Diwrnod gwych heddiw gan Flwyddyn 8 oedd yn cyflwyno eu prosiectau Cymbrogi, yn edrych ar sut i ddatblygu Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Rhosafan mewn modd cynaliadwy, ecolegol.  Daeth cynrychiolwyr o Morgan Sindall, Coetir Cymru, Cymbrogi, Tata Steel, Llywodraethwyr ein hysgol ac aelodau’r Cyngor i gyd i’r ysgol i farnu gwaith y disgyblion yn y neuadd.  Roedd disgyblion Blwyddyn 8 wedi cyflwyno a thrafod eu syniadau ac roeddent yn llysgenhadon gwych i Ysgol Bae Baglan. Da iawn bawb!

A brilliant day today from Year 8 who were presenting their Cymbrogi projects, looking at how to develop Rhosafan Primary School in a sustainable, ecological way.  We had representatives from Morgan Sindall, Woodland Wales, Cymbrogi, Tata Steel, our school Governors and Council members all come to the school to judge the pupils work in the hall. Year 8 pupils presented and discussed their ideas and were fantastic ambassadors for Ysgol Bae Baglan. Da iawn bawbl!

Hyfryd iawn oedd croesawu timau rygbi blwyddyn 7 oddi wrth Ysgol Bro Dur, Ysgol Cwm Brombil ac Ysgol Severn Vale i’r ysgol am ein Gŵyl Rygbi heddiw. Roedd y tywydd yn wych ac roedd y rygbi o safon uchel – da iawn i bawb syd wedi chwarae! Diolch yn fawr i Mr Davies a Mr Bramwell am ei drefnu.

Cafodd ein tîm Blwyddyn 11 daith pêl-rwyd hynod lwyddiannus ar ôl eu cymedroli ddydd Iau. Teithiom i Swindon ar gyfer twrnamaint PGL Ysgolion. Chwaraeon nhw 5 gêm ddydd Sadwrn gan ennill 4 gêm yn argyhoeddiadol a cholli un. Chwaraeon nhw 2 gêm fore Sul gan ennill y ddwy gêm a aeth â nhw drwodd i’r rownd gynderfynol.  Chwaraeon nhw’n arbennig o dda yn y rownd gyn derfynol gan ddod trwy 6-3 ar ôl gêm gyfartal 2-2 ar yr hanner. Roeddent yn eithriadol yn y rownd derfynol yn erbyn ysgol gref iawn o Loegr, The Blandford School. Buont yn brwydro’n galed gan orffen yn ail. Roedd y merched yn glod i’r ysgol ac roedd ymddygiad yn berffaith. Breuddwyd i fynd â nhw i ffwrdd a chynrychioli’r ysgol am y tro olaf.

Our Year 11 team had an incredibly successful netball tour after their moderation on Thursday. We travelled to Swindon for the Schools PGL tournament. They played 5 games on Saturday winning 4 games convincingly and losing one. They played 2 games on Sunday morning winning both games which took them through to the semi finals.  They played amazingly well in the semi final coming through 6-3 after drawing 2-2 at half time. They were exceptional in the final against a very strong school from England, The Blandford School. They battled hard finishing runners up. The girls were a credit to the school and behaviour was impeccable. A dream to take away and represent the school for the final time.
