Our pupils will return to a Wythnos Cymraeg / Welsh week on Tuesday 24th February. All teachers will plan Welsh activities and pupils will be completing their competition entries in handwriting, English writing and art. Pupils will be focusing on their welsh skills in oracy, reading and writing and will even be completing numeracy based/welsh activities.
The three days will build up to our Eisteddfod day on Friday 27th March. On this day, pupils are allowed to wear Welsh costumes (including headwear if desired) or their house colours. Pupils may also bring in home-made banners or house colour mascots if they wish. At the end of each day in this week, all pupils will meet in their ‘Houses’ to practise stage items and to support one another. Pupils may choose to audition for the following competitions: choir, solo singing, instrumental solo and a group recital. The choir involves the whole house ensuring that all pupils will take part on the big day. We are looking forward to a fun-filled Welsh week!
