That the colloquial Welsh for a microwave oven is "popty ping".
(Though the official term is "popty microdon".)

I've only ever heard english people refer to it as a popty ping, although maybe I didn't grow up in the right part of Wales for it.

We try to find something for everyone, Spiced Apple, so, as a little one form entry primary school, at some point children have the chance to play golf, gymnastics, orienteering, cross country, rugby, football, netball, benchball, dance, cheerleading etc etc (as well as sewing club, crochet club, cooking club, music club, choir, drama...). We only have 9 teachers but buy in some training coaches - the handball is being taught by the coach while we watch and learn. It's a great game. We were inspired by the Olympics!

Wow, you're offering a lot of activities! 
Handball is very popular in Germany, but I don't think I've ever heard of it being played here.
