City set to embark on their Premier dream
CARDIFF Council is getting
behind Cardiff City FC as the
club prepares for life in the
Premier League.
With Cardiff due to play
their first matches away at
West Ham and then home to
Manchester City this month,
the city is getting ready for
the start of what promises to
be an exciting journey.
The club’s promotion to
the Premier League is great
news for the whole city as it
has been estimated that in
having a Premier League club,
Cardiff will reap important
economic benefits.
It is expected that Cardiff
City’s success will create
hundreds, if not thousands, of
new jobs, strengthen the
visitor
economy
and
showcase the city to a global
television audience.
Cardiff
Council
is
particularly delighted at the
club’s promotion as it was the
Council, in 2003, who worked
in partnership with the club to
put in place the vision for the
new City Stadium at Leckwith.
Cardiff Council Leader,
Heather Joyce, said: "Like
most people across the city, I
am incredibly proud of what
Cardiff City has achieved and
can’t wait for the new season
to begin.
“The administration has
been working closely with the
club to understand all the
opportunities that Premier
League football will give to
the city and we are all very
excited about the potential
that lies ahead.
“Over the next nine
months, we will also be
welcoming thousands of fans
to our city, many of whom will
not have been to Cardiff
before. I know that being in
the Premier League is going
to give us the opportunity to
showcase our marvellous city
to a global audience – and
that is another very exciting
prospect.”
She
added:
"Having
Premier League football in
Cardiff is vitally important for
this city. As a capital, we're
used to hosting major events
but Premier League football
has been the missing piece in
our sporting jigsaw so it is
really thrilling that Cardiff will
now be able to host some of
the biggest names in world
football such as Manchester
United,
Chelsea
and
Liverpool. Let’s get behind the
team and enjoy the season
ahead.”

EACH day starts at around
7.30am when I come in
and set up the front desk in
reception, check emails,
reply and find out about
meetings that will be
taking place here at
County Hall that day. Then
we get ready for the
members of the public who
will be coming to County
Hall with their business,
problems and requests.
Requests can range from
funny to the very strange –
I once had a chap come in
asking for a divorce and I
had to explain to him that
we don’t do that here!
Another time, a gentleman
came in with an injured
seagull in the back of his
car - he’d driven to County
Hall to ask what he should
do. I rang the RSPB and
they came along to collect
the bird.
We have a lot of people
coming in who aren’t
really sure who they need
to speak to so we have to
direct them on to the right
people. Our tool is
information, knowing how
to direct enquiries and if
we don’t know the answer
to a query, we have to find
out. We always get by with
a little help from our
friends at County Hall.
Sometimes, people can
be angry when they come
in but we don’t take it
personally. We understand
that people can be upset
about problems they face
so we listen, try to help and
put them in touch with the
right person. Nine times
out of ten, they go away
thanking you for your help
because they’ve got their
problem solved.
With 1,800 officers in
the building, I like to greet
as many of them as I can
every morning on their way
in to work and on their way
home in the evening. It’s
good to be friendly and
make people welcome
here.
We have famous faces
through the doors as well
from time to time. Cardiff
City manager Malky
McKay has been here
among many others –
you’d be surprised who we
see in reception.
I finish work around
5pm when security takes
over on the front desk. I’ve
been in this role for around
seven years but in total,
I’ve worked for the Council
for more than 20 years. I
used to be a landscaper
but I was redeployed here
which was quite a change
after working outside for
most of my life.
The best part of the job
is meeting people. Officers
are friendly, we have a
chat, talk about our friends
and families and I do feel
that we are one big family
at County Hall.
Cabinet changes announced
THE Labour administration
has increased the size of its
Cabinet to help it manage
the future of council services.
Council Leader, Councillor
Heather Joyce, said: “In the
current climate of austerity,
Councils across the UK are
having to look for creative
solutions to maintain council
services.
“Every area across the
council will have to seriously
consider alternative ways of
delivering
services
and
Cabinet members must have
time to focus on all the
options available in order to
best protect services and
jobs.
“I have therefore decided
to make changes to the
composition of my Cabinet to
help address these changing
circumstances. I have also
made revisions to individual
portfolio responsibilities in an
attempt to improve service
delivery.”
Councillors Luke Holland
and Richard Cook have left
the cabinet and under the
changes Councillors Siobhan
Corria, Graham Hinchey and
Ramesh Patel have been
invited to join.
The new cabinet is now as
follows:
Councillor Heather Joyce
(Leader); Councillor Ralph
Cook
(Deputy
Leader);
Councillor Siobhan Corria
(Children’s Social Services);
Councillor Russell Goodway
(Finance and Economic
Development);

