Following a
first welcome meeting back in November in Barcelona, we were relishing
the process of preparing for the next stage of their Comenius in Wales. The
Comenius project is designed to develop international links between schools
across Europe which allows opportunities for teachers from each school to visit
every school involved in the circle. The international partners from Spain,France, Poland, Turkey and Romania visited Ysgol Bryn Hedydd on 20th
March.

They had an exciting day commencing with some of the year 6 pupils acting
as tour guides showing them around of what the school had to offer.

They were
fascinated to see how the ‘Bws Dysgu’ was used as an extra learning space.

allowed the teachers to have first-hand experience with our range of ipads and
ipods of which they used to record experiences with during their stay.

During the
afternoon, we took our Comenius partners down with our year 2 pupils to
experience a lesson on the beach. As a Beach School, this was one of the most
anticipated parts for them as the majority of the schools we are linked with
are located hundreds of miles from the beach!

Our partners
stayed with us for 3 days and during the second day of their stay, we took them
on a tour of a North Wales to show them the many delights we had to offer. The
Great Orme, Snowdonia and Betws-y-Coed were amongst the beautiful places on the
day list and this gave us many opportunities to discuss the many similarities
and differences we had between our schools.

The final
day consisted with the pupils of Ysgol Bryn Hedydd putting on a service for our
Comenius partners; singing and performances that left our partners with very
fond memories and experiences of the school to take back and share to their
countries.
The next chapter of the Comenius will take place in June where four
members of staff from Ysgol Bryn Hedydd will visit Poland in the hope for an
exciting experience to bring back to Wales.
