Ysgol Glan Morfa eisteddfod: programme and clue cards

Ysgol Glan Morfa, its eisteddfod, the judge, the prizes and the performers are invented for practice.

Part A: the programme

Ysgol Glan Morfa Eisteddfod: Friday afternoon, the Year 6 stage

Croeso! Families, carers and friends are warmly invited to the Year 6 stage of our school eisteddfod. This afternoon, 5 pupils from Year 6 will perform in the school hall. The running order is a surprise until the day.

When and where

The afternoon takes place in the school hall. Doors open at 12:45 pm. The first act starts at 1:00 pm and the last act starts at 2:00 pm. Each act has one 15-minute slot. The results will be announced at 2:30 pm.

Our judge

This year’s judge is Mrs Eleri Prys, a retired music teacher from Aberaeron. She will write comments for every performer as well as choosing the winners.

Prizes

First place wins the Glan Morfa silver cup, which the winner keeps for one year, and a £10 book token. Second place wins a £5 book token. Every performer receives a certificate and the judge’s written comments.

Notes for families

  1. Please do not clap until the end of each act.
  2. The hall doors will be closed while each act is on. If you arrive late, please wait in the corridor until the act finishes.
  3. Performers will wait quietly in the library until a Year 5 helper comes to fetch them.
  4. The harp belongs to the county music service. Please make sure that children do not touch it.
  5. Tea, coffee and Welsh cakes will be on sale in the foyer from 2:15 pm. Welsh cakes are 50p each. All money raised goes towards the Year 6 trip in the summer term.
  6. The winners’ photo will be taken on the school yard at 2:45 pm, if it is dry.

Part B: the running order puzzle

Miss Nia Tomos, the Year 6 teacher, has hidden the running order in 8 clue cards. Each of the 5 performers does one act in one time slot. Nobody performs twice.
