Llongyfarchaidau i’r grwp yma o Flwyddyn 7 ar ol ennill ein Cystadleuaeth Ystafell Ddianc Mr Urdd yr wythnos diwethaf – amser gwych bois! Congratulations to this group on winning our Mr Urdd Escape Room Competition last week – fabulous completion time boys!

Da iawn blwyddyn 7! Mi gawsom wasanaeth ardderchog gan 7AJH ar Gofiwch Drywern y bore ‘ma. Hyfryd iawn oedd gweld y disgyblion yn siarad yn hyderus yn Gymraeg a Saseneg wrth gyflwyno’r digwyydiad sylweddol yn hanes Cymru. We had an excellent assembly from class 7AJH on Remember Tryweryn this morning. It was lovely to see the pupils speaking so confidently in Welsh and English, describing this significant event in Welsh history.  

Diolch yn fawr i’r Tim Ymgysylltiad Pencladys Brigad 160 (Cymru) am ymweld a ni heddiw a rhoi cyflwyniad diddorol iawn am gyfleoedd gyrfa y Fyddin ar gyfer blwyddyn 10. Mwynheuodd blwyddyn 10 yn fawr iawn. Diolch yn fawr to the Headquarters 160 (Wales) Brigade Engagement Team for visiting us today and delivering a really interesting presentation to year 10. Year 10 really enjoyed the event.  

Mae Mrs Thomas a’r Adran Gymraeg wedi creu adnodd newydd sy’n hynod o boblogaidd gyda disgyblion ym mhob blwyddyn. Y sesiynau ystafell ddianc er mwyn achub Mr Urdd wir yn datblygu sgiliau llafar, hyder wrth ddefnyddio’r Gymraeg a gwybodaeth am hanes Cymru! Dyma rai o ddosbarth 7SGO ar ol iddynt yn llwyddo achub Mr Urdd. Yn ogystal a chael ei ddefnyddio mewn gwersi mae’r system archebu lle amser egwyl a chinio wedi bod yn llawn bob dydd ers wythnosau. Mrs Thomas and the Welsh Department have created a new resource which is proving really popular with pupils in all year groups. The escape room sessions, in order to save Mr Urdd, develop oracy skills and confidence in speaking Cymraeg along with improving our pupils knowledge and understanding of Welsh history. The picture shows some of class 7SGO after they managed to successfully complete the challenges and freed Mr Urdd. As well as being used in lessons the booking system for using it at break and lunchtimes as been full for weeks.
