Hyfryd iawn oedd gweld disgyblion a rhieni yn y cyfnod cynradd yn mwynhau mabolgampau cystadleuol a hwylus yn y tywydd braf heddiw. Edrychodd y plantos yn wych yn eu lliwiau llys ac roeddent yn sicr yn haeddu hufen ia ar ol eu holl waith caled – da iawn i chi gyd! Edrychwn ymlaen at mabolgampau y cyfnod sylfaen yfory.

It was wonderful to see pupils and parents in the primary phase enjoying a competitive, fun sports day in the fine weather today. The children looked fantastic in their house colours and they certainly deserved an ice cream after all their hard work – well done to you all! We look forward to the foundation phase sports day tomorrow.
