Shwmae! We used our Welsh on 14th Oct!

On Tuesday 14 October, pupils and staff at the school took part in Diwrnod Shwmae or 'Shwmae Day', which is a national celebration of the Welsh language. 

A special effort was made to start conversations in Welsh and to use as much Welsh as possible. Also, the Year 7 and 8 Clwb Cymraeg (Welsh Club) created a collage to mark the occasion and the staff who learn Welsh once a week after school joined in the fun too! The Welsh department would like to thank pupils and staff for their enthusiasm!

Hwyl yn y Clwb Cymraeg

A full classroom of pupils came to the first Clwb Cymraeg of the year!

They took part in a competition to build the highest tower possible out of spaghetti, marshmallows and sellotape. A group of Year 7 boys won a box of Celebrations!

Da iawn to everybody who took part. The next Clwb Cymraeg will be the same time, same place next week - Dydd Mawrth, 12.30 in B1C.

Beth wyt ti'n feddwl o Clwb Cymraeg?

The Welsh Department and the Urdd need your help. Do you have any ideas or suggestions on how you would like the Clwb Cymraeg to run from September?

Sion from the Urdd has been working with us over the past two weeks to show examples of what we could be doing in a KS3 Clwb Cymraeg. We have run Coginio Cymraeg and Sgiliau Syrcas. What other activities would you like to do in Clwb Cymraeg? When would you like it to run?

Leave a comment below to let us know what you think.

Diolch yn fawr!

Sgiliau Syrcas yn y Clwb Cymraeg

Mwynheuodd disgyblion blwyddyn 7 ac 8 ymarfer eu sgiliau syrcas heddiw - ac ymarfer eu Cymraeg.

Daeth Sion o'r Urdd i gynnal gweithdai gyda'r disgyblion yn ystod yr wythnos gweithgareddau. Bydd e nol eto bore dydd Mercher.

Pupils from years 7 and 8 practiced their circus skills today - and practice their Welsh too.

Sion from the Urdd held workshops with the pupils during activities week. He will be back again Wednesday morning.

Coginio Cymraeg

Cafodd disgyblion blwyddyn 7 ac 8 llawer o hwyl amser cinio heddiw yn coginio cacen gaws.

Daeth Sion o'r Urdd i dreulio awr gyda'r disgyblion i goginio trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Roedd y gacen gaws yn flasus iawn, fel gallwch chi weld yn y lluniau...

Coginio Cymraeg!
