He praised teachers across Wales for having to think on their feet like never before to ensure children’s education was able to continue in these troubled times.
The TV presenter was one of many public figures and children who took part in a video campaign, coordinated by the Education Consortia, to thank schools for what they have done this year.

Children across Wales have decided to say a big thank you to all school staff who have supported them during 2020.
It has been an incredibly difficult year, but headteachers, teachers, teaching assistants and school support staff have made a real difference to the lives of young people in Wales.
Since the beginning of the pandemic schools have been forced to adapt, and whether that was providing remote learning to hundreds of children or remaining open during lockdown so children of key workers could be cared for, school staff have always put their pupils first.
