St David's Day/Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant

A message from Mrs D a Criw

 

Criw Cymraeg are excited to be launching our 'Welsh Week'. This Friday , the week will be kicked off as the children will go into their school houses to begin to plan the forthcoming week.

 

Next week each day the children will go to their 'house class' at 2.30pm each day to practice a poem recital, song and Twmpath dance with their 'house teacher'.

The children will be encouraged to make posters to support their house and they will also take time to work on our Welsh language skills.

 

On St David's Day we will host our very own 'Welsh Talent' and each house will take it in turns to share their performance with the rest of the school. Judges will be invited into school to judge the performance and the winning house will receive our Welsh trophy.

 

We hope the week will continue to embed our love of Wales, the language and culture and of course make memories that the children will fondly look back on. During the week each class will look at the story of St David. The children are encouraged to enter our Welsh competition ( see pic below) to gain extra points for their house - please can all entries be in to Mrs Davies by Wednesday.

 

Diolch! Mrs D a Criw Cymraeg.
