Caerdydd 2025!

Year 6 enjoyed a busy 3 days exploring Cardiff and some surrounding areas. We learned about some of the history of Wales, about our parliament and had some fun down on the bay too! Diolch to all of our hosts and to our Friends of School and The Blakemore Foundation who both made contributions towards our school trip.

Dydd Santes Dwynwen Hapus

Some of our Year 6 pupils gave out some origami hearts (calon) to our parents to wish them a โ€˜Dydd Santes Dwynwen Hapusโ€™.

St Davidโ€™s Day celebration practise

Today Judith volunteered her time to help some of our pupils who will be helping to celebrate St Davidโ€™s day in the community on Sunday 2nd March. They learned a song and began a Twmpath to the tune of โ€˜Mi welais Jac y doโ€™. They were fantastic, da iawn bawb!

Dydd Santes Dwynwen

We have been listening to the story of Santes Dwynwen. We made some origami hearts to spread the love. We watched the video on mute and had the instructions in Welshโ€ฆ!

Plygwch- fold

Trowch- turn

Canol- centre

Triongl- triangle

Calon- heart

Cwis Dim Clem

Today we took part in the Cwis Dim Clem. We were the third of 27 schools to take part. We will have to wait to find out if we have got through to the next round.

We had 2 winning teams. If our score of 30/40 is high enough, 4 out 5 of them will represent Knighton in the next round!

Enillwyr Tocynnau Cymraeg

Congratulations to our Welsh badge winners last week. You have been using lots of incidental Welsh inside and outside of the classroom. Bendigedig pawb!!

The Welsh Whisperer\Y Sibrwd Cymraeg

The Welsh Whisperer visited Dosbarth Hwyaid Bach, Eryr and Jac-y-Do yesterday to compose a Christmas Song of our very own. We worked within our classes in the morning to compose the lyrics for the song and then all came together in the afternoon to perform the song to the rest of the school. The children agreed that our Christmas Song was a hit and we are all very proud of ourselves of how well it went!!

The Welsh Whisperer then let us party alongside him with him playing a selection of his very own songs. We loved this too, and as you can see from the photos, we all had an amazing time!!
