Cynefin: Cynefin is a Welsh word that cannot be directly translated into English but means a place of multiple belongings. To ensure our pupils develop Cynefin we will be celebrating the great Welsh outdoors, we will be looking at helping our local Gower farmers and seeing if we can set up our own Llanrhidian Fairtrade fayre! We know how good our Pili-Pala's are at looking after our environment so we will be helping our visitors in the air in the January Big School Birdwatch.
