:00:00. > :00:09.Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story. The foundation phase - one of

:00:10. > :00:11.the Welsh government's flagship education policies still varies

:00:12. > :00:22.considerably between schools three years after it was introduced. We

:00:23. > :00:26.have got to focus on literacy and to get the children understanding. That

:00:27. > :00:30.is our core business. Our other headlines.

:00:31. > :00:32.Two schoolgirls at the centre of an alleged murder plot against their

:00:33. > :00:35.maths teacher Alison Cray are expelled.

:00:36. > :00:38.Also tonight. The bodies of Thomas Clarke from

:00:39. > :00:41.Cowbridge and Oliver Thomas from Brecon, killed in a helicopter crash

:00:42. > :00:48.in Afghanistan, have arrived back in Britain.

:00:49. > :00:55.He was brought up here, went to school here, he has got it horrific

:00:56. > :01:04.number of friends. He was very involved in the rugby. --

:01:05. > :01:07.magnificent number of friends. What are you children watching when

:01:08. > :01:11.they're online? Half of parents are failing to use internet filters.

:01:12. > :01:14.And the number of adults taking part in sport in Wales has hit a record

:01:15. > :01:28.high, with running and cycling becoming more popular.

:01:29. > :01:34.Good evening. Learning through play - the Welsh government's flagship

:01:35. > :01:38.programme for our youngest school children. Three years on, a new

:01:39. > :01:41.report says teaching of the foundation phase varies considerably

:01:42. > :01:46.from school to school but, overall, it has a positive impact on how our

:01:47. > :01:59.pupils learn. Here's our education correspondent Arwyn Jones.

:02:00. > :02:05.It has been called play -based learning but when the Education

:02:06. > :02:08.Minister is watching, it is a serious business. The foundation

:02:09. > :02:13.phase has been a band running for nearly three years. It concentrates

:02:14. > :02:19.on developing children's ability to learn rather than just transferring

:02:20. > :02:21.knowledge. Most teachers see it as benefiting their pupils, especially

:02:22. > :02:27.boys and those with special educational needs. The key thing is

:02:28. > :02:31.in the planning and delivery. Making sure good activities are planned

:02:32. > :02:34.which give the children opportunities to think for

:02:35. > :02:37.themselves but also to talk about what they have learned afterwards so

:02:38. > :02:42.they really can communicate what they have learned. Teachers don't

:02:43. > :02:47.all agree about how the programme improves literacy, numerous Eeyore

:02:48. > :02:52.improving performance of pupils from poorer brat grounds. And there are

:02:53. > :02:59.other issues about how it prepares pupils for the rest of their time in

:03:00. > :03:06.school. Last year, testing was introduced. One in four teachers

:03:07. > :03:14.felt the foundation phase prepare children well for that but one in

:03:15. > :03:20.five took the opposing view. Those tests are being reviewed but the

:03:21. > :03:23.Minister accepts there are problems. There are still some qualms amongst

:03:24. > :03:28.some professionals about how the foundation phase knits together with

:03:29. > :03:32.what else we are asking teachers to deliver. But we can point to best

:03:33. > :03:36.practice settings like this one and say confidently, this is what we

:03:37. > :03:42.need to be happening in every foundation phase setting across

:03:43. > :03:48.Wales. The foundation phase does not come cheap. It calls for one adult

:03:49. > :03:51.for every eight pupils. It says fostering a love of learning among

:03:52. > :03:55.our young children will pay dividends in the future but at the

:03:56. > :03:56.moment it is still not clear if that is happening.

:03:57. > :04:02.Dr Sam Waldron from Cardiff University was one of the research

:04:03. > :04:06.team. Parents watching this will be concerned that there is variation

:04:07. > :04:12.from school to school and that we are three years into this. I can

:04:13. > :04:17.understand that. There is variation but when done right it does seem to

:04:18. > :04:23.be having a positive impact. Why is there variation? We can't be

:04:24. > :04:28.entirely sure but largely it is down to perceptions people have of the

:04:29. > :04:32.foundation phase. The guidance provides opportunities for different

:04:33. > :04:37.things to happen within a classroom and teachers have some opportunities

:04:38. > :04:42.there. So this is only as good as the school in forcing the scheme

:04:43. > :04:49.will stop it does come down to the senior management team and

:04:50. > :04:51.practitioners views. How does Welsh government improve the variation?

