	Congratulations to Eliza for winning the St David Hospice competition today. Offices and staffrooms in North Wales will get posters to put up and instead of sending Christmas Cards Christmas wishes may be written on the 'Share a card' poster, featuring Eliza's Nativity Scene. Money that would have otherwise have been spent on Christmas cards can then be donated to this most worthy charity.

Thinking Skills Day

The Happy Puzzle Company visited the school and we had games and puzzles to solve.

The school and Clwb San Sior went halves and spent �800 on lots of challenging puzzles for the school

We have pledged support to Bryn Elian's Madagascar Project for 2008/09. We hope to help Bryn Elian by raising money so that a school in Madagascar can have an extension. It seems fitting that we are helping them with this project in the same year that our own school is having an extension to the hall.

While we have the luxury of amazing resources at our school we were moved by the talk and images that were shown to us by the Headteacher of Bryn Elian and Mr Crossland. There was even a photo of a chameleon and our chameleon eggs hatched this month.

Each day the children in the school in Madagascar had to walk 6 hours to get to the school. We are encouraging our children to walk part or all the way to school at least once a week. Each child that is taking part has been given a sticker book and will get a sticker each week they walk to school. After a month the books are checked and the children get a cool enamel badge.

Each child taking part has given �2 to the Madagascar appeal.

After waiting almost 6 months the chameleon eggs hatched today, 10th October. The chameleons are tiny and are perfect minatures of the adults. As you can see from the photograph the young chameleon would fit on a penny. The female had laid 48 eggs but some had been removed from the incubator as they had turned bad. The eggs had been kept at a constant temperature in an incubator in the school foyer on a bed of moist vermiculite.It is sad that the female who had laid the eggs had died. She had metabolic bone disease, this is when her body can't make enough calcium for strong bones. Mr Jones had to take her to the vets to be put down. She had laid the eggs behind the waterfall in her vivarium.

Friday	Saturday	Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Satuday	Sunday
1 hatched	2	3	5	5	3	2	5	5	2

The chameleons are sold in pet shops for �46 but we will be selling the at the school for �24. But please remember that there are other costs.... You will need a vivarium to keep your chameleon in. This should be a tall one as chameleons like to climb, then you need a special light that acts a bit like daylight so the chameleon can change the calcium that you dust their food with, to make strong bones; you will also need a heat source and a thermostat that will turn the heat on and off, otherwise the chameleon might overheat. Click on the care sheet below to learn what you need to buy and also how to care for your new chameleon. Altogether the whole set up will cost around �160.

Care sheet prepared by Year 6 coming soon!


Candling the egg by holding it to the light to see a baby chameleon inside	48 eggs were laid altogether and were incubated for almost 6 months	The chameleon was exhausted after getting out of the egg.......	.......but after a few minutes was active and moving around.


The father chameleon gets some attention. Is he looking for his babies?	Shhhhhhh..........minature chameleon sleeping on a vine.... (2cm long)


Chameleon hatching. Only the head has come out of the egg. The egg, that had swollen, is now crumpled up. The chameleon's eyes are tightly shut, but the skin is so thin you can see the eye through the lower eye lid.

A day of art, that's what we had today!

National Welsh Week Fortnight started at San Sior today with a visit from the Chef from The Imperial Hotel. She told us about the history of bread and different types of bread. She also told us how green the hotel is. They use green electricity, 9that's electricity from renewable sources) also energy light bulbs and they recycle paper, water, cardboard, plastic ,tins and even the cooking oils! They also told us that they are also level 2 of Green Dragon Environmental Standard Achievers. Then we started to make the bread.

Mrs Williams gave us all a piece of fresh dough and we started to kneed . Then we had to roll it like a sausage after we had done that we made the dough into a ball and made a claw like shape with our hands and moved it in a circular motion and it made a perfect roll. Then we flattened it and rolled it into a sausage and pulled the right side down and crossed the left side over then tucked it under the top. It looked like a big cross. Then we made more this time with herbs and onions they tasted lovely.

READY STEADY COOK!

Giant Chess for Playtimes

"We have a GIANT CHESS game. Would your school like it?"

"YES PLEASE!"

And so Monday morning found our class walking to the West Shore to pick up the giant chess pieces. Playtime will never be the same again! We already have magnetic chess boards on the sides of the school but this is something else! Thank you so much to Mr & Mrs S............. for their generosity.
