RHYL pupils met and chatted with older residents as efforts were made to break down generational barriers.

As part of Sally Holland's, the children's commissioner for Wales, "special mission", Lily Tudball, Kyran Foulkes, Alfie Jones and Jacqueline Warwick at Ysgol Llywelyn organised the intergenerational celebration.

Super ambassadors invited residents of Bryn Estyn and Bradshaw Manor in Rhyl and arranged a morning of tea and coffee.

Parents of the school choir were also invited and entertainment was provided.

Geraint Rowe, head of learning of year five and six at Ysgol Llywelyn, said: "The children did exceptionally well, from the super ambassadors organising the event, the performance of the choir and the socialising after.

"We are always giving the children of our school opportunities to help others and their community and better their own perspectives on the world."

The school choir was led by Gweda Porteous. Traditional Welsh songs were sung, including Calon Lan and Hen fenyw fach Cydweli.

Both the older and younger generations played board games, practised their Welsh and chatted. One boy brought in some knitting which one of the Bryn Estyn residents completed for him.

Edith Taylor, of Bryn Estyn, said: "I enjoyed attending. It is an excellent school with well mannered children."

Freda Delves and Alice Stott from Bradshaw Manor added: "The singing was wonderful from all the children. We really enjoyed the Welsh songs."
