Year 9 have produced some excellent work this week - they have been developing their knowledge of foods in Spanish by creating and performing role plays in a Spanish restaurant. 🫔🍚🍦😋

Taking a moment to reflect on some of our favourite learning experiences of this school year … stay tuned ✨

Year 8 have used a range of different techniques to learn new words, but they particularly enjoyed this game of dominoes, developing team work and logical thinking whilst learning new Welsh food vocabulary!

In Year 9, we have been developing confidence in our speaking & listening skills. Learners have played a range of games to develop their confidence & fluency, such as this ‘algo’ game. It is SO impressive to hear our amazing learners talk confidently and accurately without worry!

Year 7 started this school year by learning to talk about who they do/don’t get on well with - just look at the incredible work they produced! Can you believe one of these amazing learners only started learning Welsh 1 month prior to this? 👏👏👏👏👏👏

In year 9 we also had the opportunity to explore other languages - in 9PD (now 10PT) we spent a few lessons looking at etymology and where our words come from, as well as learning some Latin and Green root words. Then, we played etymopoly!

And the final reflection of the day is to celebrate the PROGRESS that 10W7 have made this year, which is absolutely phenomenal. I am so proud of every single learner in this class. Here’s an action shot of ‘one pen one dice’. Missing your class already!

A fantastic start from year 7 today - they have been learning to ask and answer ‘ça va?’ / ‘how are you’, matching the French to the English and playing matching pairs with the new vocabulary. An excellent effort from everyone! 👏👏

What an exceptional pieces of writing by Alishbah in year 11 🤩🤩 Well done 👏👏

On Tuesday I responded to the statement on the work being done by Welsh Govt to create a Nation of Sanctuary. Was very pleased to highlight work of Lliswerry High , who serve a multicultural area and are doing lots of good work to bring communities of all backgrounds together.

In year 8 this half term we have been talking about food and describing what we eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Well done Berenice, Kashifah & Eliza in your impressive work here 👏👏

In year 8 we have also written verses for a poem about food! Not only writing in a second/third language, but also making it rhyme!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Ice cream in a shoe? Slippers made of bread? We’ve been discussing some odd food combinations to practise the conditional tense structure ‘hoffwn i fwyta’ (I’d like to eat) and ‘hoffai X fwyta (X would like to eat)…Who knew ice cream in a shoe would be so popular! Ych a fi!

Do you know the colours in French? 7L1 definitely do! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Ethical and informed citizens in year 9 ✅ Learners chose a local councillor to write to, detailed the problems in their local area and suggested solutions, in WELSH - from growing our own food to using bags for life, using public transport and installing solar panels. Da iawn!

This week Year 7 have practised their new ‘family members’ knowledge with a quiz about well known people and characters - How many answers can you work out?

Fantastic efforts from years 7 and 9 today in their speed dating oracy lessons! Lots of ambitious French and Welsh being spoken! Bravo / da iawn!!