:04:52. > :04:57.practitioners views. How does Welsh That is for them to think about. We

:04:58. > :04:59.are not making recommendations in this particular report but they

:05:00. > :05:04.might be looking at training programmes and that is something we

:05:05. > :05:10.will be covering in a future report. How damaging is it that children go

:05:11. > :05:15.through the foundation phase and then goes through what can be a

:05:16. > :05:21.pretty rigorous system of testing? That tests have been introduced in

:05:22. > :05:25.year two so the initial report found that teachers are struggling a

:05:26. > :05:28.little bit to marry the two but there will be another report on

:05:29. > :05:36.transition and assessment in particular. The foundation phase is

:05:37. > :05:39.essentially an experiment and we are not really going to know its success

:05:40. > :05:48.or otherwise until the children we saw in that film are much older. It

:05:49. > :05:53.is an initial evaluation. We have found evidence that children are

:05:54. > :05:57.enjoying learning more but a longer term evaluation looking at the

:05:58. > :06:00.impact this has on the children when they are 12 or 13 will also be of

:06:01. > :06:04.great value. And for parents who home school

:06:05. > :06:07.their children, plans for a register to check on the quality of the

:06:08. > :06:12.education they provide have been dropped. Opponents say the proposals

:06:13. > :06:14.amounted to a licensing scheme. The Education Minister says he's now

:06:15. > :06:17.looking at introducing guidance that's not legally binding to

:06:18. > :06:26.support councils and home educating families instead.

:06:27. > :06:29.The bodies of two servicemen from Wales who were killed along with

:06:30. > :06:33.three others in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan have been flown back

:06:34. > :06:35.to Britain. Army reservist Lance Corporal Oliver Thomas from Brecon

:06:36. > :06:40.and Captain Thomas Clarke from Cowbridge died on April 26th. The

:06:41. > :06:50.investigation into the cause of the crash is continuing. Caroline Evans

:06:51. > :06:54.reports. They were among five servicemen

:06:55. > :07:00.killed during what the Ministry of Defence said was a routine flight

:07:01. > :07:05.over Afghanistan. 26-year-old Lance Corporal Oliver Thomas from Brecon

:07:06. > :07:11.and 30-year-old Captain Carter from Cowbridge, one of the pilots, died

:07:12. > :07:18.when their Lynx helicopter crashed near the border with Afghanistan --

:07:19. > :07:22.Captain Thomas Clark. Today there families were joined by senior

:07:23. > :07:30.military figures as their bodies were flown back to Britain.

:07:31. > :07:40.There was a short ceremony, then the cortege left the RAF base, passing

:07:41. > :07:43.to the nearby memorial garden. Among the friends who travelled here to

:07:44. > :07:55.pay their respects, the MP Roger Williams, Oliver Thomas worked for

:07:56. > :07:59.him as a researcher. He was very popular for all the right reasons

:08:00. > :08:05.and everybody who knew him like him very much indeed but also respected

:08:06. > :08:16.him. In Cowbridge, arrangements are under way for the funeral of Captain

:08:17. > :08:20.Thomas Clark. He was somebody special. He was such an outgoing

:08:21. > :08:25.person and so warm and friendly and so committed that he really touched

:08:26. > :08:33.a lot of people. A very popular boy and rightly so. He was described by

:08:34. > :08:37.senior officers as a rising star of the army but where he grew up and

:08:38. > :08:42.attended conferences school, he will be remembered as a person who was

:08:43. > :08:47.bright and full of fun. This weekend I am told friends held a celebration

:08:48. > :08:51.of his life and today many have gone to Oxfordshire to support his

:08:52. > :08:57.family. The helicopter in which the five men died when down over

:08:58. > :09:01.Kandahar province. The Taliban claimed its fighters had shot the

:09:02. > :09:05.aircraft down but the MoD has said the indications are this was a

:09:06. > :09:10.tragic accident. The investigation into exactly what happened is still

:09:11. > :09:14.going on and the MoD has said it is not clear how long it will take for

:09:15. > :09:18.investigators to report back. A mines inspector has told a jury

:09:19. > :09:21.that the area of the Gleision Colliery where three of the four

:09:22. > :09:25.miners drowned flooded in just six seconds. Swansea Crown Court heard