Lifelong Learning); Councillor
Ramesh Patel (Sport, Leisure
and Culture); Councillor Huw

Enjoy the sunshine at
Cardiff Bay Beach
CARDIFF’S very own beach
has been brought in for the
summer.
Based at Roald Dahl Plass
in Cardiff Bay, the beach is
made up of 300 tonnes of
sand, 9,000 gallons of water
for the paddling pool and
15km of decking for the bar
area.
The privately financed
attraction has already been
successfully developed in
other cities including Paris,
Amsterdam,
Brussels,
Dublin,
London,
Birmingham, Nottingham
and Liverpool.
The beach will be free to
access and open until 1
September providing a
great day out for families
over the summer holidays.

Sustrans award
for Gabalfa
Primary
GABALFA Primary School
has celebrated becoming
the first school in Cardiff to
gain the Silver Sustrans
School Mark award.
Pupils and staff have
worked hard to increase the
number of pupils walking,
cycling and scooting to
school with regular events
such a cycle breakfasts,
picnics, competitions and
events.
Members of the school’s
Bike It Crew have given
motivational talks to pupils,
parents and staff to
encourage them to think
about sustainable methods
of
transport
in
the
community.
Final two bidders selected for
landmark organic waste project
THE process to appoint a
company to develop an organic
waste solution for Cardiff and the
Vale of Glamorgan is gathering
pace.
Two companies - Kelda Organic
Energy Ltd and Shanks Waste
Management Ltd – have been
selected to develop proposals for
the most sustainable and value
3
calibre with solid experience in
this field and have come through
a rigorous procurement process.
‘We are now close to selecting
a sustainable organic waste
solution that will transform the
way we treat the food waste we
all produce into energy and
fertiliser whilst providing excellent
value for money for our residents.”
He added: “We are working
hard to ensure everyone properly
recycles as much of their food
waste as possible with this
administration delivering on its
commitment to the One Planet
Cardiff Vision with tangible action
and state-of-the-art technology
the city can be proud of.”
This local and sustainable
solution will replace existing
temporary contracts and is
expected
to
contribute
significantly to Cardiff's waste,
recycling, composting and carbon
reduction targets by diverting
more and more waste away from
landfill.
The scheme also has the
potential to generate energy
while producing compost and
making organic fertiliser for the
agricultural sector, with the
technology adopted by the
preferred bidder helping to reduce
the city's carbon footprint.

Gabalfa interchange pilot works underway
A
programme
of
improvements works has
begun at the Gabalfa
Interchange. The aim of the
scheme is to improve the
road layout and to make the
roundabout safer for road
users.
Cabinet Member for
Strategic Planning and
Transport,
Councillor
Graham Hinchey, said: “The
works at Gabalfa are much
needed. This particular
roundabout has suffered
from a number of accidents,
including a fatality and there
is a real need to introduce
new
traffic
calming
measures, including speed
reduction.”
The
works
will
be
undertaken in three separate
pilot stages and, subject to
the
success
of
the
experiment, the concluding
stage
will
be
the
introduction of the final
scheme
layout
in
a
permanent form.
The stages will be as
follows:
Pilot Stage 1 - Implement
temporary 30mph speed
limits. Install temporary
mandatory 30mph signs and
advisory 20mph signs. A
widening of the road on
three corners so that there is
space for larger vehicles.
Create a dedicated left turn
lane at the northwest corner
(A48 to A470).
Pilot
Stage
2
–
Approximately three to four
weeks after pilot stage 1 is
completed, and subject to
the findings of the stage 1
create
a
experiment,
dedicated left turn lane at
the northeast corner (A470
to A48).
Pilot
Stage
3
Approximately three to four
weeks after pilot stage 2 is
completed, and subject to
the findings of the stage 1
and 2 experiments, create a
dedicated left turn lane at
the southwest corner (A470
to A48), and a dedicated left
exit from the roundabout,
southbound onto North
Road (A470). Alterations will
be made to the bus/traffic
priority next to the bus-stops
on the south-west access
from North Road onto the
roundabout.
Final Stage – subject to the
successful outcome of the
above three pilot stages, and
the confirmation of the
permanent
Traffic
Regulation
Orders,
implementation of the
permanent works in the form
of permanent lines and signs
and permanent 30mph
speed limits and advisory
20mph limits can go ahead.

