Wythnos Cymraeg!

This week Year 1 have been very busy preparing for the school Eisteddford. Many children took part in the welsh home task and created some amazing welsh dragons!! The dragons are now proudly displayed around the school showcasing the brilliant artistic talents at Coedpenmaen. A massive thank you to the children and parents for all their hard work! Da yawn pawb!!

The children have had lots of fun taking part in a variety of welsh activities throughout the week such as labelling a map of Wales using Google maps, drawing a welsh dragon using the computer program 2Simple and writing their own poems about Wales.

We also looked at the Welsh artist Kyffin Williams and experimented with the palette knives, creating different textures and patterns. After we had decided on our favourite Kyffin Williams painting, we had a go at re-creating it using the palette knives! The paintings were then entered into the art competition for the Eisteddford and four winners were chosen. Llongyfarchiadau i Jake, Freddy, Brooke and Grace!
