Celebrating cultural diversity shows that there are different languages out there. Discuss with parents noting down key words that are used regularly. These can be used to interact with the child. Word games and activities such as pictures and number lotto can help the child learn and improve their English. Show interest in children's conversation about their culture. Plan to celebrate key festivals. Always make the child feel valued and welcome. Learn sign language so that you can communicate important words to the child. Contact a interpreter for additional help if needed.

What was the aberfan disaster?
On Friday, 21 October 1966, at 09:15, colliery waste tip number 7 (containing unwanted rock from the local mine) slid down Merthyr Mountain. As it collapsed, it destroyed twenty houses and a farm before going on to demolish virtually all of Pantglas Junior School and part of the separate senior school. The pupils had just left the assembly hall, where they had been singing "All Things Bright and Beautiful", when a great noise was heard outside. Had they left for their classrooms a few minutes later, the loss of life would have been significantly reduced, as the classrooms were on the side of the building nearest the landslide. In total 144 people were killed, 116 of whom were children, most of them between the ages of seven and ten. Five teachers were also killed in the accident. Only a handful of children were rescued from the rubble. Lord Robens of Woldingham, chairman of the National Coal Board (NCB), did not rush to the scene; he instead went to accept an appointment as chancellor of the University of Surrey. Subsequently, he misrepresented the cause of the slide to the community and falsely claimed that nothing could have been done to prevent it. Robens never apologised. At the Tribunal of Inquiry into the Aberfan Disaster the NCB was found responsible for the disaster, due to "ignorance, ineptitude and a failure of communication". The collapse was found to have been caused by a build-up of water in the pile and, when a small rotational slip occurred, the disturbance caused the saturated, fine material of the tip to liquefy (thixotropy) and flow down the mountain. In 1958, the tip had been sited on a known stream (as shown on earlier Ordnance Survey maps) and had previously suffered several minor slips. Its instability was known, both to colliery management and to tip workers, but very little was done about it. Merthyr Tydfil Borough Council and the National Union of Mineworkers were cleared of any wrongdoing. No NCB employee was sacked, demoted or even disciplined. The NCB was ordered to pay compensation to the families at the rate of £500 per child. After lengthy appeals, part of the fund was used to make the remainder of the waste tip safe and the Coal Board avoided the costs of doing the whole job from its own resources. The Labour government paid back the £150,000 in 1997, although taking account of inflation this should have been £1.5M. Merthyr Vale Colliery was closed in 1989. The closure was not associated with the accident. The Government of the time has deemed it appropriate to close such product across the UK.

Can welsh and Irish understand each other?
Welsh and Irish are both classified as Celtic languages but are too different for mutual comprehension. Irish and Scottish Gaelic would be more mutually intelligible.
Why do Welsh people wear a leek on the 1st March?
The first of March is St Savid's day. St David is the patron saint of Wales. The leek, like the daffodil, is a symbol of Wales. So, many people wear a Welsh symbol on their patron saint's feast day, in the same way that many people Irish people wear shamrock on St Patrick's day.
What is the national dance of Wales?
There is no designated national dance for Wales, but as in other parts of the UK in the past there was maypole dancing too celebrate spring.
The North Wales town of Abergele is in Conwy County Borough.
However for the purposes of postal address, the Royal Mail advise is to use Clwyd as the county, so as to prevent confusion with the town of Conwy.
What year did arthur the king of wales die in?
No-one is sure whether King Arthur existed at all- he may be a mythological figure, or if he DID exist it may have been in the Dark Ages when little was chronicled or archived to tell us about those times. So if he WAS real, it's impossible to know the year of his death.
Both Wales and England claim him as being an ancient Royal hero in an idealised, apocryphal time of courtly valour and fighting the good fight against evil. But in reality, his very existence is shrouded in mystery and he may be the stuff of folk legend.
Should Wales secede from the UK?
Yes. Most Welsh people have a unique Welsh Celtic culture, and they should be completely independent from the UK and form their own republic.
English is the most spoken language in Wales, with almost all of the population being able to speak English. Welsh is only spoken by about 460,000 people.
Yes, Alaska covers 1,717,854 square kilometers where as Wales only covers 20,761.
What did wales used to look like?
