SHWMAE! 

We are Criw Cymraeg!  Croeso to our page.  Our job is to promote Welsh around the school.

CYMRAEG CAMPUS EFYDD (BRONZE) AWARD

In July 2022, we were very proud to achieve the Cymraeg Campus bronze award.  Cymraeg Campus is a Language Charter that is used to promote the use of the Welsh language throughout school, across the curriculum and in all areas of school life. Criw Cymraeg played a crucial part in achieving the award and the assessor was blown away with the presentation they delivered and their enthusiasm.  Da iawn pawb!  We are now working towards the Cymraeg Campus Arian (silver) award.

CYMRAEG CAMPUS ARIAN (SILVER) AWARD

We are now working hard to achieve the Cymraeg Campus Arian award.   There are 10 targets and lots of sub targets to achieve.  The main aims of the award continue to be to promote a positive Welsh ethos and to increase the use of Welsh in schools.  

ShWMAE DAY

We celebrated 'Diwrnod Shwmae' again this year on October 15th.  

DYDD MIWSIG CYMRU

We made our own podcast on Radio Reach to celebrate Dydd Miwsig Cymru.  As part of the show there was a whole class vote for everyone's favourite Welsh song.  Click the link below to listen to our show. 

Welsh inside the classroom

To help raise the confidence of the learners in our school, we introduced a new assessment system, focussing on 8 key questions. Children are awarded points depending on how they answer the questions e.g. 1 point for a 1 word answer, 2 points for the correct use of language pattern, 3 points if they have extended.  We made videos to help children with their responses. 

Welsh outside the classroom

To promote the use of Welsh outside the classroom, we made posters to display in the canteen to encourage children to speak Welsh. 

Dwynwen y DDRaig 

We have introduced a mascot to every year group to help encourage the use of Welsh at home.  This helps us to achieve target 2 - Welsh as a living language.  We introduced Dwynwen to our year groups.
