Annwyl rieni a gofalwyr / Dear Parents and carers,
Mae'r hanner tymor wedi cyrraedd yn barod a hoffwn ddefnyddio'r cyfle i estyn diolch unwaith eto i chi gyd am eich cymorth a’ch cefnogaeth ers cychwyn ein tymor newydd. Mawr obeithiaf y bydd y cyswllt yma’n parhau rhyngom fel ysgol.
The half term has already arrived and I would like to use the opportunity to once again extend thanks to you all for your help and support since the start of our new term. I sincerely hope that this link will continue between us as a school. I really hope that this link will continue between us as a school.
Absenoldebau a Phresenoldeb / Absences and Attendance
Mae'r ysgol yn dechrau yn brydlon am 8.45yb - mae sawl un yn cyrraedd yr ysgol yn hwyr. Ceisiwch gyrraedd ar amser os gwelwch yn dda. Os yw eich plentyn yn absennol o'r ysgol, cysylltwch â'r ysgol cyn gynted â phosibl - naill ai gadewch neges ar y llinell absenoldeb neu e-bostiwch yr ysgol. School starts promptly at 8.45am - several pupils still arrive at school late. Try to arrive on time please. If your child is absent from school, please contact school at the earliest convenience - either leave a message on the absence line, or email the school. https://cdnfiles.j2bloggy.com/30104_b/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/13713-NPT-Miss-school-Miss-Out-A4-poster.pdf https://cdnfiles.j2bloggy.com/30104_b/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/13713-NPT-Miss-school-Miss-Out-A4-poster-Welsh.pdf
Glanllyn Bl 6 / Year 6 Glanllyn
Aeth Blwyddyn 6 eleni i Wersyll yr Urdd Glan-llyn ar gyfer eu cwrs preswyl. Hyfryd oedd bod allan ar dirwedd gyfoethog gogledd Cymru unwaith eto. Cafodd y plant profiad arbennig yn canŵio, adeiladu rafft ar lyn Tegid a llawer llawer mwy. Mae’r ysgol wedi ymweld â’r gwersyll ers 2021 ac yn mwynhau’r profiadau a gwerthfawrogir y cyfleoedd maent yn cynnig i’n disgyblion bob tro. Year 6 went to Urdd Glan-llyn for their residential course this month. It was a delight to be out on the rich landscape of north Wales once again. The children had a great experience canoeing, building rafts on Llyn Tegid and much more. The school has visited the camp since 2021 and have always enjoyed the experiences and the opportunities they offer our pupils. (LLUN)
Senedd yr Ysgol / School Senedd
Yn flynyddol, mae holl ddisgyblion Bl2-6 yn ethol a phleidleisio ar gyfer senedd newydd yr ysgol. Mae gan yr ysgol nifer o bwyllgorau gweithgar gan gynnwys Dewiniaid Digidol, Eco, Hawliau Plant, Chwaraeon, Criw Cymraeg, Criw Cymwynasgar, Ysgolion Iach a Lleisiau lles. Mae’r disgyblion yn Dilyn proses aeddfed trwy ymgeisio, llunio maniffesto a dysgu’r plant am y broses ethol democratiaeth yn llawn. Cyflwynir bathodynnau iddynt mewn gwasanaeth arbennig. Annually, all Yr2-6 pupils elect and vote for the school's new parliament. The school has a number of active committees including Digital Wizards, Eco, Children's Rights, Sport, Criw Cymraeg, Kind group, Healthy Schools and Wellbeing group. The pupils follow a mature process by applying, formulating a manifesto and teaching the children about the full democracy election processes. They were all presented with badges in our assembly.
Ymweliad Brigad Tan Pontardawe / Pontardawe Fire Service visit
Yn dilyn ein hymweliadau gan y deintydd yn ddiweddar, daeth brigâd dan Pontardawe ar safle’r ysgol i gwrdd â’n plant oed derbyn fel rhan o’u gwaith y tymor hwn. Roedd yna gyffro mawr wrth i’r injan dan gyrraedd yr ysgol le gwnaeth y plant cael cyfleodd y weld yr injan, cyffwrdd a gwisgo’r offer ac wrth gwrs clywed sŵn yr injan. Profiad gwych i bawb a diolchwn i dim Brigâd tan Pontardawe am alw draw. Following our recent visits from the dentist, the Pontardawe Fire Brigade came on the school site to meet our reception pupils as part of their classwork this term. There was great excitement as the engine arrived at the school where the children had opportunities to get up close to the fire engine, wearing some equipment and of course hearing the horn of the engine. A great experience for everyone and we thank the Pontardawe Fire service for calling in.
