Hello,
Croeso to the Siarter Iaith section of our website. We have a Criw Cymraeg who are responsible for helping us achieve 100 Welsh related targets that make up the Siarter Iath. Here you will find information and various pictures, videos and activities relating to celebration days targets we are working towards and Welsh visitors that support us in our Welsh language journey.
Autumn 2025
Urdd
This term, we are delighted to have 55 pupils enrolled as Urdd members, reflecting the strong enthusiasm within our school for Welsh culture, language and extra-curricular opportunities. Our pupils have taken part in a range of activities organised through the Urdd, beginning with both the CogUrdd and PobUrdd cooking and baking competitions held in school. The pupils entered many and varied different types of sandwiches and cakes, it was a very difficult job judging them all. We are incredibly proud that two pupils progressed to the regional round, where they represented the school on 17.11.2025 with confidence and enthusiasm.
Sport has also been a major part of our Urdd involvement this term. Pupils have competed in a number of competitions, including Year 5 & 6 girls’ netball, Year 5 & 6 mixed football, Year 3 & 4 mixed football, and Year 5 & 6 girls’ football. In all events, pupils showed outstanding sportsmanship, determination and teamwork, helping to strengthen our school’s presence within the wider Urdd community.
In addition to competitions, our Year 4 pupils enjoyed an exciting Urdd residential trip to Cardiff Bay. During the residential, pupils took part in a variety of engaging activities and cultural experiences that helped them develop independence, confidence and new friendships. The trip also provided opportunities for pupils to use Welsh in real-life contexts while exploring one of Wales’s most vibrant cultural locations. We would like to thank Miss E Noon, Mrs R Thorne and Mrs J Jackson for giving up their time to take them.
Criw Cymraeg
Our Criw Cymraeg pupils have been working exceptionally hard on preparing our whole-school Criw Cymraeg assembly. Every pupil has been allocated an important role, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to contribute and take pride in promoting the Welsh language. As part of the preparation, pupils designed colourful and engaging posters highlighting the importance of speaking Welsh in everyday school life. These posters have been displayed around the school to encourage pupils and staff to use more Welsh vocabulary and phrases throughout the day.
In addition to the assembly work, the Criw Cymraeg pupils created a cheerful ‘Shwmae!’ video to celebrate Diwrnod Shwmae. The video was shared on X, helping us promote the spirit of the day beyond our school community. To mark the celebration, all pupils came to school dressed in red, white or green—the colours of the Welsh flag—which added to the sense of pride and excitement. Overall, the project has not only strengthened pupils’ confidence in using Welsh but has also helped to foster a positive, inclusive Welsh-speaking culture across the school.