:09:26. > :09:30.how 17 tonnes of water filled the area where they were working. One of

:09:31. > :09:33.the miners was further away but became trapped. Mine manager Malcolm

:09:34. > :09:36.Fyfield denies four counts of manslaughter through gross

:09:37. > :09:42.negligence and the mine operators also deny four counts of corporate

:09:43. > :09:44.manslaughter. Bomb disposal teams are continuing

:09:45. > :09:49.to investigate an explosion which seriously injured a man at a house

:09:50. > :09:52.in Dolgellau. The man, who's in his 20s, is still being treated in

:09:53. > :09:57.hospital after he was airlifted from the house on Sunday. His injuries

:09:58. > :10:01.are not believed to be life threatening.

:10:02. > :10:04.A police investigation has concluded that pension payments made to the

:10:05. > :10:08.chief executives of Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire county councils

:10:09. > :10:11.were not criminal offences. Gloucester Police looked into the

:10:12. > :10:14.payments to Mark James and Bryn Parry Jones after a Wales Audit

:10:15. > :10:19.Office report last January said they were unlawful.

:10:20. > :10:24.Two schoolgirls arrested on suspicion of conspiring to murder

:10:25. > :10:27.their teacher have been expelled. Police were called to Cwmcarn High

:10:28. > :10:31.School on Thursday after concerns were raised about their behaviour. A

:10:32. > :10:36.15-year-old from Newbridge and a 14-year-old girl from Risca were

:10:37. > :10:39.arrested and bailed. Rhodri Lewis reports.

:10:40. > :10:43.This afternoon there was little sign at Cwmcarn High School of the drama

:10:44. > :10:46.which happened here last Thursday afternoon. Pupils raised the alarm

:10:47. > :10:51.after becoming concerned about the behaviour of two girls. The police

:10:52. > :10:54.were called and the two were arrested and questioned. This

:10:55. > :10:57.morning it was announced that they've both now been expelled from

:10:58. > :11:01.the school after allegedly conspiring to kill their maths

:11:02. > :11:05.teacher. The teacher, Alison Cray, who's taught at the school for more

:11:06. > :11:09.than ten years, has praised the school for the way it dealt with the

:11:10. > :11:13.incident. She said, "I know very little about it. It all happened

:11:14. > :11:17.elsewhere and I wasn't directly involved at all. I'm very lucky that

:11:18. > :11:21.I'm at Cwmcarn and that they have handled it so well. I've been

:11:22. > :11:24.working as normal and I'm fine". The 15-year-old girl is from Newbridge,

:11:25. > :11:28.while the 14-year old-girl is from Risca. They were both arrested on

:11:29. > :11:31.suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder, while the 15-year-old was

:11:32. > :11:35.also arrested on suspicion of making threats to kill and of having a

:11:36. > :11:39.bladed article on school premises. They've now been bailed. The

:11:40. > :11:43.incident happened just days after another teacher, Ann Maguire, died

:11:44. > :11:47.after being stabbed at a college in Leeds. The day after, police were

:11:48. > :11:50.called to a primary school in Warwickshire after it was reported

:11:51. > :11:54.two boys had poured a bleach-like substance into their teacher's

:11:55. > :11:58.coffee. No-one was harmed in the incident at Cwmcarn. In a statement

:11:59. > :12:01.on the school's website, its Chair of Governors says he's pleased with

:12:02. > :12:05.how everyone responded to the incident. Caerphilly Council says

:12:06. > :12:08.it's assessing the girls' needs before deciding where they'll

:12:09. > :12:10.continue their education. Much more to come before seven

:12:11. > :12:14.o'clock. Tuesday night at the exercise class

:12:15. > :12:18.- more of us are keeping fit than ever before.

:12:19. > :12:21.And he was the David Beckham of his day - Wrexham pays tribute to the

:12:22. > :12:29.lavish footballer who was the toast of Edwardian Britain.

