Ysgol Maelgwyn pupils bring festive sparkle to Plas Blodwel

Young pupils from Ysgol Maelgwyn in Llandudno Junction have taken part in an all-school Christmas competition to design and produce the best festive decoration.

Over 100 pupils took part in the Christmas Decoration challenge, set by North Wales Housing that saw a huge array of colourful designs produced and submitted for the competition. The offices of North Wales Housing sit almost opposite Ysgol Maelgwyn in Plas Blodwel, and the school challenge has been a great opportunity for the two to come together at Christmas.

Chief Executive of North Wales Housing, Paul Diggory, judged the decorations and was delighted with the results. He said:

“What a brilliant, imaginative and creative bunch of decorations! I am incredibly impressed by the ideas submitted, making it really difficult to choose a winning four.”

Four children from four different age groups were chosen and presented with gift tokens.

Paul added:

“Congratulations to the winners whose decorations will now sit amongst all other Ysgol Maelgwyn colourful trinkets on our tree at the head office.”

The judging event was held as part of the school’s annual Christmas Fayre and representatives from North Wales Housing joined staff, pupils, parents and even reindeer during the afternoon that for many marked the start of the festive season.
