Criw Cymraeg

Cymraeg Campus Gold Award

In May 2022 we recieved our Cymraeg Campus Silver Award. This year we are continuing with our journey and striving for gold!

Logo Competition!

We ran a competition to design a new logo to represent our Criw Cymraeg. Menna designed a fantastic logo which really stood out to us. Her design featured Cwmlai Primary and a green dragon, which we thought represented us as an eco-school. Da iawn Menna!

Gold Award Display

We created a new display in the hall to inform pupils , parents and visitors of our progress on our Gold Award journey.

Home Mascot- Foundation Phase

We designed a home mascot showing the adventures of 'Dewi y Draig'. The children take Dewi on as many adventures as possible and document their adventures in a class book.

Home Mascot - KS2

We designed a home mascot showing the adventures of 'Mr Urdd'. The children take Mr Urdd on exciting adventures and document them in a class ebook.

Den Dregiau 2022

We entered CSC's Den Dregiau 2022 with a pitch to fund playground signs to improve our use of welsh on the yard and encourage the children to play welsh games. We were lucky to win £200! Roedden ni'n lwcus!

Seren a Sparc!

We had a visit from Seren a Sbarc! They had heard how we were working on encouraging the use of welsh on the playground, they brought each class a ball to use for welsh games on the yard!

Diolch Seren a Sbarc!

Dydd Shwmae, Su'mae

To celebrate Dydd Shwmae, Su'mae we decided that we would like to encourage our parents and family members to speak welsh too. We organised for each class from years 1-6 to hold a Caffi Cymraeg. This was a huge success! Our pupils taught their parents and family members the sentence patterns that they are using in class. They engaged in games, apps and reading books together. Everyone had an enjoyable afternoon.

Diolch am gefnogi ein Caffi Cymraeg!

Urdd Jambori 2022

We participated in the Urdd Jambori Cwpan Y Byd - Wales's World Cup Singalong! We sang along with over 230,000 pupils from schools across the country. We had a visit from the BBC during the Jambori. They filmed the Jambori and interviewed children and staff, discussing their views and opinions on the welsh language. Mrs Scobie and some Year 6 pupils even featured on the BBC news, as well as Wales Online!
