Hwyl yr Wŷl !

Ar y 22ain o Dachwedd, fel rhan o weithgareddau pontio'r ysgol cafodd rai o ddisgyblion Iaith Gyntaf Blwyddyn 6 y cylch wahoddiad i fynychu bore o weithgareddau yn Ysgol Gyfun Treorci. Cafodd y disgyblion hwyl yn ymarfer eu doniau dramatig yn ogystal â chyfle i fwynhau cystadlu yn erbyn ei gilydd yn ystod gwers chwaraeon.

Yn y prynhawn ymunodd disgyblion Iaith Gyntaf Blwyddyn 8 â'r disgyblion cynradd er mwyn mynd i wylio Panto “Jac a’r goeden ffa” yn theatr y Muni ym Mhontypridd.

Martyn Geraint oedd seren y sioe ac roedd y disgyblion i gyd yn llawn cyffro a bwrlwm wrth wylio’r cymeriadau yn perfformio ar lwyfan y Muni. Bu’r disgyblion a’r staff yn canu ac yn dawnsio a oedd yn sicrhau bod pawb wedi eu hudo gan hwyl ŵyl y Nadolig, (er mai ond mis Tachwedd oedd hi!)

Mwynheuodd pawb y daith ac edrychwn ymlaen at y sioe nesaf.

On the 22^nd of November, as part of the school's transition activities, some Welsh Language pupils from year 6 were invited to enjoy a morning of activities at Treorchy Comprehensive School. The pupils had fun competing against each other in various sporting tasks, and they got the opportunity to show off their acting skills during a Drama workshop.

In the afternoon they were joined by First Language pupils from Year 8 to visit the Muni theatre in Pontypridd to see the Welsh Panto 'Jac a'r goeden ffa’.

Martyn Geraint was the star of the show and the pupils and staff enjoyed watching the characters on stage, whilst taking part in the singing and dancing. By the end of the day everyone was excited and looking forward to Christmas (Even though it was only November!).

We look forward to the next show.

Treorchy Cadets win Silver at first attempt

Competing for the 1^st time in the Cadet Cambrian Patrol Competition, held on the 18^th & 19^th September, the Treorchy Comprehensive School CCF team were awarded a silver medal.

The competition is open to cadets from all over Wales, and is a true test of physical and mental endurance. The cadets work as a team to navigate a route of approximately 22 km, via a series of checkpoints, where they are tested on various aspects of the Cadet syllabus, including 1^st Aid, field craft and map reading.

The Treorchy Comprehensive School team were the highest scoring junior team from a CCF, beating more established CCF’s in private schools. The patrol commander was Cadet Sgt Catherine Lumby, who despite sustaining an injury early into the competition continued to lead her team, knowing that if she dropped out the team would lose points.

The whole team were extremely tired at the prize giving on Sunday afternoon, but can be very proud of their efforts and the Silver medals that they were awarded.

Uncovering Chemical Secrets

On Wednesday the 15^th of September a number of our Chemistry A level class attended a course at the University of Wales, Cardiff. The title of the course was ‘Uncovering chemical secrets’ and the pupils certainly did this! The day consisted of a morning lecture on chemical synthesis, an opportunity to complete a number of exciting experiments in the university laboratory and a tour of the Chemistry department where a number of expensive analytical machines and techniques were explained in detail.

The students thoroughly enjoyed the day and found it extremely useful as it covered a number of topics that they will be examined on in January as part of their A level qualification. It also gave the students a taste of university life, which hopefully they will experience next year when they leave Treorchy Comprehensive and embark on their future careers!

Outstanding Performances by our Dancers

Congratulations to the dancers from Year 9, 10, 11,12 & 13 for giving outstanding and professional performances at the Skills Cymru Conference held at the Millennium Stadium on the 16th & 17th September. All groups were invited to perform to an audience of students, teachers and exhibiters from across Wales and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Each performance was shown on the large screens in the Stadium throughout the day and footage was later shown on the ITV news.
