as the Society’s ambassador will be taken on by Marcella Henderson-Peal, a later but equally active and sympathetic Society member in France and beyond. And we think of Max Peltier, a supportive power behind the throne, to whose technical help we have so often been grateful. Tributes to Jacqueline are on pages 20-27. An obituary by David Goodway of our great benefactor, Cecil Woolf, is on p.27.

  • A Scholar and His Saints. Examining the Art of Hagiographical Writing of Gerald of Wales
    UNIVERSITY The life of Giraldus Cambrensis / Gerald of Wales (c.1146 – c.1223) represents many PRESS facets of the Middle Ages: he was raised in a frontier society, he was educated in Paris, he worked for the kings of England and he unsuccessfully tried to climb the ecclesiastical ladder. He travelled widely, he met many high-ranking persons, and he wrote books in which he included more than one (amusing) anecdote about many persons. Up to this day, scholars have devoted a different degree of attention to Giraldus’ works: his ethnographical and historiographical works have been studied thoroughly, whereas his hagiographical writing has been left largely unexamined. This observation is quite surprising, because Giraldus’ talent as a hagiographer has been acknowledged long ago. Scholars have already examined Giraldus’ saints’ lives independently, but an interpretation of his whole hagiographical œuvre is still a desideratum. This thesis proposed to fill this gap by following two major research questions. First of all, this thesis examined the particular way in which Giraldus depicted each saint. Furthermore, it explained why Giraldus chose / preferred a certain depiction of a FAU Studien aus der Philosophischen Fakultät 17 particular saint. Overall, an examination of the hagiographical art of writing of Giraldus Cambrensis offered insight into the way hagiography was considered by authors and commissioners and how this art was practiced during the twelfth and thirteenth century.

  • 1 History of SARAH JENKINS 1834-1916 and WILLIAM JAMES 1830-1922
    History of SARAH JENKINS 1834-1916 and WILLIAM JAMES 1830-1922 1 SARAH JENKINS and WILLIAM JAMES By Marion Lofthouse Maxwell Sarah Jenkins is the daughter and sixth child of John Jenkins and Emma (or Emily) Jones. She was born 17 February 1834 in Llanelly Carmarthenshire, Wales, spending her youth in Wales. According to Hazel James Call she had curly black hair and brown eyes, loved music, singing and dancing and never failed to take part in these activities as long as she lived. She also stated, Sarah’s family was talented in music. The Llangendeirne Parish Church in the County of Carmarthen has record of John and Emma’s marriage, FHL #105,174, page 51, #151, quoting: “John Jenkins of this Parish, Bachelor and Emma Jones of the Parish of Llandeveilog, Spinster were married in this church by Banns, Twenty-ninth day of April in the year One thousand eight hundred and twenty three”. Sarah’s father, John Jenkins was the son of Thomas John later Jenkins and Elizabeth Evan. They lived at Stickle Farm (formal Welsh spelling is Ysticlau Farm) in the Parish of Llangendeirne, County of Carmarthen, Wales. Sarah’s mother, Emma Jones was the daughter of David John later Jones and Catherine David (still proving her identity) who lived on Brynygorse Farm in the Parish of Llandeveilog, County of Carmarthen, Wales. Each farm is in a different parish but very close in proximity. Burial of a Catherine Jones, Brynygorse, at the age 61 in the Parish Church yard at the Llangendierne Parish Church on 2 May 1825 could very well be our Catherine David.

  • Register of Interests of Assembly Members
    NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR WALES REGISTER OF MEMBERS' FINANCIAL AND OTHER INTERESTS AND RECORD OF MEMBERSHIP OF SOCIETIES REPORT OF THE REGISTER OF MEMBERS' FINANCIAL OR OTHER INTERESTS [top] UPDATED 31 MARCH 2011 Introduction 1. Section 36 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 and Standing Order 31 require the National Assembly to maintain and publish a register of interests of Assembly Members. 2. Members are required to register any relevant interests within eight weeks of taking the oath or affirmation and also register within four weeks any changes to those interests. Section 36(7)(a) of the Government of Wales Act makes it an offence for any Member to participate in proceedings of the Assembly without having registered a relevant interest as specified in the Annex to Standing Order 31. The responsibility for complying with the duties to register and declare interests rests with Members alone, although they may seek advice from the Assembly Parliamentary Service. Thresholds 3. Part 5 (iv) of the Annex to the Standing Order 31 provides for the establishment of thresholds over and above which Assembly Members are required to register gifts, hospitality and other material benefits or advantages. An Assembly resolution in May 2006 established the threshold for the registration of gifts and hospitality as 0.5% of the basic gross annual salary for an Assembly Member (which is currently approximately £253). 4. Some Members choose to register a number of matters that fall below the stipulated thresholds. They are entitled to do this if they so wish. However, it should be stressed that those Members who have observed the thresholds have thereby complied precisely and in full with the rules as laid down in the resolution of the Assembly.

This dissertation addresses the use of sense of place in English and Anglo-Latin historical texts from the twelfth to the seventeenth century, specifically where they deal with the history of the island before the Anglo-Saxon settlements of the fifth century.

  • The Presence of the Past: Medieval Encounters in the Writing of Virginia Woolf and Lynette Roberts
    The Presence of the Past: Medieval Encounters in the Writing of Virginia Woolf and Lynette Roberts Siriol McAvoy Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Literature) School of English, Communication and Philosophy Cardiff University 2016 Table of Contents Abstract iii Acknowledgements v Introduction 1 Virginia Woolf, Lynette Roberts and the Presence of the Past Part I: Landscape and Travel 1 Re-writing Romance in Virginia Woolf’s The Voyage Out 58 2 Travelling Medieval Cultures in the Poetry of Lynette Roberts 101 Part II: Re-enchanting Domestic Space 3 Mrs Dalloway, William Morris, and Medievalism: Crafting a ‘Room of 143 One’s Own in the Soul’ 4 ‘Earthbound’: Rootedness and Re-enactment in the Shadow of War 184 Part III: Language and Community 5 Anonymity, Culture and Community in Virginia Woolf’s Writing of the 223 1940s: The Fable of ‘Anon’ 6 ‘Unlocked the Padlocked Lungs’: the Idea of the Vernacular in the Writing 271 of Lynette Roberts Conclusion 320 Bibliography 334 ii Abstract This thesis starts from the premise that medievalism is an important yet under-recognised seam in British modernist culture. Untangling and examining the medieval threads that weave throughout the modern interest in the new, I supply an important link in the chain connecting modernism to postmodernism. Specifically, I consider medievalism through the lens of gender. Suggesting that women’s prolific engagement with medieval culture during the modernist period has been mysteriously neglected, I illuminate modernist women writers’ creative engagement with the Middle Ages by focusing on two writers in particular – Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) and Lynette Roberts (1909-1995).
