Over 1,000 schoolchildren join Jambori for lively Welsh singalong

Rhosllannerchrugog has been transformed into a lively and vibrant hub of activity as part of the Jambori.

Over three days last week, the Stiwt theatre hosted 1,639 excited schoolchildren, filling the air with their joyous voices during a memorable singalong of Welsh language songs.

A Jambori is an end-of-term event that brings together both English Language and Welsh Language schools, providing them a unique opportunity to unite in song.

It showcases cultural richness that fosters community and celebrates the vibrant Welsh language through music and dance.

The Jambori showed an incredible display of enthusiasm and energy from the participating children, who had been bused in from across the region.

Two sessions a day of around 350 young voices reverberated throughout the theatre, creating an unbelievably deafening yet heartwarming atmosphere.

The infectious joy was further amplified as the children danced, cheered, and sang at the top of their lungs, fully immersing themselves in the spirit of the occasion.

Organisers recognised that expecting 350 young children to memorise the same songs would be tough challenge.

In preparation schools received carefully crafted packs in advance to facilitate learning the songs and dances during their music and Welsh lessons throughout the year to ensure maximum enjoyment and impact.

The Jambori is a thrilling experience for the children and a testament to the commitment of educators and volunteers who work tirelessly to instil a sense of cultural pride and appreciation in the younger generation.

The event represents the culmination of their efforts, bringing together schools from various backgrounds.

In Wales, the Jambori has been a cherished tradition for years, leaving a lasting impression on everyone involved.
