Hyfryd iawn oedd croesawu Mrs Theresa Hendy a’i thim o Brifysgol Abertawe i’r ysgol neithiwr. Maen nhwn’n gweithio o dan y cynllun Llywodraeth Cymru Rhaglen Gefnogi Mathemateg Cymru a darparont sesiwn mathemateg hwylus ar gyfer dosbarth llawn rhieni a disgyblion blwyddyn 7. Nod y sesiwn oedd helpu rhieni datblygu hyder wrth gegnogi’n plentyn gyda sgiliau mathemateg. Sesiwn ardderchog a mwynheuodd gan bawb. Diolch yn fawr i Mrs Chandler/Mrs Glassey am ei drefnu.

It was lovely to welcome Mrs Theresa Hendy and her team from Swansea University to school yesterday evening. They are working under the Welsh Government Maths Support Programme Wales and they provided a fun maths session for a class full of our year 7 parents and pupils. The aim of the session was to help parents confidence in helping their child with maths at home. An excellent session which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Diolch yn fawr to Mrs Chandler/Mrs Glassey for organising it.

Diolch yn fawr i Mrs Jones Pennaeth Yr Adran Ffrangeg am ei dewis yr wythnos yma/Diolch yn fawr to Mrs Jones Head of French for her choice this week.
