Diwrnod Shwmae!!
On Friday the 15th of October it is Diwrnod Shwmae (Shwmae day).
This is a national celebration and the aim is simple - to start every conversation with 'Shwmae' (Hi there!)
It will be recognised across wales and is a time to come together to celebrate and promote the Welsh language. We are asking children to come to school in the Welsh colours (red, green, white) or in a Welsh rugby / football top.
Each class will be taking part in activities throughout the day.
Diolch yn fawr.
