CHILDREN from a Welsh-language school in Newport will be on our screens later this month taking on a spooky challenge.
A group of pupils from Ysgol Gwent Is Coed in Duffryn are taking part in the S4C series Gwrach y Rhibyn (The Witch of Rhibyn).
The team - Amber, Ayub, Armani and Macsen - will take on three other squads from other schools as they compete to reach a safe shelter before sunset - but not everyone will make it to the end.
Mali Tudno Jones, actress and narrator said: “The teams are so brave! They have to solve every challenge to find safety.

They face extreme challenges such as abseiling waterfalls, white water rafting, climbing, and sea kayaking, all against the clock.
The other shcools taking part are Glan y Mor (Gwynedd), Bro Teifi (Ceredigion) and Maes Garmon (Flintshire).
The prize for succeeding in each game is a new set of coordinates which will guide them closer to safety.
The eight-part series returns to S4C on Thursday, October 27, at 5.35pm, or online on S4C Clic.