:12:30. > :12:36.How safe are your children when they go online? Well, for many, the

:12:37. > :12:39.answer seems to be, not very. The latest research from the online

:12:40. > :12:43.video regulator suggest thousands of children have viewed pornography on

:12:44. > :12:47.the internet. And around half of parents are failing to use online

:12:48. > :12:49.control filters. Roger Pinney's been speaking to parents and internet

:12:50. > :13:06.safety experts. All of us want to keep our children

:13:07. > :13:11.safe and most of the time we do but the Internet brings danger into our

:13:12. > :13:15.home. This woman says she is Internet savvy and she does her best

:13:16. > :13:23.to control her children will stop but it is not always easy. My

:13:24. > :13:27.children have got iPods. They are small, mobile and they can take them

:13:28. > :13:32.around the house. They could be accessing any information. There are

:13:33. > :13:36.parental controls but sometimes finding those on all the different

:13:37. > :13:42.devices that you can have around the house are quite difficult. Figures

:13:43. > :13:48.suggest one in ten Welsh under 18 is not only can but to visit adult

:13:49. > :13:53.sites and there is evidence watching inappropriate videos can influence

:13:54. > :13:56.behaviour. Young Babel are influenced by what they see in the

:13:57. > :14:05.media, on television, what they see on the Internet. They are likely to

:14:06. > :14:10.act out those things that they see. How do we keep our kids safe when

:14:11. > :14:16.they go online? I have come to the danger point centre where they teach

:14:17. > :14:21.about the everyday dangers we all face. From travelling on trains to

:14:22. > :14:30.crossing the road. They deal with the Internet here as well with the

:14:31. > :14:37.risks are far less obvious. To help, they have created an Internet

:14:38. > :14:48.character called Chaos. We try to encourage them to teach Chaos how to

:14:49. > :14:55.be safe online. You ask them a few questions, don't you, Chaos?

:14:56. > :14:59.We offer parents programmes and we try to make them aware of what their

:15:00. > :15:03.children are accessing and encourage them to go on the same social

:15:04. > :15:08.networking site so they can see what their children are doing. But also

:15:09. > :15:15.putting parental controls on their computers, they gaming consoles, on

:15:16. > :15:21.their phones. It will allow them to put parental controls in place. For

:15:22. > :15:28.now, studies show half of parents don't bother. That will change. By

:15:29. > :15:32.the end of next year, we have two opt-out of parental controls, not

:15:33. > :15:35.into them. The Internet is getting safer.

:15:36. > :15:38.People with asthma are dying unnecessarily because of complacency

:15:39. > :15:41.among medical staff and patients. That's according to a report by the

:15:42. > :15:45.Royal College of Physicians, which says 67 people died from the

:15:46. > :15:48.condition in Wales in 2012. The Welsh government says it published

:15:49. > :15:52.its plan to reduce unscheduled hospital admissions for people with

:15:53. > :15:55.asthma last week. The broadcasting regulator Ofcom has

:15:56. > :15:58.said it will not be investigating a discussion on the Radio Wales

:15:59. > :16:01.phone-in programme which discussed the Welsh language. Ofcom received

:16:02. > :16:07.31 complaints about Morning Call, which was broadcast in March. At the

:16:08. > :16:13.time, the BBC saidthe programme presented a balanced discussion with

:16:14. > :16:16.a wide number of opinions. Fire crews have removed debris from

:16:17. > :16:20.the disused Palace Theatre in Swansea after a call from a

:16:21. > :16:22.concerned member of the public. High Street was closed while they

:16:23. > :16:27.inspected the roof yesterday evening. The grade two listed

:16:28. > :16:30.building is one of the UK's only Victorian music halls still

:16:31. > :16:33.standing. The council recently offered the owners of the building a

:16:34. > :16:38.grant of ?75,000 for emergency repairs.

:16:39. > :16:42.The number of us regularly taking part in sport has hit a record high.

:16:43. > :16:46.The figures from Sport Wales also shows Wales is bucking the trend

:16:47. > :16:49.compared with the rest of the UK. Our reporter Natasha Livingstone is

:16:50. > :16:55.enjoying the fresh air in Cardiff tonight.

:16:56. > :16:58.Jamie, people are out and about this evening making the most of the dry

:16:59. > :17:04.and lighter evenings, and it's at places like this where some of the

:17:05. > :17:09.most popular sports take place. There's been an increase in areas

:17:10. > :17:14.like running, cycling and football. But all areas of sport have seen a

:17:15. > :17:18.rise. Almost 40% of adults now take part in some form of activity three

:17:19. > :17:26.or more times a week and, as I've been finding out, demand is high.

