LEWIS SCHOOL PENGAM • NEWSLETTER • CHRISTMAS 2011 1WELSH 3-PEAKS
In April several members of staff came
up with the idea of walking the Welsh 3
Peaks to raise some money for the charity
Help 4 Heroes and Macmillan.
The date was set for 25th June: Miss
Owen, Miss Elliot, Mr Richards, Mr
Thomas and me, Mr Blackford, went home
after school on Friday 24th, packed our
rucksacks and left partners with the
immortal phrase, “I’m just going out I may
be some time…” together we headed
North for the 4 hour drive to Nant Peris
at the foot of Snowdon.
The group were full of energy at 3am the
following morning. After a brief
breakfast of coffee and chocolate, at
4am the group started walking.
It was a typical Summer morning on
Snowdon with visibility at 50ft and
driving horizontal rain but after 4½ hours
the group were back in the car park
having successfully completed the 3560ft
climb and 10 mile round trip. But, Miss
Owen had picked up an injury.
Next: Cadair Idris. This was the worst
one. The weather had cleared up earlier
but now rain had returned with a
vengeance. Visibility dropped even further
and it rained for the entire 2930ft
ascent and descent. After a mere 3½
hours we were back in the cars and ready
for the off.
The drive to Pen-y-fan was done in
glorious sunshine, but when we arrived it
was raining.
Nearing the end and we were a little
tired; Miss Owen’s injury was now giving
her quite a lot of trouble, her ankle had
seized up during the drive South. Despite
this, we set off with high spirits.
After only 2 hours we were back in the
car park. We had done it.

ANTI BULLYING! 2011 WINTER
The Astronomy club has recently gained access to a robotic telescope on the island
of La Palma and the pupils have begun to use this resource very effectively. Jordan
Jones (Year 8) has set himself the task of mapping the Moon in detail using this
telescope. So far he has a quarter of the Moon mapped and the level of detail can
be seen in his pictures.
Anti-Bullying week took place from
the 14th November and the theme
this year was ‘Stop and think –words
can hurt’.
While undertaking this task he has also managed to snap the elusive Red PlanetIn their pastoral lessons Year 9
Mars! And the Little Dumbbell Nebula m76!have worked on understanding what
bullying is and the devastating
effects it can have on young people’s
lives.
We have also learned that there are
many different types of bullying and
what to do if you know someone who
is being bullied.
Using words and language to bully
people is emotional abuse. If you are
being called names it can make you
feel scared, lonely and sad.

LEWIS SCHOOL PENGAM • NEWSLETTER • CHRISTMAS 2011 3YEAR 9 CAREERS CONVENTION
On Wednesday 9th November Year 9 visited Llancaiach Fawr to attend a Careers Convention held by Caerphilly Education
Authority. The purpose of the trip was to let them experience a range of different activities and interests to help them in
choosing their options.
There was loads on offer and it was fantastic to see how the boys responded and got involved in everything from making bird
boxes, practising paint techniques like rag-rolling and learning the correct way to build a wall.
As we moved between the halls we were then faced with the delicious smell of freshly cooked Welsh cakes and the
opportunity to get creative by decorating cup cakes, embellishing false nails and using straighteners to curl hair.
The organisers on the day remarked how well behaved our boys were and that they
had done us proud. Well done Year 9.
MUMS AND DADS DO MATHS
Fun was had by all at a recent maths
workshop held at the school on 15th
Nov. Parents had the chance to try
their skills at the new ‘Singapore
