After a lot of hard work, the Criw Cymraeg at Clydach Primary are pleased to announce that we achieved the bronze award of the Siarter Iaith. Mrs Sian Wilson came to our school to present us with the award at the end of the Summer Term 2019.

This morning the Criw Cymraeg took part in a learning walk. We filled in a form on HWB to find out how much Welsh is in each class.

Last year we went to Birchgrove Cluster meeting to learn some playground games using Welsh. When we returned to Clydach we taught the games to Ks1. Recently we have have revisited our project and have taught some of the games to lower Ks2. We have played Bowlen Ffrwythau, Gwnewch Grwp and Gem Rasio. The games were simple to play and we learnt new words for fruits in Welsh like: peren ( which is pear) and eirin ( which is plum).

This Spring term we, the Criw Cymraeg, have been working hard to support the development of Welsh language. Below are some of the activities that we have been involved with:
1) We have taken on a greater role in our weekly Welsh assembly, by speaking in Welsh to the whole school.
2) We helped plan our school Eisteddfod, choosing the competitions for the junior department.
3) We have made posters on our Welsh day to encourage others to use Welsh.
4) We have helped set up online votes and discussions on the HWB platform.

Yesterday, we had our school Eisteddfod. We thoroughly enjoyed finding out the winners of all the competitions and the winner of the whole Eisteddfod, which was Ty Melyn!! 🏆🥇