:17:27. > :17:33.This group of women come to their local fitness class several times a

:17:34. > :17:36.week. The gym has only been open since February but already extra

:17:37. > :17:42.classes have been put on to help cope with an increase in numbers. We

:17:43. > :17:46.are surprised. We thought we would be busy but we did not think we

:17:47. > :17:52.would be as busy as we are. We seem to be doing something right. Just

:17:53. > :17:59.being attractive for women to come and have a go. Sport Wales say there

:18:00. > :18:05.is a 34% jump in the number of people doing regular exercise

:18:06. > :18:12.between 2008 and 2012. That is 262,000 more people aged 15 - 65

:18:13. > :18:17.doing some form of sport or activity three or more times a week. But

:18:18. > :18:22.while Wales is bucking the trend can pay to the rest of the UK, there is

:18:23. > :18:25.concern that some are missing out. A recent assembly committee report

:18:26. > :18:30.said there is not enough information about sport levels for people from

:18:31. > :18:37.deprived backgrounds or those with cultural barriers. There are some

:18:38. > :18:41.barriers ahead. We know that women take part less frequently than men

:18:42. > :18:47.do in sport. And in poorer areas of Wales there is lower rates of

:18:48. > :18:53.participation. We will be working doubly hard once we have digestive

:18:54. > :18:57.the findings from the survey to make sure the offer for all adults across

:18:58. > :19:03.every community in Wales is right and keep them involved for life.

:19:04. > :19:07.Keeping people involved in sport could potentially save the NHS in

:19:08. > :19:14.Wales ?53 million a year. The survey shows that through exercising three

:19:15. > :19:20.or four more times a week, you are more likely to be healthy. It is

:19:21. > :19:24.incredibly busy no matter what class you can do. People from all

:19:25. > :19:29.different walks of life as well. You start making friends with people you

:19:30. > :19:33.would not normally meet. Organisers say with some around the corner they

:19:34. > :19:36.are expecting even more people the doors.

:19:37. > :19:39.It's hoped that type of demand will continue right across the country

:19:40. > :19:42.over the next year. Sport Wales say they're going to continue their work

:19:43. > :19:46.to make sure the number of people taking part in sport continues to

:19:47. > :19:52.grow and that all areas are targeted.

:19:53. > :19:57.He was the David Beckham of his day - he even changed the rules of

:19:58. > :20:00.football. The story of one of the game's most extravagant players will

:20:01. > :20:04.form part of an exhibition marking the 150th anniversary of Wrexham

:20:05. > :20:09.Football Club. Leigh Roose, who was born in Wrexham, played in goal for

:20:10. > :20:13.Wales in the early 1900s. A pop-up museum full of fans' memorabilia

:20:14. > :20:16.will open in the town at the end of the month.

:20:17. > :20:19.These days, stories of fast-living, glamorous footballers earning and

:20:20. > :20:24.spending huge amounts of money are all too common. But back in the

:20:25. > :20:29.early 1900s there was one man who set the template. The genteel age

:20:30. > :20:31.when Edward VII was king and Teddy Roosevelt was President saw

:20:32. > :20:35.Wrexham's Leigh Richmond Roose play in goal for Aberstwyth, Stoke and

:20:36. > :20:40.Sunderland, as well as for Wales against Ireland at the Racecourse in

:20:41. > :20:44.1906 as recorded on this plaque. But it was his behaviour off the pitch

:20:45. > :20:48.which led to his eccentric reputation. A playboy linked with a

:20:49. > :20:55.string of women, including music hall star Marie Lloyd, he wore

:20:56. > :20:59.Savile Row suits. If you can imagine George Best and David Beckham all

:21:00. > :21:03.mixed into one with a showbiz elements combined with the talent of

:21:04. > :21:09.Peter Schmeichel, he was that kind of character. Playing as an amateur,

:21:10. > :21:11.he wasn't paid but earned more in expenses than professional players

:21:12. > :21:15.did in wages. He once apparently missed a train to an away game at

:21:16. > :21:18.Aston Villa, so hired his own private engine and carriage to take

:21:19. > :21:22.him from London to Birmingham before billing his club the then staggering

:21:23. > :21:27.sum of ?31. And Roose's impact can be felt in modern footballing rules.

