    This afternoon, our Year 3 children proudly performed in a fantastic Pbuzz Concert, celebrating everything they have learned over the past eight weeks.

    Led by Gareth from the Cardiff and Vale Music Service and funded by the Welsh Government, the Pbuzz project has given every child the opportunity to learn to play a brass instrument, develop their musical skills, build confidence and experience the joy of making music together.

The children were absolutely delighted to perform to such an enthusiastic and supportive audience, and they should all be incredibly proud of what they have achieved in such a short space of time.

  • Staying Safe Around Water

    Published 10/07/26

    On Thursday 9th July, our Year 4 and Year 5 pupils welcomed Cliff and Lindsey from Whitmore Bay Lifeguards for an engaging and informative assembly all about water safety.

    With the summer holidays fast approaching, this was a timely opportunity for children to learn how to stay safe around the coast, rivers and open water. The assembly covered important messages about recognising hazards, making safe choices and knowing what to do in an emergency.

    Our pupils impressed everyone with their excellent listening skills, thoughtful questions and their existing knowledge of water safety. It was wonderful to see them so engaged throughout the session.

    A huge thank you to Cliff and Lindsey for giving up their time to deliver such a valuable and memorable assembly. Their expertise and enthusiasm helped ensure that our children are better equipped to enjoy the summer safely.

    To make sure every child benefits from these important safety messages, the presentation will also be shared with the year groups who were unable to attend the assembly, allowing teachers to revisit the key learning in class.

    At Romilly, we are committed to helping children develop the knowledge and confidence they need to keep themselves and others safe—both in school and beyond.

  • Y4 Making a Difference for Our Environment

    Published 10/07/26

    As part of their learning about rivers, mountains and pollution, Year 4 were delighted to welcome Laura Harrison, Sophie's mum, into school to talk about Wales' new Deposit Return Scheme.

    The children learned how returning empty drinks containers can help reduce litter, protect our environment and encourage recycling. A special well done to Sophie, who confidently helped her mum deliver the presentation to the class.

    Inspired by what they had learned, a group of children then took the initiative to organise their own litter pick during break time. Without being asked, they collected litter from around the school grounds, showing fantastic teamwork, responsibility and pride in caring for their environment.

    We are incredibly proud of their actions. They demonstrated that even small acts can make a big difference and truly lived out our school motto of Learning, growing and succeeding together.

    🌱 Well done, Year 4!
