  Dear Parents/Carers
  
  Over the next two weeks in school, we will be celebrating Wales during our Welsh fortnight. This will end with our St David’s Day Eisteddfod on Friday 1st March where the children are invited to wear Welsh colours, kits and costumes and each year group will be performing an item for our Eisteddfod.
  
  As well as completing a variety of activities in class, we have arranged a number of other exciting opportunities for the children. See timetable attached.
  
  Information about competitions for each year group were sent out by class teachers before the holidays. All entries need to be submitted by Monday 26th February.
  
  We are very excited to get back to school on Monday 19th February and immerse ourselves in what it is to be Welsh.
