Dafydd from Blenheim Road Community Primary School visited the C.R. Jakobson school in Torma, Estonia. During his trip, he went on nature walks through Endla Forest, visited the local kindergarten and basic school classes, and participated in the Torma Olympics with teams from Wales, Spain, Belgium and Slovakia. Dafydd enjoyed learning about Estonian culture and making new friends at the school, and was sad to say goodbye at the end of his visit.
