Our Criw Cymraeg is made up of representatives of pupils from Years 2 through to Year 6. Two pupils from each year group are elected during the Autumn Term. They meet throughout the year to promote Welsh and develop the Siarter Iaith across the school. They decide which targets they are going to work on and develop an action plan to work on these throughout the year.
Dylan Daff
Our Criw Cymraeg came up with the idea of creating a Welsh mascot competition and Dylan Daff was the winner! Dylan Daff is our Welsh school mascot and he can be found all around the school in classrooms and on displays. He promotes Welsh phrases and helps our children learn new incidental Welsh.
CRIW CYMRAEG ACTION PLAN 2023-24:
What is the Welsh Cymraeg Campus Language Charter?
The Welsh government are hoping to to have one million Welsh speakers by 2050.
The Welsh Language charter has been introduced to help achieve this goal. ‘Cymraeg Campus’ provides a framework which can be used to promote a strong Welsh ethos in schools.
At Llwydcoed we have appointed a ‘Criw Cymraeg’ to drive this charter forward.
The main aim of the charter is to promote and increase the use of Welsh by children in a whole school context. We want to inspire our children and young people to use Welsh in every aspect of their lives. This includes the whole Llwydcoed Primary School community – the pupils, the school council, the staff, the parents and the governors. We wish to promote a strong Welsh ethos in Llwydcoed and to provide a range of enriching activities to ensure that all children enjoy learning Welsh.
What are the advantages of the Welsh Cymraeg Campus Language Charter?
Raising the standard of the children’s spoken Welsh will have a positive effect on their educational attainment. Research shows that bilingual children achieve better results. We are enthusiastic to work with all parents to raise the amount of Welsh spoken in school.
What our criw cymraeg do:
- Promote a Welsh ethos in Llwydcoed Primary School by encouraging learners to speak Welsh by giving out tocyn iaiths and weekly awards;
- Implement Siarter Iaith Cymraeg Campus and gather evidence to achieve our school targets;
- Support Welsh games on the yard;
- Help run Welsh assemblies;
- Deliver the Patrwm yr Wythnos in assembly.
Our Awards!
