As Saint David’s Day is coming up, we will be holding an Eisteddfod celebration in Rhydri Village Hall for both Bedwas Junior School and Rhydri Primary School on Friday 28th February 2020. Children are invited to wear Welsh costumes or red clothing.
Eisteddfod Home Craft Competition
As part of the Eisteddfod, one of the competitions children are invited to participate in is the home craft competition. This year all children will be invited to make a Love Spoon that represents themselves. This could be as simple as a drawing on paper to a 3d model- be as creative as you like! We will be judging the entries from each class on originality and how much work the children have contributed.
Manor Adventure Trip
The payment cards for next year’s Year 6 residential trip will be sent out immediately after half-term.
