Saint David’s Day Celebrations
Thank you to all for joining in with our school celebrations to mark St. David’s Day.
We began our Welsh Week with the whole school Eisteddfod.
Children performed their chosen Welsh songs beautifully and competition winners were presented with their prizes by Mrs Murphy.
The Criw Cymraeg had a tricky job to choose the competition winners of our art competition!
Delicious Home Made Flat Bread
At Nursery our RE topic is Galilee to Jerusalem. During this topic we listened to stories of Jesus’ love for us. One of the stories was the Feeding of the Five Thousand portrayed through a book called The Boy Who Shared His Sandwich. Following the story we made flat bread. Making the flat bread became a cross curriculum activity with ‘Change’ our current school concept. We discussed how the dough changed into edible tasty bread after we applied heat.

After listening to a story, one by one the children placed their wreaths around the cross and said ‘thank you’ to the brave people who have made our world a better place.
