IT has been a busy summer term for pupils at Ysgol Bro Dewi in St Davids.

Years three and four went back in time when they visited the Celtic settlement at Castell Henllys. The children were taught how to bake bread over and open fire, make a round house and cover the walls in wattle and daub. They also had their faces painted with traditional patterns.

Another group time-travellers went back to the Tudor age to take part in the opening concert of the St Davids Music Festival. Ahoy! by Alexander L'Estrange is a choral work based on the story of the Mary Rose, and the concert included primary school children, all the cathedral choirs and a folk band.

Years five and six got to see the natural world up close during a visit from the Darwin Science team. They spent the morning by the River Alun, near the cathedral, where they were finding out what sort of creatures lived in the water.

The school’s recorder group celebrated victory at this year's Urdd Eisteddfod in Bala. The children performed on the main stage and were live on S4C. "Going to north Wales and coming first is a huge achievement and the children were magnificent. They've worked hard throughout the year and we're all extremely proud of them." said their teacher Helen Evans.

Ysgol Bro Dewi pupils have also been brushing up on their swimming, cycling and running abilities.

Jayne Edwards and Kelly Lewis from Fishguard Leisure Centre came to speak to the juniors recently to tell them more about the Olympic sport of triathlon and how they can get involved.
