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.

The
annual visit to Boreatton Park by Yrs 5/6 takes place in March