:21:28. > :21:29.While many goalkeepers used to stay between the posts, Roose, so

:21:30. > :21:33.infuriated the FA by repeatedly handling the ball anywhere in his

:21:34. > :21:37.own half, that in 1912 it ruled keepers were forbidden to touch the

:21:38. > :21:41.ball beyond their penalty area. His story is just one to form part of a

:21:42. > :21:45.pop-up museum at this shopping centre. Made from fans' memorabilia,

:21:46. > :21:55.it will mark Wrexham FC's 150th anniversary. The third oldest club

:21:56. > :21:59.in the world. We think that probably out there in lofts and back rooms

:22:00. > :22:03.there are going to be posters and shirts and medals and maybe even

:22:04. > :22:10.some international caps. We want the public to bring them into the museum

:22:11. > :22:14.so that on May 29-30, the whole of Wrexham can come to see them.

:22:15. > :22:19.Roose's story has a tragic ending though. He joined the Royal Welsh

:22:20. > :22:22.Fusiliers and fought in France during the First World War. His

:22:23. > :22:26.football skills were reflected in his ability to throw grenades over

:22:27. > :22:29.huge distances. But he was killed at the Somme in 1916. His contribution

:22:30. > :22:32.to battle both on and off the football field will be marked at the

:22:33. > :22:35.end of the month. Cricket, and rain has interrupted

:22:36. > :22:40.day three of Glamorgan's match against Worcestershire at the Swalec

:22:41. > :22:47.Stadium. After a promising start by the home side's bowlers, was assured

:22:48. > :22:51.declared on 296-6. Glamorgan have just started their second innings.

:22:52. > :22:58.Not sure it's cricketing weather for the rest of the week, Benaz?

:22:59. > :23:03.If you can dodge the shower with you can play some cricket. We

:23:04. > :23:07.If you can dodge the shower with you some rain heading our way by that

:23:08. > :23:10.and we get to Thursday. We have already had some heavy showers today

:23:11. > :23:16.but there is more on its way from the south-west as we go through

:23:17. > :23:23.tonight. On the +, it is cloudy and mild with temperatures no lower than

:23:24. > :23:27.eight Celsius. We will get a brief break tomorrow but then we have got

:23:28. > :23:31.this weather system making its way in from the south-west as we go into

:23:32. > :23:36.the estate which will bring some very heavy rain and windy conditions

:23:37. > :23:44.as well. Tomorrow morning, it is a cloudy start but it is dry. Near

:23:45. > :23:53.Wrexham, we have got a feel showers. Quite blustery further west. We have

:23:54. > :24:00.got a few showers across Ceredigion and right down to Pembrokeshire and

:24:01. > :24:05.Carmarthenshire. The temperatures in double figures from the word go.

:24:06. > :24:09.Through tomorrow it will remain blustery as the winds continue into

:24:10. > :24:13.the afternoon. By the afternoon we can look forward to something a

:24:14. > :24:20.little bit drier across parts of the South and West. But those showers

:24:21. > :24:25.continuing in the North. Tomorrow night, those showers will clear and

:24:26. > :24:32.as we go into the overnight period, that weather system starts to arrive

:24:33. > :24:37.from the West. It is another fairly mild night with temperatures getting

:24:38. > :24:40.down to around nine Celsius. Thursday is probably the worst day

:24:41. > :24:49.of the week in terms of wet and windy conditions. From the word go,

:24:50. > :24:55.spilling North and eastwards. A top temperature of 15 Celsius and then

:24:56. > :25:00.the rain will start to clear. On Friday, ones that rain has cleared,

:25:01. > :25:05.we can look forward to another day of sunshine and showers. The showers

:25:06. > :25:09.could be heavy. Once we go through that, by the time we get to the

:25:10. > :25:12.weekend, another weather system will bring more wet and windy conditions.

:25:13. > :25:16.A reminder of our top stories tonight.

:25:17. > :25:20.It aims to develop how our youngest children think by learning through

:25:21. > :25:23.play. Three years on a new report says teaching of the foundation

:25:24. > :25:26.phase varies considerably from school to school but, overall, it

:25:33. > :25:37.Two schoolgirls arrested on suspicion of conspiring to murder

:25:38. > :25:40.their teacher have been expelled. Police were called to Cwmcarn High
