Padre Stu

This morning we were visited by Padre Stu. With Thanksgiving fast approaching, we were told a story that made us think about just how lucky we are when talking about food.  He made us think of all those miles a pizza has travelled when you break up all those nice toppings and which country they came from.  Thank you for your visit and we hope to see you again soon.

Bore heddiw, a ninnau ar drothwy'r Wyl Ddiolchgarwch, ymwelodd Padre Stu a'r ysgol. Adroddodd stori a wnaeth i ni sylweddoli pa mor ffodus yr ydym fod bwyd yn cyrraedd ein byrddau mor rhwydd. Diolch Padre am alw a gobeithiwn eich gweld eto yn fuan.

Olympic Flame

Dau frawd o Ysgol y Tywyn yn cael y fraint o afael yn y Ffagl Olympaidd wrth iddi deithio drwy Fangor. Profiad i'w gofio yn wir!

Two brothers from Ysgol y Tywyn in Bangor holding the Olympic torch. You are very lucky, not everyone gets this chance.

Fore Iau ymwelodd Mark Winkup a'r ysgol. Ei neges oedd 'Paid cyffwrdd - dwed!' Bu'n sgwrsio gyda'r plant am bwysigrwydd peidio cyffwrdd mewn cyffuriau, meddyginiaethau, hylifau glanhau, nodwyddau ac yn y blaen. Llwyddodd i gyflwyno'r neges mewn modd difyr a hwyliog a mwynhaodd pawb y cyflwyniad yn fawr iawn.

On Thursday morning Mark Winkup visited the school. His message was 'Don't touch - tell!'. He spoke to the children about the importance of not touching drugs, medicines, household substances such as bleach and disinfectants and also needles and syringes. His presentation was lively and full of fun. Thank you Mark, we all enjoyed it very much.

Steve Riley

Thank you to Steve Riley for coming to visit the school to give us a short presentation about his recent trip to the Antarctic. The children were very lucky to see the equipment he used and were shown videos giving an idea of just how cold it was out there and just how hard it was to walk in all the snow for 8 weeks.

Llawer o ddiolch i Steve Riley am ddod i'r ysgol i sgwrsio am ei daith ddiweddar i'r Antarctig. Cafodd y plant weld yr offer a ddefnyddiwyd ganddo ac hefyd dangosodd fidio o'r amgylchiadau anodd a wynebodd yn ystod yr wyth wythnos y bu'n anturio.

Eflyn- Llyn Cerrig Bach

Last week Eflyn Owen came to visit years 5&6 to talk about Llyn Cerrig Bach and its history. She was very kind to bring artifacts and images of what was found many years ago when the RAF were building the runway. The children were fascinated to learn that actual Celts possibly lived where the school building lies now!!

Yr wythnos ddiwethaf daeth Eflyn Owen i'r ysgol i sgwrsio gyda plant Blynyddoedd 5 a 6 am Lyn Cerrig Bach. Roedd ganddi nifer o wahanol arteffactau a lluniau o'r gwrthrychau a ddarganfuwyd flynyddoedd yn ol wrth i redfa'r awyrennau gael ei adeiladu. Roedd y plant wedi rhyfeddu pan ddywedwyd wrthynt efallai i'r Celtiaid fyw ar y tir lle saif yr ysgol heddiw.

Dangerpoint / Pentre Peryglon

Dydd Mercher cafodd Blwyddyn 5 a 6 ymweld â Pentre Peryglon. Tŷ yw Pentre Peryglon sydd yn codi ymwybyddiaeth y plant i'r holl beryglon sydd o’n gwmpas yn y cartref, allan ar y lon ac hefyd ar y traeth.

On Friday Year 5&6 visited Dangerpoint. This is a house that raises awareness of the dangers children could be faced with in the home, on the road and even on the beach.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Today, years 3-6 were given the opportunity to go to Venue Cymru in Llandudno to watch the West end show, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
'Retelling the Biblical story of Joseph, his eleven brothers and the coat of many colours, this magical musical was full of unforgettable songs including Any Dream Will Do, Close Ev'ry Door To Me and One More Angel.'
Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and everyone was a credit to Ysgol y Tywyn for their behaviour.

Heddiw cafodd disgyblion Blynyddoedd 3 - 6 gyfle i fynd i Venue Cymru yn Llandudno i wylio Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Roedd yn sioe hynod ddifyr, yn frith o ganeuon bythgofiadwy ac yn brofiad arbennig iawn i'r plant.

RSPB

Bu plant Dosbarth 2 ar safle'r RSPB yng Ngwlypdir y Fali . Yno cawsant wylio'r gwahanol adar a welir ar lyn Penrhyn yn ystod misoedd y Gaeaf. Ar y ffordd yn ol i'r ysgol cafodd pawb hwyl yn bwyta 'marshmallows' ac yn codi llaw ar yr hofrennydd uwchben.

