  Saint Dwynwen's Day 25th January 2024:

  Saint Dwynwen's Day, the Welsh equivalent of Saint Valentine is on 25th January. Each class completed work about Saint Dwynwen. For Saint Dwynwen's Day Year 1 read the story of St Dwynwen and made a card for someone they love.

   

  Children in Blwyddyn 2 celebrated Saint Dwynwen Day by designing their own love spoons for someone special. They selected different symbols for their love spoons and made a label.

   

  For Saint Dwynwen's Day Year 3 learnt about the story of Dwynwen and thought of what love meant to them, in particular how friends and family show love. They discussed lots of adjectives and what these words are in Welsh before writing them on the paper to describe their friends.

   

  Year 4 wrote about what they had learnt about Saint Dwynwen, to celebrate her special day.

   

   

  Blwyddyn 5 celebrated Santes Dwynwen by learning about the story of Dwynwen. They learnt about the tradition of giving Welsh Lovespoons and what the symbols represent. They then designed and created some Welsh Lovespoons of their own.
