YOUNG VOICES

Massive thank you to all the staff who made this possible and of course to the amazing choir themselves!

It may have been a long day and a late night, but lots of precious memories were made and we think it was worth it!

Shall we sign up for next year?

Classes had an extra surprise today when the YV Choir spotted themselves on BBC Newsround!

Year 5 - Transition

Our Year 5's had a wonderful day at the Alun school on Tuesday 4th February. Alun staff were very complementary of our children's manners, effort and behaviour and the Y5s had a great time too, enjoying some new classes. Da iawn.

AUTHOR VISIT!

We are delighted to say that author and illustrator Ramzee will be visiting Ysgol Sychdyn on the morning of 17th February!

A message from the Bookshop Mold

Author - Illustrator RAMZEE (Ramsey Hassan) will be visiting Ysgol Sychdyn on Monday 17th February to talk about his books The Cheat Book 1 & The Cheat Book 2.

Ramzee brings to life the laugh-out-loud The Cheat Book in his event for schools. He’ll explain the creative process behind his brand-new middle-grade series, what a cheat book actually is and how he developed the distinctive voice of Kamal. Drawing on his experiences as a cartoonist, storyteller and coming to the UK as a refugee, Ramzee’s inspiring session engages children’s creativity whether they are avid readers, budding young writers and illustrators or reluctant readers. There will be plenty of opportunities for children to get involved including a ‘What would Kamal do?’ quiz and an interactive draw-along.

To pre-order either of Ramzee's Cheat Books, please click on the following link https://www.mold-bookshop.co.uk/collections/ramzee-school-visit-to-ysgol-sychdyn

Books can be pre-ordered here, please put your child's name and year group in the notes. There will also be books available to buy on the day

Ramzee will sign the books for the children.

The books will be given to the children on the day