Woodlands student’s sign-language success
Biodiversity is all living things. It provides us with food, clothing,
medicine, building materials and fuel. It helps reduce stress and aids
relaxation. Each month Cardiff Council ecologist Matthew Harris will
point out some of the great biodiversity you can see across the city.

A student from Woodlands
High School in Ely is one step
closer to achieving her dream
of becoming a British Sign
Language teacher.
Annmarie Pocknell, 18, has
attended Woodlands, a
school for pupils with
moderate to severe learning
needs, since the age of 11.
From a young age
Annmarie has had an
ambition to work in a school
and support students with
hearing impairments. She
spent time learning and
copying staff at Woodlands
and joined the school signing
club to learn more signs.
Following
a
work
experience placement at
Coed Glas Primary in
Llanishen, and with one year
left at school, Annmarie
began to consider her future.
With support from staff at
• Lisa Purcell and Annmarie Pocknell
Woodlands,
Annmarie
enrolled on a British Sign
Language Course at the
Howardian
Centre
in
Penylan.
In order to complete the
course, Annmarie travelled by
bus from Howardian every
lunch time for two weeks to
get back to school in time for
afternoon lessons. She was
the youngest student on the
intensive course and was
commended by her course
tutor
who
wrote
to
Woodlands to say she was a
credit to the school.
Annmarie said: “I enjoy
signing and ever since I was
little I have wanted to
become a sign language
teaching assistant. The
course was brilliant, I loved
it.”
Annmarie’s
tutor
at
Woodlands, Lisa Purcell said:
“We are so proud of
Annmarie
for
this
achievement because she
has been determined to
succeed in her goal and has
persevered even though it
was extremely difficult.
Annmarie has shown what is
possible to achieve if you set
your heart on something and
stick to it.
“She is a fantastic young
lady with a huge amount of
skills she can offer an
employer. We really hope
that after leaving school and
college Annmarie will be able
to find employment in a
school helping students with
hearing impairments. “
Biodiversity is all living things. It
provides us with food, clothing,
medicine, building materials and
fuel. It helps reduce stress and
aids relaxation. Each month
ecologist Matthew Harris will
point out some of the great
biodiversity you can see across
the city.
September ushers in the
autumn months and brings with
it an abundance of blackberries,
rosehips, sloes, haws and
elderberries. Whilst these might
provide a treat for our jams, tarts
and winemaking, they are
essentials for a host of wildlife
preparing for the coming winter.
Many of these fruiting species
are associated with scrub
habitats which form the
transition between woodland,
and shorter vegetation such as
grassland.
Often maligned by people
because of its association with
dereliction, abandonment or lack
of management, scrub provides
food and shelter for a wealth of
wildlife.
The complex mosaic of
structure and species supports
nesting birds and feeding insects,
whilst the edge between scrub
and more open habitats is a
great place to sport basking
reptiles. Where scrub softens the
woodland edge, dormice,
seeking to fatten up for long
winter sleep ahead, feast on the
nuts, seeds and berries that
autumn provides.
I’ll be back next month with
more biodiversity attractions.

