05.12.13 Writing Penpal Letters - Ysgrifennu Llythyren

12/4/2013

PictureSome of the letters we received.
Ysgrifennu llythren at ein ffrindiau newydd. Writing letters to our new penpals.
This week, we were excited to receive letters from children at St. James CE Junior School, Cumbria, England. The children are taught by Mrs. Amanda Stephens, a friend of Mr. Evans, who used to teach at Llangewydd. They want to link up with our school and are keen to become penpals with us. We enjoyed reading the letters written by the children from Cumbria. It was interesting to read all about their school and their local area - Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria in the north of England. The children have sent us their school brochure as well as many interesting leaflets about attractions and places of interest in their area.

In our English lessons this week, we have been drafting our replies to our new penpals. We have written informal letters and have focused on sharing information with our penpals about our school - our classes, teachers, clubs, activities etc. We have also tried to include some handy Welsh words and phrases that our new friends can try out at their school! We have enjoyed describing what sort of place Bridgend is - what there is to see and do here. Our letters have been well set-out with a suitable address and use of clear paragraphs.

We thoroughly enjoyed writing our letters to our new penpals and will be posting them at the end of this week. We will send our friends our own school prospectus as well as leaflets about places of interest in the Bridgend area. We are looking forward to hearing from St. James' CE Junior School again in the near future. In the meantime, why not take a look at their school website at www.stjamesjun-bif.cumbria.sch.uk?

Hi Aliyah. How is Bryntirion Comprehensive? We didn't do this last year as we weren't in contact with St. James' school. I'm glad you think it's a good idea though.
