WALES MUSIC DAY

Pupils were able to listen to music during their lessons on Wales Music Day. Miss Sioned Huws created a playlist containing Welsh songs which are favourites of staff and pupils. During the lunch hour, a mime-to-music competition was held   for the school's younger pupils and Cerys and Elisha received an award for their mime.

THE BIRDMAN'S VISIT

It was a delight to welcome Islwyn the birdman back to us. The pupils had numerous experiences in his company. This ranged from grabbing the bird to seeing how it responded to commands. It was great to be so close to these remarkable birds.

DRAMA WORKSHOP

It was great to welcome Mared Llywelyn from Tebot Drama Company to the school to run a workshop with year 7 and all the pupils from Cybi. Following the workshop Mared has left us with a store of ideas and will write a short play for the pupils to perform . We hope there will be a chance to film the finished drama. This activity is part of a catchment project where each school within the catchment area is working with a playwright to produce a short play.

In the wake of the disaster in Turkey and Syria following the recent earthquake, pupils raised money to support the DEC Appeal.
