A GROUP of A Level Welsh students enjoyed an opportunity to be immersed in the language and culture of Wales on a course held at a renowned outdoor centre.

The Flint High School students attended the three-day Welsh Language course at Glan-llyn which began with a warm welcome and lunch, 'croeso' and 'cinio', followed by "ice breaker'' sessions on the high ropes and around the camp fire.

Later, the students attended workshops on short stories and film and, in the evening, enjoyed an entertaining gig by the Welsh band, Gwilym, and other Welsh bands at Ysgol Y Berwyn.

The second day commenced with canoeing on the lake, and more sessions studying the drama 'Crash' as well as Welsh poetry. In the afternoon, the students attended Capel Coffa Celyn in Bala for a moving performance by Gwilym Bowen Rhys on the history of Wales through song.

On the last day the students spent time learning new techniques on how to structure the speaking exams before a short drive into Bala for an opportunity to 'siarad Cymraeg' and visit the shops.

Emma Lane, head of Year 8 and professional/senior mentor, accompanied the students.

She said: "We had a fantastic three days at Glan-llyn and the students all had a wonderful and positive experience. Having an opportunity like this enables students to really absorb the language and bring it to life; it is a hugely beneficial learning experience for them.

"I would like to give a massive 'diolch yn fawr iawn' to Llinos Jones Williams, Andrew Shurey, Dyfed Williams, Shoned Jones, Angharad Price, Hannah Wright and all of the staff at Glan-llyn for making our stay such a memorable one."

Year 3 pupils have been working on a project about space, having done stars, they are moving onto the moon.

The youngsters will be putting together their own articles and newspaper on the subject.

Class teacher Megan Hughes invited the Leader's community content editor, Claire Pierce, to give any tips for writing and presenting their work.

Pupils discussed the best way to make the most impact on a reader, and then asked Claire all about her job as a journalist.

Claire said: "I'm not sure who had the most fun, the children or me!

"It was such a pleasure to be invited, and the whole class was welcoming, engaged and engaging.

"We may have some future reporters in the making, and I can't wait to see their work."

MANAGERS from a local food production company visited Ysgol Treffynnon to talk to students about the production process and the role of technology within the business.

About 40 Year 9 business studies and ICT students participated in the visit by 2 Sisters Food Group in Deeside, which was organised through Careers Wales.

Gregory Gouri, HR manager, and Miroslava Koleva, production manager, gave a presentation describing the company's production process, as well as explaining how they appoint and train their staff, and the apprenticeship programme that the company offers.

They also discussed the importance of ICT within their business, and how the current economic climate is having an impact on their business and their products.

Afterwards, the students too part in a question and answer session, and completed a quiz with an overview of the information from the presentation including facts and figures about the business. At the end of the visit, every student was given a goody bag which contained a branded flask.

Natalie Holmes, business and ICT teacher and careers coordinator, helped facilitate the visit.

She said: "This was a fantastic opportunity for students to gain an insight into the workings of a real-life food production company.

"Gregory and Miroslava gave an excellent overview of the business and linked their production and business activities into the topics we cover in class really well, which will support the students' understanding of business and ICT.

"The students were thoroughly engaged to learn the processes, understand the end destination for the products, and learn how modern technology plays such an important role in all aspects of the business.

"I would like to say a big thank you to Gregory and Miroslava for such an enjoyable, informative visit."

Kayleigh Brummel, Careers Wales, said: "Careers Wales plans and facilitates employer led events for secondary schools across Wales to inform, motivate and inspire young people about their career opportunities.

"Presentations like the 2 Sister's one at Ysgol Treffynnon help to improve a learner's knowledge and perception of various sectors and industry and develop their understanding of different jobs. Such visits help them to understand the link between their studies and the world of work."

Other trips coming up for the business and ICT students include visiting Liverpool City Centre, Ardagh Engineering in Deeside, and Airbus UK, Broughton.
