Here are the twelve host cities of the Euro 2020 competition. Each class were given a capital city to research. Pupils learnt general information about their chosen city and presented what they learnt in various ways.
We learnt about the history of the Football Association for Wales (FAW) and about the first Welsh football match ever played.
Pupils wrote letters of good luck to Welsh players, researched and wrote non-chronological reports and first person descriptions.
Pupils learnt about the importance of a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Pupils collected data based on the most favoured player in the Welsh football team.
Football Chants
Classes learnt a football chant as part of our project. These were in Welsh and were often heard on the playground whilst pupils played football during playtimes.
Pel Pel Droed
Seren Ddyn
Pel Droed yn Dod yn Ol
As part of our project, the Criw Cymraeg worked with Welsh singer-songwriter Bronwen Lewis to write our own Euro 2020 song. Pupils discussed words and phrases they thought should be part of the lyrics and together, with the help of Bronwen they wrote our school song, Together Stronger.
