Cyflymder Ceir / Speed of Cars

Years 5 & 6 were visited last week by two police officers that work on the 'Arrive Alive' van.

Children were given the opportunity to monitor the speed of passing cars outside the school, how many were wearing seat belt and also keep a tally of the most popular mode of transport.

The children were shocked to witness one car travelling at 49mph and another at 42mph passing our school; which is a 30mph zone. The police officers were quick to stop these cars and have just a quiet word.
The message from years 5 & 6 is, PLEASE WATCH YOUR SPEED.

Yr wythnos ddiwethaf ymwelodd dau aelod o'r heddlu a'r ysgol. Roedd y ddau yn rhan o ymgyrch Hedddlu Gogledd Cymru, Siwrne Saff, sy'n canolbwyntio ar leihau damweiniau drwy annog gyrrwyr i yrru'n ofalus. Cafodd y plant gyfle i fonitro cyflymder y ceir wrth iddynt yrru heibio'r ysgol ac hefyd sicrhau fod y teithwyr yn gwisgo gwregys.

Roedd y plant wedi synnu o weld un car yn gyrru ar gyflymder o 49mya ac un arall ar gyflymder o 42mya mewn parth 30mya. Cafodd yr heddlu air distaw yng nghlust y gyrrwyr euog hynny! Felly'r neges gan blant Blynyddoedd 5 a 6 yw

GWYLIWCH EICH CYFLYMDER!

Chinese Culture

Last week Years 5 & 6 were visited by two Chinese women.
The children were given opportunities to learn about various Chinese cultures. They started with morning exercies, something all chinese schools participate in every morning before starting lessons. Later all the children learnt the relaxation art of Tai Chi. The following days were split between learning paper folding, Calligraphy, Mandarin and the very popular Kung Fu.
Here are a few photos of what went on.

Yr wythnos ddiwethaf mwynhaodd plant Blwyddyn 5 a 6 gwmni dwy ferch o Tsieina. Cawsant gyfle i ddysgu am amrywiaeth o ddiwylliannau Tsieiniaidd yn cynnwys ymarferion corfforol boreuol, rhywbeth y mae plant ym mhob ysgol yn Tsieina yn ei wneud yn ddyddiol cyn cychwyn ar eu gwersi. Cawsant gyfle hefyd i ymarfer y grefft o Tai Chi, plygu papur, Caligraffeg, Kung Fu a chael blas ar yr iaith Mandarin.

Dyma ychydig o luniau i roddi syniad i chi o'r profiadau difyr ac amrywiol a gafodd y plant.

Key ring / Scones

Today, years 5&6 visited Holyhead High School as part of the transition session. Year 5 were given the task to create key rings. These could be any design using CAD (computer aided design) software. The results were brilliant.

Year 6 were given the task of creating a nutritious scone. The children weighed, measured, mixed and made a mess, but after all the hard work, they baked some lovely scones.

Heddiw ymwelodd Blwyddyn 5&6 ag Ysgol Uwchradd Caergybi. Cafodd disgyblion Blwyddyn 6 gyfle i bobi sgons maethlon a dysgodd pob un ohonynt sut i gymysu, mesur, pwyso'r cynhwysion a gwneud llanast!
Llwyddodd Blwyddyn 5 i greu torch allweddi gan ddefnyddio rhaglen CAD ar y cyfrifiadur. Roedd y canlyniadau yn wych.

Classe de Mer / Ysgol y Mor

Once again Year 6 are taking part in the Classe de Mer project. Last Tuesday, the children set off from Plas Menai in Rib speed boats and headed towards Caernarfon castle followed by a fast ride down the straits towards Beaumaris, stopping along the way to learn many different facts and learn some of the history that surrounds this area. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Unwaith eto'r flwyddyn hon mae Blwyddyn 6 yn cymryd rhan ym mhrosiect y Classe de Mer. Dydd Mawrth diwethaf cychwynodd y plant mewn cychod cyflym o Blas Menai i gyfeiriad Castell Caernarfon ac yna i lawr y Fenai i gyfeiriad Biwmares gan aros yma ac acw i ddysgu am y wlad o'u cwmpas. Mwynhaodd pawb y diwrnod yn fawr iawn.
