* The greetings card designed by Bronagh Cooke
of Ysgol Gymraeg y Gwernant.
A six-year-old pupil at a Llangollen primary school has risen to the creative challenge set by the county council.
Whilst schools remain closed to most pupils, Denbighshire Education and Children’s Services has been offering opportunities for children and their families to engage creatively with them online.
January’s
creative challenge invited pupils to find out about St Dwynwen’s
Day - the Welsh equivalent of Valentine’s Day - and design their own
greetings card.
Celebrated
every year on 25 January, St Dwynwen’s Day commemorates the Welsh saint of
lovers and has risen in popularity in Wales in recent years, with lovers
exchanging gifts such as Welsh love spoons and even concerts and parties are
held on that date.
More than 100 children responded to the competition and entries
were of so high a standard that judges said it was difficult to produce a shortlist and
even tougher to select winners.
The winners
are:
Up to 7
years:
BRONAGH COOKE,
Ysgol Gymraeg y Gwernant, Llangollen
7 to 11
years:
GRACE ALLSOPP,
Ysgol Bryn Hedydd, Rhyl
12 to 14
years:
EMMA
DALLIMORE, St Brigid’s School, Denbigh
