Criw Cymraeg i Ysgol Westwood
Criw Cymraeg
Croeso!
We are the Criw Cymraeg and have a very important job across the school to support the Welsh language. We take an active role in speaking Welsh and ensuring all our peers to too!
We are currently working towards our Gwobr Arian - Silver Award for Cymraeg Campus and we are hoping to acieve it in the Summer term. Arddechog!
We work with Mrs Farrer to help in the weekly Welsh assembly and every Wednesday, we share the Siaradwr yr Wythnos a Ddosbarth yr Wythnos - where someone from each class will receive a certificate for using Welsh and winning the most Welsh Dojo points. We introduce the Patwrm yr Wythnos a Patwrm yr Mis to support our Helpwr Heddiw sessions and to encourage all the children and staff to use Cymraeg bob dydd - mae'n bwysig iawn!
What we do? / Beth ni yn wneud ?
As Criw Cymraeg, we are committed to promoting a Welsh ethos throughout Westwood Primary school by encouraging everyone to speak Welsh. The Criw Cymraeg (Welsh Crew) are instrumental in leading Welsh activities in school. Westwood’s goal is to fully achieve the ten targets within each award of the language charter.
Language Charter
The Language Charter can be used to promote and increase the use of Welsh by children in a whole school context. In a nutshell, the Charter’s 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. The Language Charter exhorts participation from every member of the school community: members of the school workforce and council, the pupils and their parents, school governors and the wider community who are all encouraged to take full ownership of it.
Bronze, Silver and Gold Award
To ensure that all efforts are rewarded, the Charter is based on the principle that every school follows challenging but attainable targets in connection with promoting the use of the Welsh language. Westwood have achieved the Bronze award through many activities, and dedicated days to speaking Welsh. This academic year, we hope to achieve our Silver Award!
