Goleuo Canwyllau'r Adfent / The Llighting of the Advent candles

Ar ddiwrnod olaf y tymor daeth pob dosbarth at ei gilydd i ganu carolau ac i oleuo canwyllau’r Adfent.

On the last day of term we all gathered together in the school hall to sing carols and light the candles of the Advent wreath.

Manchester United

Once again this year 17 children from Ysgol y Tywyn visited Old Trafford in Manchester. This was an amazing opportunity for many children to watch their first ever live football match.

We were all sat above the corner flag, which meant we could see the whole length of the pitch. We witnessed a single goal in the second half, thankfully to Utd.

Even though it was a late night, everyone enjoyed themselves and also behaved brilliantly. All the children were a credit to Ysgol Y Tywyn.


Unwaith eto'r flwyddyn hon cafodd 17 o ddisgyblion Ysgol y Tywyn gyfle i fynd i Old Trafford ym Manceinion i wylio gem beldroed.. Roedd yn brofiad arbennig iawn a llawer o'r plant yn cael cyfle i wylio gem beldroed yn fyw am y tro cyntaf erioed.

Roeddem yn eistedd uwchben y fflag gornel. Golygai hyn ein bod yn gweld i fyny'r cae.  Er mawr ryddhad, llwyddodd United i sgorio un yn ystod yr ail hanner.

Er ei bod yn noson hwyr roedd pawb wedi mwynhau a'r plant i gyd wedi ymddwyn yn arbennig o dda ac yn glod i Ysgol y Tywyn.

Ffair Nadolig/Christmas Fair

Last week we held our annual Christmas Fair. It was a very successful evening and we're hoping that the proceeds will be well over a £1000. Thank you all very much for your support.

 Yr wythnos ddiwethaf  cynhaliwyd ein Ffair Nadolig flynyddol. Bu'n noson lwyddiannus ac rydym yn gobeithio y bydd yr elw oddeutu £1000. Llawer o ddiolch i chi am eich cefnogaeth

Parti Nadolig Y Feithrin/Nursery Christmas Party

Heddiw roedd hi'n ddiwrnod parti yn y Feithrin. Buom yn dawnsio, chwarae gemau ac yng nghanol ei brysurdeb daeth Sion Corn i edrych amdanom a'i sach yn llawn anrhegion. Diolch yn fawr Sion Corn

Today it was party day in the Nursery. We danced, played games and there was great excitement when Santa arrived with a sackful of presents. Thank you very much Santa.

If you would like to purchase a DVD of the Christmas show at a cost of £3.00, please inform a member of staff before Tuesday 17th December. Thank you

Os ydych yn dymuno prynu DVD o'r Sioe Nadolig am £3.00, rhoddwch wybod i aelod o staff cyn Dydd Mawrth Rhagfyr 17eg. Diolch.

Cyngerdd Nadolig y Feithrin/Nursery Christmas Concert

Fore Mercher, a neuadd yr ysgol yn llawn,  cafwyd cyngerdd blynyddol y Feithrin a'r Dragonflies. Enw'r cyngerdd eleni oedd 'Santa's Hat' ac fel y gwelwch o'r lluniau, roedd yn gyngerdd lliwgar a phawb wedi mwynhau.

On Wednesday morning the Nursery and Dragonflies held their annual Christmas concert. This year's production was called 'Santa's Hat'. As you can see from the pictures, it was very colourful and thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Victorian Washing Day

Class 1 have been discussing a washing day before we had electricity. We decided that it was really hard work!!!

Mae Dosbarth 1 wedi bod yn trafod sut oedd gwragedd yn golchi cyn dyfodiad trydan. Yr ydym wedi penderfynu ei fod yn waith caled iawn!!!

Food Safety / Hylendid bwyd

Last week we were visited by the Food Standards Agency, thankfully it was to promote the importance of Food Safety.  We were informed how Food Poisoning is an illness caused by eating food contaminated by bacteria.  We learnt the the 4 C rule. Cross Contamination ( Always avoid), Cleaning everything, Chilling to below 5 degrees and Cooking until food is hot right the way through with juices running clear.  
If we follow these simple rules we can reduce the risk of food poisoning.
Thank you to the team for the fantastic show and class workshops.

Yr wythnos ddiwethaf daeth tri aelod hwyliog o Asiantaeth Safonau Bwyd i'r ysgol i hyrwyddo hylendid bwyd. Dysgasom fod bwyta bwyd wedi ei lygru gyda bacteria yn achosi gwenwyn bwyd. Dysgasom hefyd am reolau'r  4C sef 'Cross contamination' 'Cleaning,' 'Chilling, a 'Cooking'. Pe dilynwn y cyfarwyddyd hwn, fe fyddwn yn lleihau'r risg o wenwyn bwyd. Diolch o galon i'r tim am sioe wych ac am y gweithdai diddorol.

Handa's Surprise

This week we all enjoyed the story about Handa the little girl from Kenya who takes a basket of fruit to her friend Akeyo. But as she walks, carrying the basket on her head, various creatures steal her fruit. Here we are sampling some of the fruit from Handa's basket - mangoes, pineapples, passion fruit, bananas and oranges.

