Welsh

At Ysgol y Rhos, we aim to help pupils achieve reasonable proficiency in oracy, reading, and writing in Welsh through regular and frequent instruction. We will also instill respect and tolerance towards the second language and the culture with which it is associated.

Welsh at Ysgol y Rhos provides:

1. A Welsh Ethos in the school by making pupils aware that Wales has its own language and culture.
2. A progression of skills that is relevant in terms of enabling the child to communicate on a day-to-day basis.
3. Structures, materials, and linguistically uncomplicated situations so that all pupils attain a measure of success.
4. Opportunities to link second language work with other subjects in the curriculum whenever this is possible and appropriate.
5. Encouragement of the use of ‘Everyday Welsh’.
6. Opportunities to nurture a healthy attitude towards the second language through activities which include games, songs, and role-play.
