Woodland Festival


On Thursday, years 3 & 4 went to Carreglwyd estate in Llanfaethlu to take part in the Woodlands Festival.
There was a dazzling aray of brightly coloured wellington boots leading for the bus that morning as the weather forecast was grim!
Various activities had been arranged, there was a walk in the woods to find and recognise all kinds of trees and shrubs, from blackberries and acorns to bay leaves and hazelnuts.
Learning how to safely light a camp fire, and better still how to toast marshmallows over it was a great success.
There were craft activities too, everyone enjoyed making real or imaginary creatures from bits of old card, paper and fabric - rubbish infact!
One of the highlights of the day was eating a picnic lunch by the lake in the warm Autunm sunshine. ( the weather man was quite wrong)
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day and all that remains now is to find a home for all those re-cycled creatures that the children brought back to school with them!

Fel rhan o Wyl Goedwig Ynys Mon, ymwelodd plant Blwyddyn 3 a 4 a'r Garreg Lwyd ger Llanfaethlu. Cymerodd y plant ran mewn amrywiaeth o weithgareddau yn cynnwys gwneud tan yn y goedwig, crasu 'marshmallows', ac adeiladu creaduriaid dychmygol allan o sbwriel. Cyn dychwelyd yn ol i'r ysgol cafodd pawb bicnic ar lan y llyn.
