Years 3 and 4 have had visitors from Betley Primary school in England. Pupils have been e-mailing and writing for a long time and decided to meet. They went for a walk in their wellies to Porth y Garran. Everyone teamed together to work on the beach. Curtis and Jack gave their pen pals a little gift to remember their visit to Wales. Lewis said “They were very nice people and I hope to see my pen pal again in the future, I really want to go to their school to see what it looks like.”
Soon Ysgol Rhoscolyn will launch its very own maze! It is not in use at the moment because the older children are a bit too tall and can easily find the exit but the little ones will most probably get lost! It is a big achievement for the school as the gardens are a huge success and the children enjoy playing in them. The maze was cut not that long ago and all that stands in the way of using it is the height of the grass as it is not quite long enough and the big children should be able to get lost not just the little ones. The school has improved since the trees were planted and fences put up and grass paths been cut - everybody has been keen to use them.

Great news at Ysgol Rhoscolyn! The seaside garden is finally finished. It has taken a while but it has actually created a really good seaside affect, with the lifebelts and boats and a beach hut. The garden army, with help from the children has made it become an area of relaxation and joy as miniature pirates will sail across the stones and take treasure for themselves, or relax in the shade of the beach hut and just chatter about things.
As the Red Arrows prepare for their forthcoming performance, Ysgol Rhoscolyn were delighted to catch a sneak preview as the Arrows rehearsed their spectacular display above the school fileds. It was an amazing sight as colours poured out into the sky from their dare-devil stunts. No-one knew what to expect next from the formation, as pupils and teachers stood in awe of the pilots' skill. Everyone cheered, thinking they were brave, crossing over and rotating in circles, with their trailing clouds of colourful smoke. As the Arrows flew back to land, their colours faded into the sky, the performance had come to an end. Well done, Red Arrows, please come back!

The decision to go forward with the gardens - was it a good one or a bad one? As they're taking up space on the field for playing on - they're taking up that space to improve school wildlife and invite different species of bird and butterfly, making the school greener. Also educating the students in gardening and nature and wildlife. The more wildlife that's in the school the nicer it looks. Also it's healthy as you can grow plants or herbs that can be cooked and served in school dinners and making the school healthy and a nice place to work play and enjoy. As the school gardens are for playing in and relaxing there's also the badger trail going from the rock around the field - so what's is it doing there? And why is it coming here? Is it because we're attracting them here from the gardens? Or is it smaller creatures are coming here and the badgers can't resist it.

After a whole day of cricket at Penhros cricket ground Ysgol Rhoscolyn came out on top with Ysgol Tywyn closely behind.
Rhoscolyn’s day started differently as Ysgol Thomos Ellis arrived late and because of the late start Rhoscolyn’s schedule was very tightly packed! They beat the favourites Kingsland and then beat Tywyn who had also played three and won three in a tightly fought game of cricket. Finally they beat indoor champions Llanfawr to put themselves on top. In the first match Ben hit three fours in three balls and captain Guto D two sixes in two balls! Kyler hit the first four behind the wicket keeper to set Rhoscolyn’s tournament off to a flier. Ysgol Rhoscolyn finished on twenty points with Ysgol Tywyn closely behind on eighteen points. Ysgol Rhoscolyn will go to Aberystwyth in an attempt to win and get to the test ground Headingly and become the champions of Britain!!! It is possible but very, very difficult as all of the best teams in Wales will be at Aberystwyth and all the best teams in Britain will be at Headingly!!! Rhoscolyn will also find it hard to beat last years winners Kingsland’s performance as they came third at Aberystwyth!!
“ If Kingsland got third last year we beat them in the Anglesey tournament we have got a strong chance of getting to Headingly this year.” said Rhoscolyn team member Kyler when asked to comment.
We also must remember that Rhoscolyn have three players for Anglesey (Aron P, Mattew J and Guto D), Two players for Eryri (Mattew J and Guto D) and one player for Wales (Mattew J).
Best of luck Rhoscolyn!

Rhoscolyn cricket team makes the school proud by earning their prize. They beat Ysgol Tomos Ellis, Kingsland, Valley, Tywyn and Llanfawr. They played a great match and won the trophy by 2 points.
One of Llanfawr members injured themselves by diving for the ball and hurting their back, he could not play the rest of the match but he still got up and cheered his team along.
Rhoscolyn cricket team was very proud with themselves for beating all the school’s that were there, one team member was so proud she would not stop squeaking all the way home.
Everyone played a great game. When they found out they won they screamed with joy well at least the girls did any way. Guto went to collect the team’s trophy and he smiled for the camera.
After the trophy was collected the winning team posed for the camera and everyone went home with a smile on their faces!!!
