Thread Name: Need a simple Welsh song
Subject: Need a simple Welsh song
One of my colleagues is leaving the school at the end of a long spell teaching, and we want to do something special for him. He is Welsh (I think from Pontardawe originally), so I wondered if we could teach the children a simple Welsh song to sing for him. He was at one time our maths coordinator, so a counting song might be a good idea. Or might there be one with a goodbye theme? He has most recently been teaching children with learning difficulties, so, if we are to include them, it needs to be very simple indeed. We have two more Welsh teachers who could help with the pronunciation. I have words and music to one called "Migildi, Magildi" (sp?), and have heard that the meaning of "Sospan Vach" is child suitable - but the tune isn't, I think. Any help?