Yr wythnos hon mwynhaodd pawb y stori am Handa, yr eneth fach o Kenya a aeth a basgedaid o ffrwythau i'w ffrind Akeyo. Ond wrth iddi gerdded, a'r fasged ar ei phen mae amrywiaeth o greaduriaid yn dwyn y ffrwythau. Dyma ni yn blasu rhai o'r ffrwythau o fasged Handa - mangos, 'passion fruit', pinafalau, bananas ac orennau. 

Circuit Training with a twist

On Friday, children in class 4 were invited to the RAF Gym to give a circuit training session to RAF staff.  In the morning the children took part in their own circuits so they could get the idea of what it involved. Later the children designed their own circuits using various gym equipment.  
During the lunch hour, RAF staff arrived and were donating money to Children in Need for the privilege of taking part in the circuit training.

As you can see from the images below, the children had designed some very hard circuits and sweat was gushing from some people.
Thank you to the staff at the gym for your hard work and your kindness in donating to Children in Need.

Dydd Gwener diwethaf cafodd plant Dosbarth 4 wahoddiad i gampfa newydd yr awyrlu i roddi hyfforddiant cylchol i rai o'r staff. Yn y bore cafwyd cyfle i ymarfer ac yna cawsant gyfle i gynllunio eu hymarferiad eu hunain yn defnyddio offer y gampfa. Yn ystod yr awr ginio ymunodd staff yr awyrlu a'r plant gan gyfrannu at gronfa y Plant Mewn Angen fel tal am yr hyfforddiant. Fel y gwelwch o'r lluniau roedd y plant wedi cynllunio ymarferiad heriol! Diolch yn fawr i'r staff am gymryd rhan yn yr hwyl ac am eu cyfraniadau hael.  

Plant Mewn Angen/Children in Need

Heddiw, a hithau'n ddiwrnod Plant mewn Angen, daeth y plant i'r ysgol mewn amrywiaeth o wahanol wisgoedd. Roedd pawb yn talu am y fraint o gael gwisgo eu dillad eu hunain ac ar ddiwedd y dydd roedd y swm anrhydeddus o £250 wedi ei gasglu! Bydd y cyfan yn mynd i gronfa'r Plant Mewn Angen. Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi am eich cyfraniadau.

With today being Children in Need Day, the children came to school in a variety of costumes!  They paid  for the 'privilege' of wearing their own clothes, and at the end of the day the school managed to raise £250! All money donated will go towards the Children in Need charity. Thank you all very much for your support.

Melin Llynnon

Today Class 4 visited Melin Llynnon to learn more about the way the Celts used to live.  We saw inside the round houses and we were taught lots of fascinating facts.  Thank you very much to Lloyd for his tour and sharing his depth of knowledge with us.We all thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

Heddiw ymwelodd Dosbarth 4 a Melin Llynnon lle cafodd y plant ddysgu am ffordd y Celtiaid o fyw. Cawsant weld y tu mewn i'r tai crynion a'r tan yn y canol ar gyfer coginio a chynhesu'r ty. Llawer o ddiolch i Lloyd am sgwrs ddiddorol. Fe ddysgodd bawb lawer ganddo. Bu'n fore hynod ddifyr a diddorol dros ben!

Kevin's Bullying Show

Yesterday Mark Griffiths visited the school with Kevin and his friends. The message was clear - We are all special in our own way and we should accept others for how they are.

Ddoe daeth Mark Griffiths a Kevin y pyped i'r ysgol. Roedd eu neges yn glir - rydym i gyd yn wahanol ac yn arbennig iawn ac fe ddylem dderbyn pawb am bwy ydynt. 

Noson Tan Gwyllt / Bonfire Night

Rydym wedi bod yn dathlu Noson Tan Gwyllt yn y Feithrin yr wythnos hon. Mwynhaodd pawb y stori am Charlie Dragon, a chawsom gyfle i adeiladu a lliwio rocedi, paentio lluniau lliwgar a gwrando ar y Music for the Royal Fireworks gan Handel!!

This week we have been celebrating Bonfire Night in the Nursery. We all enjoyed the story about Charlie the lazy dragon who woke up just in time to light the bonfire! We built rockets, painted pictures and we also listened to Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks!!

Glas / Blue

Yr wythnos hon rydym wedi bod yn ymchwilio i'r lliw 'glas'. Cawsom hwyl yn gwrando ar storiau, yn ceisio darganfod pethau glas yng nghanol dail yr hydref, yn chwilio am ddeinosoriaid glas, yn sortio teganau bach glas, yn ychwanegu papur crep glas i'r dwr a'i wylio'n newid lliw yn ogystal a gwehyddu gyda rubanau glas.

This week we have been learning all about the colour 'blue'. We listened to stories, had fun searching for blue objects among the leaves, looking for blue dinosaurs, sorting little blue toys, adding blue crepe paper into the water and watch it turn blue, as well as weaving with blue ribbons. 

Cyfeiriannu / Orienteering

Dyma ddisgyblion dosbarth 4 yn cymryd rhan mewn gweithgaredd Cyfeiriannu.
