Exciting visit to France for Pembrokeshire school pupils
Exciting visit to France for Pembrokeshire school pupils
Last week, 60 children and 16 teaching staff visited the Bassin d'Arcachon in France as part of a Taith funded project.
The children, representing Pennar Community School, Neyland Community School, Prendergast Community School, Ysgol Penrhyn Dewi and Haverfordwest High School, engaged in a week of activities with French school children.
They visited lessons, took part in dancing, art, maths and playground games, all with the aim of developing modern foreign language skills, exploring cultural similarities and differences as well as having an overarching theme of sustainability in schools and caring for the environment.
The children explored the Dune de Pilat, the largest natural sand dune in Europe, and Biscarosse beach where they undertook beach and environmental studies.
The town of Neyland has had a twinning connection with the town of Sanguinet for more than ten years and this trip allowed these friendships to develop further and pave the way for a return visit by up to 20 French children next year.
The group was hosted by the twinning committee and the mayor at a reception in the town hall where the children had the opportunity to sample local dishes.
The children and staff were excellent ambassadors for their schools and for Pembrokeshire, laying the foundations for future collaborations.
Taith is Wales’ international learning exchange programme, with taith being Welsh for journey.
