In September, Newton Primary School embarked on a 400 mile round trip to London to compete in ‘The School Song UK‘ final. The group represented Wales in a national songwriting competition that featured schools from all corners of the Britain. They gave an outstanding performance of our original song ‘Back to the sixties’ and it was a hugely proud moment for all the children, parents and the school. They are such a talented and enthusiastic group and were one of only ten other schools who qualified for the final from over 1000 entries.
It was a brilliant day and the children gave absolutely everything but just finished outside the top 3. The standard of the talent was incredibly high and the winning school gave an amazing performance. The atmosphere in the event was very supportive, encouraging and appreciative. We are so grateful for the opportunity to participate and are already planning next years entry.๐

As part of our Topic 'Cymru Am Byth', we composed and recorded our own song about Wales. Well done everyone it sounds fantastic!
