Cymraeg Ail Iaith / Second Language Welsh
At Baden Powell Primary School the Welsh Language is very important and we pride ourselves in providing pupils with the opportunities to develop Welsh language skills throughout the day.
We use a language continuum across the school to develop our knowledge of vocabulary and sentence patterns.
If you click the links below, they will take you to the continuum for the language patterns and the same document but with audio. The vocabulary and sentence patterns are split up into themes and separated for progression step 1, progression step 2 and progression step 3.
In the audio version, you can click on the play button to hear the Welsh being spoken. This is very helpful if you are not confident with Welsh yourself, but would like to help your child with it at home.
Welsh Continuum of Learning (with audio)
Cymraeg Campus
The simple objective of the Siarter Iaith Cymraeg Campus is to provide a clear framework, which can be used to promote and increase the use of Welsh by children in the whole school. In a nutshell, the Siarter Iaith Cymraeg Campus’ main aim is to promote a strong Welsh ethos in schools and to provide a range of enriching activities that propel the children to enjoy learning Welsh.
We have already achieved our Bronze award and are currently working towards acheiving our Silver (for more information click here).
All the staff in the school community play a part in this, but the majority of the work is done by our very competent Criw Cymraeg.
Criw Cymraeg
We are the Criw Cymraeg of Baden Powell Primary School. We have two members from each class, from Year 1 to Year 6. You will spot us around the school as we wear a Criw Cymraeg lanyard.
What we do
- We introduce and promote the Phrase of the Fortnight every week in our celebration assembly.
- We play Welsh playground games in the playgrounds. Our favourite is ' Faint o'r Gloch Mr Blaidd'.
- We set competitions for Welsh.
- We help during Welsh assemblies.
- We support the adults around the school and encourage them to speak Welsh.
