Half-term fun at Trefor
There was
plenty to keep the children and young people
of Trefor occupied over half term as the
Clwb Hwyl a Sbri and Clwb Chwarae Teg! held
all sorts of exciting activities. Llinos
Roberts explains what went on.
MORE FUN AND GAMES
Two
mornings packed with activities for the
children were held in the Centre at Trefor
during half term. We were grateful to Kelly
and Miriam for oranising all the kids'
activities, and for holding the lively
events. Miriam and Kelly are seventeen and
are gaining a lot from their experiences
helping out with the Kids' Club under the
guidance of Llinos Roberts, Trefor Christian
Community Worker. There were games, races,
parachute games, biscuit-decorating and
craft. We were also visited by two other
VIPs - Mirain and Esyllt called by as they
were visiting their gran. Mirain and Esyllt
act on S4C's soap Pobol y Cwm and they
joined us for parachute games. Thank you
everyone who joined in the fun!
CLWB CHWARAE TEG (THE FAIR PLAY CLUB)!
The Clwb
Chwarae Teg! celebrated the Chinese New Year
during half term. What better way to do this
than to go for a Chinese meal!
As we enjoyed the food we also
had a chance to learn about the New Year
celebrations. As we read facts to each other
about Chinese traditions, it became clear that
some customs were very similar to ours here in
Wales. The Chinese New Year started on
February 14 this year and on New Year's eve it
is customary for families to get together and
cook dumplings - a piece of silver is placed in
one and whoever has that one will have good
luck! Red paint is very important to the Chinese
in their New Year's decorations - a lucky
colour. On the morning of the New Year it is
customary to give pouches of money as gifts to
the children. 2010 is the year of the gier and
babies born during this year will be strong and
brave, very honest and will think well of
everyone. They will also expect the same of
other people.
Did you know that using
chopsticks is a 5000-year old tradition? By now
it's the second most popular way of eating -
using fingers is the first!
