Our 'Criw Cymraeg' Pupils Action Group presented a fantastic assembly on Dydd Miwsig Cymru/Welsh Music Day. With the help of Mrs. Weaver they told us all about the importance of the day to celebrate Welsh Music, and shared videos of a variety of Welsh singers. We ended the assembly proudly singing our Welsh National Anthem.

Yr 4 had taster lessons of French, Maths and DT where they made acrylic spinning key fobs. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed their day and were very well-behaved.

Year 6 met the Minister for Children and Social Care, Dawn Bowden, in Coed Gwilym Park to celebrate the investment in and commitment to enhancing local play opportunities. They also visited St Joseph’s Cathedral Primary, one of our cluster schools, to take part in a Welsh bilingual beatbox and DJ session.

This year to celebrate our ‘Wythnos Cymreig/ Welsh Week’ our focus is  'Croeso.' We are promoting Welsh hospitality, culture, and "hwyl" (fun/joy), encouraging visitors to experience unique Welsh welcomes and destinations. As a school we will be learning about all the beautiful places there are to visit in Wales and our culture, food etc.

For their Half Term Homework pupils are expected to choose and complete one (or more) activities from the list below. Winning entries will receive a certificate during our Eisteddfod Merit Award on Friday February 27th. Pupils will be able to wear their Welsh costumes, Welsh rugby/football tops or the colour red. ALL ENTRIES MUST BE IN BY TUESDAY FEBRUARY 24^th to be judged in time.

During the afternoon of Friday 28^th February at 1:30pm parents are welcome (croeso) to come into their child’s class to hear/see what has been learnt that week. Parents are also welcome to attend our Year 6 Crowning of the bard at 2:15 pm.

We will have a special Family Mass at St Benedict’s Church, Clydach on Sunday 1^st March 10 am. All pupils are welcome to come dressed in their Welsh costumes, Welsh rugby/football tops or the colour red. It will be lovely to celebrate our national day together.

'Great Athlete' Paralympian Rhiannon Henry led a whole school event today designed to inspire every child to lead a more active, resilient and healthy life. Not only did we have a great time completing fun activity circuits, but we also raised a lot of money for the school to spend on sports equipment. Thank you to everyone for their generosity. I hope your child will tell you all about the fun they had. Rhiannon also completed a Q & A session and our piupils asked some really thoughtful and sensible questions.