Bute Park’s new
children’s play trail is
proving a summer hit
UPSIDE down trees, fallen
logs, stepping posts and a
long winding snake called
Barbara - these are among
the latest additions to Bute
Park’s new children’s play
features.
The new play apparatus is
proving to be a great free
family activity over the
summer break. It has been
installed as part of the wider
Bute
Park
Restoration
Project, which is supported
by a £3.1m grant from the
Heritage Lottery Fund.
The 11 new outdoor items
create an exciting and fun
woodland balance trail for
youngsters to play on and
enjoy. They are situated
within the woodland behind
the Summerhouse Café,
which is one of the most
popular areas of the park for
families.
The pieces are in keeping
with other natural play items
which have recently been
positioned
in
several
locations around the park.
They include larger than life
carvings and sculptures
which depict elements of
wildlife and the site’s
history, which encourage
children to play, inquire and
explore.
Cabinet Member for Sport,
Leisure
and
Culture,
Councillor Ramesh Patel
said: “The new balance trail
is another welcome addition
to Bute Park, which following
investment in new features
and facilities is now a great
day out for all the family.
“In keeping with the
and
environment
surroundings
the
new
natural play features are a
fun and exciting way for
children to interact and
discover nature. They invite
imagination-led play in a
healthy
outdoor
environment and have been
robustly made and installed
so that families can enjoy
them throughout the year.”
Bute Park becomes a ‘Living Classroom’
CHILDREN from Stacey
Primary School in Roath
were among the first to
benefit
from
a
new
initiative to use the Bute
Park Education Centre as a
RSPB Living Classroom.
The joint RSPB Cymru and
Cardiff Council initiative
started in May this year
with the aim of connecting
more city children to the

wildlife on their doorstep.
Michelle Marshall, a
teacher at Stacey Primary
School, said: “The children
were asked to use all their
senses to learn about the
natural world. From hunting
for mini-beasts, dipping for
pond life and tracking signs
of
wildlife
and
environmental change –
they had such an amazing
time and learnt so much. I
was surprised at how many
different habitats they
could explore within the
park.
“The fact the Bute Park
Education Centre is so
accessible in the city centre
makes it really convenient
and the RSPB staff were
very knowledgeable and
professional.”
At
RSPB
Living
Classrooms,
high-skilled
field teachers work with
schools and informal youth
groups, and use a range of
fun
and

techniques to engage and
connect young people with

Badge of honour
LLANRUMNEY and Rumney
pupils have helped design the
badge for their new school.
Following a decision from the
Welsh Government, Llanrumney
High School closed its doors for
the last time at the end of the
summer term, with its pupils set
to join Rumney schoolchildren
at Eastern High school from
September.
In June, a ballot was carried
out asking all pupils from year 6
onwards (around 1,500 pupils)
to choose their favourite badge
out of the final three options.
It generated a lot of debate and
fun amongst the pupils, with 65
per cent of the pupils choosing
the winning badge (pictured).
Every pupil will proudly
display the badge on their blazer
and tie from the start of
September.
Councillor Heather Joyce, Leader
of Cardiff Council, said: “The
history and community around
Llanrumney High are very dear
to me. The school gave four of
my grandchildren a great start
in life and I cherish those
memories.
“Giving pupils the chance to
have their say on the new
uniform has allowed them to
have some ownership of and
influence over aspects of the
changes taking place and it has
been great to witness the
children of both communities
mixing well and working
together to plan for the future.”
Rumney High School will
technically close in August 2014.
The new Eastern High school
will be formally established from
September 2014, initially on the
Rumney site until new school
buildings on a suitable site can
be built. It is hoped the brand
new school with post-16
provision will open in September
2016 on its permanent site.
Councillor Joyce added:
“Providing our young people
with the best possible start in life
is extremely important to me
and my cabinet and I am
pleased to say the future looks
very bright and seeing the future
generations of this city develop
and flourish even further
because of these changes will be
very special indeed."

