DYMA NI CRIW CYMRAEG YSGOL GREENHILL

Côr Nadolig

Clwb Cymraeg gathered together to form a choir to sing Christmas carols and songs yn Gymraeg. We were hoping to visit local Nursing Homes, however flu hit.

Pupils within school bought roses for their friends or loved ones, these were delivered by Criw Cymraeg.

We encouraged the whole school to use their Welsh language, have conversations with friends and teachers, all whilst playing games.

All of the Houses came together to participate in this year’s Eisteddfod. Whether it was singing, recitation or dancing, each act was incredible. However, there was one worthy winner - Tŷ Galahad!

We took Criw Cymraeg and Clwb Cymrae, as well as well deserving pupils to Queens Hall to watch Mei Gwynedd perform. Roedd yn llawer o hwyl!
