Extracurricular news from the Welsh Department
A big thank you to Elin Meek and Robat Powell for joining in a virtual year 7 lesson recently to talk to the pupils about their work as writers. The pupils really enjoyed the opportunity to ask them questions.
Well done to Haiden Hogg and Callie Davies for delivering lovely Public Speaking speeches at lunchtime discussing the Welsh language, specifically in education. It was great to hear their fiery debate!
Year 11 students had the opportunity to attend the Welsh Schools Peace Conference online. They had the opportunity to listen to presentations from various speakers and join in workshops to discuss with pupils from other schools about what can be done about climate justice.
Thanks also to this term to the Welsh Department at Aberystwyth University for hosting a series of lectures for the Sixth Form.