over the years, the school put
on its final performance,
‘Musical Mash Up’ featuring
music from previous years’
shows, including We Will
Rock You, Hairspray, Grease,
Bugsy Malone and many
others including, Mamma
Mia, Lion King and Les
Miserables.
Directed by Emma Pawsey
who led music at the school,
pupils from Years 7 to 10
performed at the show which
was one of a number of
events held to celebrate the
school’s 56 year history.
Pupils, staff and members
of the community enjoyed a
special open day when they
had the chance to view old
photos and memorabilia as
well as take one final walk
around the school. And
former and current staff
came together at a barbecue
at Peterstone Lakes Golf Club
for an evening of memories
and entertainment.
The school closes following
the Welsh Government
Education
Minister’s
decision to accelerate its
closure in August this year
and the council’s plan to
transfer all pupils from
Llanrumney High School to
the Rumney High site from
September, with a new
school name and significant
investment
in
school
buildings.
Rumney High School will
technically close in August
2014. The new Eastern High
school will be formally
established from September
2014, initially on the
Rumney site until a new
school building on a suitable
site can be built.

Food festival is simply delicious
A feast full of entertainment was
certainly delivered by the Cardiff
International Food and Drink Festival
last month. Many took advantage of
the glorious sunshine, with a record
60,000 visitors in attendance across
the three days, the highest figure
since the event began in
1998. With a variety of food
producers and free live music the
event once again proved to be a big
hit with residents and visitors.
Young designers turn back
the clock to tell the Story
THE Cardiff Story Museum has
been inundated with colourful
designs from young artists after
running a special poster
competition.
Children were asked to design
a poster that would help
publicise the Cardiff Story
Museum as a great free family
day out during the school
summer holidays.
It was a difficult decision but
Nathan Morris, 10, was chosen
as the eventual winner.
Janey Howell, a member of
the museum’s Development
Trust and competition judge,
said: “We were looking for a
really eye-catching design. It was
really difficult to choose the
winner, but Nathan has done a
fantastic job, portraying the
themes of time travel and
investigating the past. It’s clear
that a lot of effort went into his
design.”
Nathan’s design features a
time machine with a backwards
clock. It also has key elements
that feature at the Cardiff Story
Museum including a young
evacuee and a boat to signify
migration.
Nathan’s design will now be
placed onto a poster which will
appear across the city to
promote the Cardiff Story
Museum.

Can you help the Council find homes for people in need?
CARDIFF Council is asking
private sector landlords what
support they can provide to find
homes for people in need in the
city.
A consultation event has
taken place with landlords to
understand the barriers that
currently exist within this sector
and explore the ways they can
be overcome.
With
the
challenging
economic climate, the Council
has seen an increase in demand
for housing services. Private
rented accommodation plays a
very important role in Cardiff’s
housing stock and the Council is
committed to continue to work
with landlords to offer the
support and guidance they need.
There
are
often
misconceptions about those
who claim benefit. People can
come into difficulties during their
lifetime by losing their job, or
other changes in circumstances,
and rely on the Council to help
them through their difficult
times.
Councillor Lynda Thorne,
Cabinet Member for Housing,
Communities and Social Justice,
said: “The Council would like to
see
private
rented
accommodation in the city fully
utilised and we are very keen to
hear from landlords who would
like to work with us to help those
that are less fortunate than
ourselves.
“The Council does offer a
variety of support services to
help both tenants and landlords.
I would like to thank all the
landlords working with us
already - you make a real
difference.”
• If you are a private sector
landlord and would like to make
inquiries please contact Private
Rented Sector Team at the
Housing Options Service on
02920 570750 or email

f.gov.uk
were Alisha Khan and Emma
Reavell, both aged 10.
Cabinet Member for Sport,
Leisure and Culture, Councillor
Ramesh
Patel
said:
“Congratulations to Nathan; his
design was fantastic in capturing
exactly what the Cardiff Story
Museum is about, helping to
showcase the history of our
great city. I was impressed by
the use of the backwards clock
which is a great design feature to
indicate going back in time. I am
sure his poster will help to
capture the imagination of
children and encourage them to
visit the Cardiff Story Museum.”
He added: “I would urge
anyone who hasn’t been to the
Cardiff Story yet to pay a visit not only is it great fun but entry
is free.
“The summer holidays look
especially exciting at the
museum with some great extra
events, including story time
sessions, craft activities, detective
trails and lots more taking place.”

