Students in Year 7, 8 and 9 have produced some fantastic, creative responses with their Eisteddfod homework. Each year we set a challenge for students to create a piece of work based on a fitting Eisteddfod theme. Every competition entry receives house points, with more points awarded for those who receive a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.

Year 7 students were asked to create a piece of Celtic jewellery or a Celtic shield.  We have been overwhelmed and amazed with the staggering amount of Celtic shields and Celtics jewellery that were made, with students impressing us with their dedication, creativity and skill. We have never had such an impressive number of Celtic shields.

Year 8 were set the task of creating a 2D or 3D model of their local church or chapel.

Some students used their model making skills learned in class, creating 3D churches, some used collage and others impressed us with their drawing and painting skills capturing their local church.

Year 9, students had the challenge of drawing a Welsh icon using 2D media of their choice. Entries ranged from the legendary Faithful dog, Gelert to footballer, Gareth Bale.

It was a challenge to choose a 1st, 2nd and 3rd due to the exceptional standard of work.
