WELSH LANGUAGE EXCHANGE TRANSITION PROJECT BRIEF
(idea provided by Medi James - Pontnewydd Primary, Torfaen)
Video conference objectives
- To introduce both classes and teachers to each other.
- Teachers and pupils get used to linking via webcam.
- Children increase their confidence in speaking and listening in welsh.
- Gain links with comprehensive school to assist a smooth transition from Y6–Y7.
- Evaluate the video conference and feedback the potential for future half termly conferences.
Proposed activity.
Primary pupils ask year 7 pupils;
- Beth yw d’enw di?
- Ble rwyt t’in byw?
- Faint ydy dy oed di?
- Pa liw ydy yd wallt di?
- Beth yw enw d’ ysgol di?
- Beth yw enw’r athraves?
- Beth yw enw’r pennaeth?
- Oes brawd da ti?
- Oes chwaer da ti?
- Beth wyt ti’n hoffi wneud?
Secondary pupils can then ask the same questions to Primary pupils.
This can be done in a hot seating format where one child from each school stays in the hot seat for 3 questions and then rotates. Once 9 questions have been asked, the schools swap. This can continue for the 30 minutes.
If you wish, the conference can take on a quiz format, where the school gains a point for every correct answer.
Prior Preparation
- Select children who will be put in the hotseat.
- Ensure your class are aware of the vocabulary required for the conference.
- Select a score keeper if required.