Residents celebrate new bridge opening
A bridge linking the Llandaff
North, Llandaff and Radyr
communities
has
been
officially opened.
The Loop Bridge now links the
two sides of the River Taff
allowing for more accessible
and
cycling
walking
opportunities, a key link to the
Taff Trail for the local and wider
communities of Cardiff.
The work which began in
October 2012, involved the
refurbishment of the old
railway bridge deck; the
removal of the existing
cantilevered
walkways,
parapets and stone ballast;
steelwork repair; surface
preparation; repainting and a
new bridge deck surface and
drainage system.
Historically the bridge
provided a bypass loop from
the former Radyr marshalling
yard on to the Taff Valley
Railway at Llandaff Station.
The bridge played an
important role for industries in
the Glamorgan Valleys as it
provided a link for distributing
coal and freight.
The bridge is named as
‘Loop Bridge' to remember the
great impact it had on the
industrial heritage of the area
and to reflect the new circular
walk it creates for the residents
and park users.

has given the area a new lease
of life and improved access
between
the
Cardiff
communities of Llandaff,
Llandaff North and Radyr.”
Councillor Graham Hinchey,
Cabinet Member for Strategic
Planning and Transport, said:
“This was a substantial project
which has helped to make an
already popular part of Cardiff
even more attractive for
residents in this area as well as
the many cyclists, walkers and
runners who use the park and
Taff Trail. Access to and from
Radyr and Llandaff North has
also been greatly enhanced for
residents in this area.
“Well done to all the
dedicated officers, councillors
and partners who have worked
hard to make sure the work was
completed on time, and to a
high quality. I hope the
opening of the bridge
encourages more people to visit
Hailey Park and explore the Taff
Trail.”

THE prize-giving ceremony of the
fourth Cardiff-Stuttgart Prize for
schools for the best German
essay has taken place.
The ceremony is put on each
year by the Cardiff-Stuttgart
Association who have been
promoting
the
German
language in schools and colleges
through this essay-writing
competition.
With the Olympics still fresh in
the mind, this years' essay was
all about sport.
The 13 participants, all A-level
students from two Cardiff
schools were asked to write
about their favourite sport (or
mein lieblingssport in German).
This year’s winner was Nikita
Chawathe from Howells School
who received a cheque for £100.
The two runner-ups were Lara
Durani from Glantaf High School
and Zoe Hall, also from Howells
who each received £50.
The ceremony was held at
County Hall and attended by
Cardiff's Lord Mayor, Councillor
Derrick Morgan.
He said: "This prize giving
ceremony has become an
annual event which is to be
celebrated as it promotes
students’ interest in foreign
languages. The Cardiff-StuttgartAssociation
continues
to
motivate students to study
German and I would like to
congratulate all the students
that have done so well in this
competition."
A jury of native German
speakers had the difficult task of
selecting the winning essay. Two
of the jury members are former
presidents of the Association.
They are Ilse Fisher and
Johannes Gramich, as well as the
German Honorary Consul Mrs
Helga Rother-Simmonds.
The
Cardiff-Stuttgart
Association is not only a city
twinning organisation with links
to Stuttgart, it also functions as
a meeting place for people who
are interested in the language
and culture of the German
speaking peoples.
The meetings take place
monthly at City Hall with talks
and discussions held in German.
New members, students and
visitors are always welcome. For

