Gwobr Gymraeg
We are delighted to announce
the introduction of the new
‘Gwobr Gymraeg/Welsh Award’
certificates to reward excellent
work, effort and performance in
Welsh. Each class from Years 7
to 11 will have one pupil
nominated by their subject
teacher every half term for the
award where they will receive
a certificate and points for their
form/merits.
The first set of certificates have
already been presented across
the school, so huge
congratulations to those pupils
who have received a certificate!
The next awards will be
presented during the last week
before Christmas.
Llongyfarchiadau!
Nantgwrtheyrn Visit 2011
In October, Miss Jenkins and pupils from Year
13 undertook a VERY long journey to North Wales for a
four day excursion. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the visit,
where they were able to use their Welsh on a daily basis
and visited many local attractions. The pupils had the
opportunity to meet with local celebrities; poets, presenters
and rugby players – they were even filmed for S4C! We
travelled all over North Wales – from Bangor to Beaumaris
to Conwy to Dolgellau – a packed couple of days which
were hugely beneficial. A very successful course – well
worth the journey! Da iawn chi!
Incidental Welsh Lessons - For Teachers!!
A huge ‘diolch’ and ‘da iawn’ for all the teachers who attended the Incidental Welsh lessons! By the
end of the session, everyone was able to correctly pronounce the commands and sayings and
everyone felt more confident than when they entered the classroom! Our school is proud
of its ‘Bilingualism / Dwyieithrwydd’ and without the help and support of the staff,
this wouldn’t be possible.
