Mrs Stapeley and Mrs Jarvis visit Romania as part of the Comenius Programme
Mrs Jarvis took the minutes in the teacher meeting which was attended by 26 teachers from 9 European countries. We planned work for our pupils which we will all share during the final visit in Barker's Lane in May 2010.
We presented the Romanian
class 3C with a Welsh outfit, flag, Welsh book, picture of Reception in
their Welsh outfits and some fudge. They were delighted with all the gifts.
They gave Mrs Stapley and Mrs Jarvis, fresh flowers and Spring broaches.
These broaches are worn by all Romanian women on 1st March and they have
white and red tassels which signify saying goodbye to the white cold winter
and welcoming new life with red.
We spent an enjoyable hour or so with the class but would have loved to stay longer. They asked us questions about Wales in English, sang us Romanian songs and sang the Welsh weather song. Mrs Stapley and Mrs Jarvis sang Welsh songs, read a Welsh story, Lliwiau hapus and the storysack version of the Very Hungry Caterpillar. Then we shared the fudge something they had never tasted before but they enjoyed it!
The teachers take a break from work and built a snowman. We had lots of fun in Romania with all our European colleagues.

Saint David's Day - Dydd Gw^yl Dewi Sant
Saint David's Day (Welsh: Dydd Gw^yl Dewi Sant) is the feast day of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales, and falls on 1 March each year. The date of 1 March was chosen in remembrance of the death of Saint David on that day in 589, and has been celebrated by followers since then. The date was declared a national day of celebration within Wales in the 18th century.
