In October we went to the Mitchell hamer in Kington. The school played 5 football games. The results were we drew 0-0 in three games and we won two games 2-0 and 9-0. Even though we didn’t let in a goal, we missed out on the semi final by 1 point. We were very pleased with our performance and the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

In October we completed 7 computer games with Irfon Valley CP School. These games have different levels and we completed the following SC to make sure they were going to be enjoyed by children in Irfon Valley.
– -Does your computer game have Tutorials?
-What makes games fun?
-Has your game got good graphics?
-Does it have an interesting story?
-Does your game have interesting characters and nice music to make it enjoyable?
-Does your game have interesting and fun noises in the game play?
-Is the game is too hard? If so your target audience might become frustrated with it and give up.
-Is a game is too easy? If so your target audience might finish it too quickly and find it boring.
Games need to balance these two extremes.
-has it got levels?
-Does your game give the player feedback?
-Has your computer got a Welsh element?
Is your computer game accurate and topic based?
Here is the link to see what the games are like.

Brook and Border
On October the 5th Radnor Valley CP school held their annual football and netball competition the ‘Brook and Border’ this year the event was unique in that it had 3 school clusters competing, from John Beddoes, Builth and Lady Hawkins. The tournament was a great success and saw over 100 children competing on the day, with great support from the local school and community. The netball and football was played in the right manner. The netball final was between Gladestry and Pembridge, with Pembridge being the overall winners. The football final was between Irfon Valley and Kington, eventually seeing Kington become overall winners. The games were refereed and umpired by students from Lady Hawkins High School, and overseen by the John Beddoes 5×60 officer Jody Owen.
In addition, their were players of the tournament, these were selected by referees and umpires on a criteria which included; skill level, determination, gamesmanship, attitude, and general conduct on and off the pitches. The tournament was a great success with plans to make the tournament even bigger next year.
Llancaiach Fawr Manor
Children visited Llancaiach Fawr mansion this week. Children had a two hour tour around the manor meeting 3 servants of the manor. Children visited the base chambers, kitchen, great hall, withdrawing chamber, master bedroom, guest bedroom and armoury room. Children also met a dairy maid, scrivener and Steffan Mathews the surveyor. Each character gave lots of detail on their job roles, history of the house and each room and answered any questions that the children had for them.
