The use of incidental Welsh in the classroom
Teaching staff use incidental Welsh to give basic commands throughout the day
Pupils use Welsh incidentally when expressing basic needs e.g. Ga i fynd i'r ty bach os gwelwch yn dda? Ga i bensil os gwelwch yn dda?
Each class has established the "Helpwr Heddiw" initiative
Each day we choose a Helpwr Heddiw to lead our sessions and carry out tasks throughout the day.
We also have a Welsh phrase of the fortnight, which we practice during Helpwr Heddiw sessions.
We love taking part in Helpwr Heddiw sessions each day. Our Helpwr Heddiw leads the session and we use the sentence patterns to help us practice. We play lots of games and learn lots of new vocabulary.
The date is written in Welsh on the whiteboard and in pupils workbooks in most subjects
