Tavernspite CP School held a school Eisteddfod on St. David's Day.

The children entered a number of Welsh art competitions before the day and scored points for their houses.

On the day itself, there were many musical competitions in which the children took part. The performances were excellent. The school was very grateful to Miss Wynne Jones, former teacher at Tavernspite School, who had the extremely difficult job of adjudicator for the day.

The highlight of the Eisteddfod was when the Bardic Crown and Chair were presented.

Following Eisteddfod tradition, the Crown and the Chair were presented to the best poets in the school.

Cameron Owen in the infants won the Crown, with Emily Holliday in the juniors winning the Chair.

The Bardic ceremony was traditional with the call 'A oes heddwch?' Is there peace? called three times before the Crown and Chair can sit in the peace of the Eisteddfod.

The Cloaks, Crowns and Chairs were made by Class 3 and 4 as an art project, with the help of Miss Jenny Hills. They were outstanding.

It was a very exciting day, which was filmed by a television crew filming for National Geographic.

Many congratulations to the 'Red House' - 'Ty Goch' who were the winning house and collected the School House shield.

Headteacher Kevin Phelps said: "It was a wonderful Eisteddfod this year and great that so many children took part in so many different competitions.

"We feel it is very important to recognise the special culture and traditions of Wales and this is the perfect way of doing that."
