KS2 Disco
Fri 04 Apr 2014Our KS2 pupils had a special treat on Thursday evening. For the past few weeks our amazing mid-day supervisors (MDSA's) had been arranging a disco for the pupils to enjoy. Many tickets were sold and a (very energetic!!) DJ was asked to come along to entertain everyone. Pupils enjoyed dressing up in their party clothes, singing karaoke, eating hot dogs and dancing to Gangnam Style on stage. Everybody at Ysgol Gwynedd is indebted to the hard work of the MDSA's who take great care of all our pupils during the lunch hour, ensuring that they are happy and well looked after. The disco was a great way to share this special bond - Diolch!!

The session involved 5 schools from Flintshire (Ysgol Owen Jones, Cornist Park School, Ysgol Bryn Gwalia, Broughton Primary School and Ysgol Gwynedd) and Ysgol Casllwchwr, Swansea via Facetime. Each school were given an opportunity to present to each other in a carousel format. Ysgol Gwynedd presented about Wikis and how they have helped them learn about their topic and and how they can make connections using links to other subjects. It was also an opportunity for our pupils to meet new friends whilst learning about new digital initiatives such as coding with Scratch, Purple Mash, e-cadets and Hopscotch. Thank you to Cornist Park School for hosting a great learning experience.

It's OK to be different!!
Fri 21 Mar 2014On Friday 21st March children were asked to wear odd socks in support of World Downs Syndrome Day which draws attention to the fact that we are all different and that’s OK. It stimulated discussion within each class through carpet and circle time. This is the 9th anniversary of World Downs Syndrome Day and each year the voice of people with Downs syndrome, and those who live and work with them, grows louder.
