Ydych chi'n gallu helpu ni? Can you help us? Contact Mrs Hamer to find out more.

May 2026: The Criw are proud to present our latest competition: Ble yn y Byd? Where in the world?

We are asking you once again, to help us take Welsh around the world. Please can you film a short clip of you speaking Welsh from anywhere in Wales, the UK or around the world. The winners will be the video from the furthest away from our school, in Wales, the UK and around the world. Please see our poster for details and the address to send your entries. Don't forget the more entries you send, the more chance you have of winning one of our Welsh Hampers. The closing date is 30th June 2026 and winners will be announced on the 3rd July. To help you along, the Criw and some ffrindiau have made clips to help you. Remember, you don't have to be a fluent Welsh speaker, we are all learning. Your message can be a short "Shwmae Abernant, dw i yn ......." or you could use our poster to help you say a little more.

Pob lwc!

Livvy, Brody and Mrs Hamer attended the Siarter Iaith awards ceremony at the Vale Hotel in March 2025 to receive our Gwobr Arian.

Siarter Iaith ~ The Language Charter

The objective of the Language Charter is to provide a clear framework, which can be used to promote and increase the use of Welsh by children in a whole school context. In a nutshell, the Charter’s main aim is to promote a strong Welsh ethos in our school and to provide a range of enriching activities that propel the children to enjoy learning Welsh.

The Language Charter exhorts participation from every member of the school community, and members of the school workforce and council, the pupils and their parents, school governors and the wider community are all encouraged to take full ownership of it. The Criw Cymraeg (Welsh Crew) are instrumental in leading and driving the Language Charter forward at Abernant Primary.

The Criw Cymraeg in Abernant have led the school to achieve the bronze award of the Siarter Iaith. Here are Talys and Harriette at the awards ceremony.

Our next mission is to achieve the silver award.
