Children from the Flintshire primary school took part in the first round of the Urdd Eisteddfod, held at Ysgol Bryn Coch.

The competition involved local schools with both first language Welsh and Welsh learners taking part.

Seven children took part in the individual reciting competition and had to perform their poem in front of a judge.

One Year 4 pupil went through to the next round. He did really well and was placed third.

Also taking part were a group of children who had to perform a poem on the main stage and they have now gone through to the next round, which will be held in Wrexham in a few weeks time.

All at Ysgol Ty Ffynnon are extremely proud of all the children who took part, they worked extremely hard to learn the poem, with the help and support of Lowri Drew.

The children and staff of the Federation have been working very hard over the past weeks, creating pieces of work for their yearly Federation Eisteddfod. Made up of Froncysyllte CP School, Ysgol y Garth and Ysgol Pentre, the schools come together each year to celebrate St David’s Day.

Categories this year included Welsh art, photography, recitations and biographical writing, ready to impress their judges, Revd Val Hughes and Buddug Selway-Jones. Each school’s Welsh committee, the Criw Cymraeg, gave a reading in Welsh, moving one step closer to achieving their Cymraeg Campus Bronze Award later this year.

Children dressed up in the colours of Wales and waved the Welsh flag, took part in traditional Welsh dancing and showcased Welsh songs. A brilliant morning celebrating being proud to be Welsh!
