2. Visitng Ysgol Y Bont During the visit the guest spent time in our school. They got to learn how we do things in a special needs school. How students communicate using different methods, e.g Makaton and PECS. Our Makaton teacher showed how talented our students are when they ‘sing and sign’ using Makaton. Also the cookery teacher worked with the older students to prepare a Welsh themed meal for the guest, this helped to develop many skills that they acquire in life. Some of the school governors came to meet our guests too. http://www.ysgolybont.com/ http://www.ysgolybont.com/