Live N’ Cooking Final
BISHOP of Llandaff High School
were recently crowned the Live

a competition where four
Cardiff secondary schools went
head to head in a bid to have
their culinary creations included
on the menu in all secondary
schools in the city.
The team made up of
students from Year 9 were
declared winners with their
tasty ‘Bishop Wedges’ and
‘Cottage Toppers’ dishes.
The School Nutrition Action
Group (SNAG) Event 2013 was
organised by Cardiff Council’s

the Public Health Dietetic Team
of Cardiff and Vale University
Health Board to celebrate the
contribution SNAGs have made
towards improving food and
nutrition in their schools.
Students from Bishop of
Llandaff Church in Wales High
School, Glyn Derw High School,
St Teilo’s Church in Wales High
School and Whitchurch High
School flexed their culinary
muscles in a ‘cook off’ to
produce healthy and tasty
potato based dishes.
The finalists’ recipes were
appealing to young people,
practical to prepare in large
volumes with ingredients
available to school caterers, and
were nutritionally balanced,
complying with Appetite for Life
standards, which aim to
improve
the
nutritional
standards of food and drink in
schools in Wales.
All creations were judged by
a panel including Chris Davies
(Catering Services Manager for
Education Catering), Eryl Powell
(Principal Health Promotion
Specialist for Cardiff and Vale
University Health Board),
Richard Shaw (Focus on Food
Advisory Teacher) and students.
The students also delivered
marketing
presentations,
explaining the reasons for
choosing the dish, consultation
and product evaluations and
how they plan to promote their
dish.

Schools welcome special visitors
TWO Cardiff primary schools
played host to visitors from
overseas during the summer
term as part of a British Council
project to share best practice
and cultures.
Ninian Park Primary School
and St Mary the Virgin Church
in Wales Primary School
welcomed representatives from
their partner schools in Zambia
and Bangladesh respectively as
part of the Connecting
Classrooms programme.
Staff and teachers at Ninian
Park Primary were visited by
Mrs Namakaliza Kazwala,
teadteacher of Konkola Trust
Primary
School
in
Chililabombwe, Zambia and
teacher Liz Bwalya Mulumba
for a week, during which they
exchanged
ideas
about
teaching and worked on
planning mutually beneficial,
shared projects for the children
in both schools.
The schools are in their
second year of a successful
partnership, with Ninian Park
teachers also travelling to visit
their Zambian partner school
recently.
The visit to St Mary the
Virgin Primary built on an
existing link between the
Diocese of Llandaff and Church
of Bangladesh as Kamela
Murmu , headteacher of St
Barnabas School in Paitapukur,
Rajshahi
and Reverend
Michael Soren, parish priest of
the same village, spent time in
Cardiff planning collaborative
work on global citizenship
which will focus on climate
change as well as exploring
how languages are taught in
both settings.
Headteacher of St Mary the
Virgin Primary, Ruth Jackson,
said: “I am delighted to
welcome Mrs Murmu and
Reverend Soren to St Mary the
Virgin School. When Father
Francis, chair of Governors and
I visited Bangladesh last year
we had an incredible time
meeting with children and
teachers alike and sharing
information about how schools
work in Bangladesh. We hope
that our visitors will be inspired
by some of the ideas that we
use from our ‘teacher’s
toolkit’.”

THE Insole Court Trust held a
very successful event aimed at
showing how the venue was
used during World War II.
The entry ticket was a
replica ration book and people
attending the event were
whisked back in time with reenactors and entertainers
playing the roles of GIs, home
guards, land army girls, workers
in the Women's Voluntary
Service (WVS) canteen and
even a spiv.
The dining room at Insole
Court was used by the Royal
Observer Corps to plot aircraft
flying over South Wales, and
this room was carefully
reproduced for the event.
WWII expert Geoffrey
Barton-Greenwood gave a talk
as
well
as
Eileen
Younghusband, who spoke
about working for the
Women's Auxiliary Air Force
(WAAF) on radar operations
during WWII.
The event also featured a
1940s fashion parade, with
outfits
from
Hubbard’s
Cupboard.
During WWII, the Insole
Court gardens were used to run
‘Holidays at Home’ events, to
boost morale. This was
recreated with a team of
stallholders keeping everyone
entertained with the ‘Hit the
Hitler’ shy, treasure map and
bottle stall, as well as
fundraising stalls. Lindy Hop
Cardiff also put on a display of
swing dance.
The day managed to raise
£450 for the Insole Court
Renewal Project. The Insole
Court Trust will be holding
another heritage day on
Sunday, September 15, from
2pm to 4pm, when the house
will be open for heritage hunts
and garden trails. More details
