• Visit from Santa

  Fri 20 Dec 2013 Mr D Hughes

  Santa is certainly working hard this Christmas. At 2pm this afternoon the Foundation Phase pupils were treated to a surprise visit from Father Christmas and his reindeers. He managed to land safely on the Junior yard and was greeted by a loud cheer. Thank you for taking the time out of your hectic schedule to visit us.

  

• Christmas Concerts

  Tue 17 Dec 2013 Mr D Hughes

  The pupils of Ysgol Gwynedd have been extra busy this half term preparing for and performing their Christmas concerts.

   

  Years 5/6 started the busy fortnight of concerts with a performance of 'A Christmas Wish' that was held at St Mary's Church. Years 1/2 continued the following evening with an excellent re-telling of Pinocchio. Nursery and reception then followed with performances of 'Christmas Eve at the toy shop' with Owen (Yr 6) as narrator. Years 3 and 4 closed the Christmas concerts for 2013 with performances of 'Santa's on Strike'.

   

  Congratulations to all pupils on their resounding performances and a big thank you to all staff for their hard work and dedication throughout.

  

• Artist in Residence

  Fri 13 Dec 2013 Mr D Hughes

  During the the autumn term a group of 28 pupils in Year 3/4 were visited by Mrs Ann Bridges who was our artist in residence for the week.

   

  Mrs Ann Bridges, a professional printer, and the pupils worked tirelessly to design and create artwork based on the theme of 'Riddles & Rhymes' which culminated in an art exhibition at Clwyd Theatre Cymru.

   

  The work that the pupils created is seen behind the group photograph (below) and will soon return to school to be used as a display. Well done to everyone involved and a massive thank you to Mrs Davenport and Mrs Levitt for helping. Diolch.
