Ideas for Writing

Picture a Day

This website uploads a different picture every day that can be used as a stimulus for some extraordinary descriptive writing or might even spark an idea for a whole story! If you choose to use this page and create some marvellous writing you can upload it to your class' Google Classroom or Seesaw for everyone to read.

Welsh Phrases

To keep you going with your wonderful Welsh skills while you are at home, we have created some resources for you to practise phrases. Click on the relevant key stage below.

Foundation Phase

KS2

As well as the Welsh Phrases detailed above, please head over to our Criw Cymraeg part of the website. Criw Cymraeg have done an amazing job this year adding apps that you can use to enhance your learning, games that you can play and short clips that you can watch and learn from. All of these can be used to practise your Welsh skills. You will also find some of the sentence patterns that we use within the classroom that you can practise at home.

Amser Stori - Story Time

Primary Language Network

Below are some links to Primary Languages Network, a Virtual Learning Environment.

If you click on one it will take you to a Key Stage specific page. This page is then divided by stage. All learners can begin by accessing Stage 1 materials and progress through them at their leisure. Each stage is also split into different topics. If you click on an activity for a specific topic it will take you to a page of QR codes. Each QR code can be scanned using a phone or tablet and this will take you to an activity.

Years 3 and 6 have been trialing some of these materials in class but all can access these resources if you would like.
