Well done to the 5x60 Boys Dodgeball Team captained by Steffan Williams, they successfully placed in the top two teams at the Cynon Valley Schools Dodgeball Tournament and will go on to compete against the school's in Rhondda later this month, fanstastic news!!!

A big thank you to the 5x60 Basketball team, with captain Tim Berry for playing an excellant fixture against Pen Yr Dre high school. We kept fighting right up until the end and a great effort was put in by the whole team.

Good luck to the 5x60 Street Dance squad next week when they will be performing in the Park and Dare Theatre in Treorchy for the 'Celebration of Dance' event.

5x60 Children In Need Rowing Event

Wednesday 18th December saw over 60 pupils, and various members of staff, take part in rowing the distance from RCT to Africa. Combining the total miles rowed with the 5 other Cynon Valley Schools we aimed to get as far across the Atlantic as possible. With Blaengwawr adding a very respectable 70 miles to the total, we certainly rowed out of Wales at least!

The event took place in the Youth Wing on the school site, with 3 rowing machines kindly donated for the event from Pontypridd High. With coverage from BBC Radio Wales and huge participation from young people in each year group, the event was very successful.

Sponsorship money is still coming in thick and fast and so far we have raised over £268.39 for Children In Need. The event was a great way to fundraise for this fantastic charity but also enabled pupils to continue to take part in the 5x60 scheme, trying something new which could lead to a 5x60 rowing club in the New Year!

I would like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who got involved especially to Mr Brock and Miss Pedrick for helping to run the event. Congratulations to Tom Legge who rowed the furthest distance in the 5 minute time slot for the boys and Angharad Evans for the girls. Also a big thank you to Owain Walters in Year 7 for raising a staggering £34 to add to the pot.

5x60 is still continuing to run with clubs on every lunch time and after school, for any more info or if you have an idea for something sporty you would like to see at Blaengwawr please come and see me.

Many Thanks for everyone’s support in this event
