Eco day Thursday

Tomorrow (20th February) is an Eco day where the children can participate in a 'Trashion show', modelling clothes made out if recycled rubbish if they want to. All children may wear non school uniform if they wish even if they are not doing the 'Trashion show.' 

Eisteddfod Song for Year 3

As usual, we will be holding Eisteddfod competitions in all classes this year in the run up to our St. David’s Day Eisteddfod. The nature and number of the competitions depend on the age of the children.  Competitions include Art, Creative Writing, Handwriting, Poetry (Reading and Writing, Welsh and English), Singing (Welsh and English), and Music. Every child in the school will take part in the Eisteddfod activities ranging from the Nursery (Art) to Year 6 (all the above).  As a school, we would like  to wish every pupil success in the competitions, and would like to thank the parental support given each year in preparing the children for the Eisteddfod. 

Please follow the following link to find the Year 3 Eisteddfod song; Ti'n dod I ddawnsio

St.David's day photos

Just a reminder that tomorrow, 13th February the photographer is taking photos of the children in Welsh costume.  Please could the children come to school dressed in Welsh costume. If you wish for your child to change into school uniform after the photographs, please could this be brought to school in a plastic bag. If you wish for your child to remain in costume that is fine too. 

Eisteddfod songs

J1 and J2 have been learning a welsh song called 'Ti'n Dod i Ddawnsio'. They can listen to the song and sing along at home following the link

Gymnastics fun in J1

We have been using the apparatus to create our sequences.

Our finished castles

Here are our final castles! 

Our castles are finished

Here are a few pictures of the children working hard in groups creating their castles. The children loved making the castles and put in a huge amount of effort into them. They all worked well in groups and assigned roles within their groups. It was a very busy and messy day but the children loved every minute of it!

We would also like to say a huge thank you to the parents of J1 and J2 for helping their children find items at home to bring into school to make their castles.

Pictures of the children and their finished castles are to follow.
