Article 31 - Rest, Play, Culture, Arts

Foundation Phase

Ymadrodd Yr Wythnos

Phrase of the Week

Our 'Phrase of the Week' is introduced every Wednesday during our Welsh assembly. It is then reinforced throughout the week. Our Criw Cymraeg play an important role encouraging and supporting  everyone to use the Ymadrodd Yr Wythnos. 

Why not have a go at practising these at home with your family and friends.

You can also follow us on Twitter and watch our pupils practising the 'Phrase of the Week'.