Pupils from class 2 recently visited Valley Wetlands RSPB site. They were able to watch the different waterfowl present on Llyn Penrhyn over the winter months. They particularly enjoyed waving at the yellow helicopter flying over head and the marshmallows on the way back to school.

Panto

Today the whole school visited Venue Cymru in Llandudno to watch the fantastic show Cinderella. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Heddiw cafodd yr ysgol gyfan fynd i Venue Cymru i wylio sioe Cinderella. Roedd pawb wedi mwynhau eu hunain.

Class de Mer

Last week year 6 visited 'Sea Zoo' as part of their Class de Mer. Children were taught many different interesting facts including how the shoreline in shaped and how waves are created. Later in the day they were given opportunities to hold various sea animals including starfish, crabs and lobsters. Everyone had a great day and learned a lot about the importance of looking after our coastline.




Yr wythnos ddiwethaf, fel rhan o'r prosiect y 'Class de Mer' ymwelodd Blwyddyn 6 a 'Sw Mor'. Yn ystod y diwrnod dysgodd y plant lawer o ffeithiau diddorol am y mor yn cynnwys gwybodaeth am sut y ffurfiwyd yr arfordir a sut mae tonnau yn cael eu creu. Cawsant gyfle i afael mewn amrywiaeth o greaduriaid yn cynnwys seren for, cimychiaid a chrancod. Bu'n ddiwrnod arbennig o dda a dysgwyd llawer am bwysigrwydd gwarchod yr arfordir.

Dawns i Bawb/ Dance for All

Yr wythnos hon cafodd plant Blwyddyn 2 y cyfle i gymryd rhan mewn gwers ddawnsio creadigol gyda Colin, dawnsiwr proffesiynnol gyda cwmni dawnsio 'Dawns i Bawb'. Hon oedd y gyntaf o saith gwers.

This week Year 2 children took part in a creative dance lesson with Colin, a professional dancer, from 'Dance for All'. This will be a regular event from now until Christmas.

Manchester United

Last night 15 children from years 3 to 6 visited Old Trafford in Manchester. This was an amazing opportunity for many children to watch their first ever live football match.

Everyone were sitting behind the goal, which meant we could see the whole length of the pitch. We were lucky, the only goal was scored in the first half, right in front of our eyes.The highlight of the night was having 'Welcome Ysgol Y Tywyn' written on the board at half time. Even though it was a late night, everyone enjoyed themselves and also behaved brilliantly, all the children were a credit to Ysgol Y Tywyn.

Neithiwr cafodd 15 o ddisgyblion y cyfle i fynd i wylio gem beldroed yn Old Trafford. Roedd hyn yn gyfle arbennig i rai disgyblion weld gem fyw am y tro cyntaf.
Roedd ein seddau y tu ol i'r gol, a oedd yn golygu ein bod yn gallu gweld y cae ar ei hyd. Yn ffodus iawn sgoriwyd yr unig gol yn ystod yr hanner cyntaf o flaen lle'r oeddem yn eistedd.Uchafbwynt y noson oedd gweld ' Welcome Ysgol y Tywyn' wedi ei ysgrifennu ar yr hysbysfwrdd yn ystod hanner amser.
Er ei bod yn noson hwyr, roedd pawb wedi mwynhau yn fawr. Yn ogystal a hyn roedd y plant wedi ymddwyn yn wych, ac yn glod i'r ysgol.

Woodland Festival

On Thursday, years 3 & 4 went to Carreglwyd estate in Llanfaethlu to take part in the Woodlands Festival.
There was a dazzling aray of brightly coloured wellington boots leading for the bus that morning as the weather forecast was grim!

Various activities had been arranged, there was a walk in the woods to find and recognise all kinds of trees and shrubs, from blackberries and acorns to bay leaves and hazelnuts.

Learning how to safely light a camp fire, and better still how to toast marshmallows over it was a great success.

There were craft activities too, everyone enjoyed making real or imaginary creatures from bits of old card, paper and fabric - rubbish infact!

One of the highlights of the day was eating a picnic lunch by the lake in the warm Autunm sunshine. ( the weather man was quite wrong)

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day and all that remains now is to find a home for all those re-cycled creatures that the children brought back to school with them!

Fel rhan o Wyl Goedwig Ynys Mon, ymwelodd plant Blwyddyn 3 a 4 a'r Garreg Lwyd ger Llanfaethlu. Cymerodd y plant ran mewn amrywiaeth o weithgareddau yn cynnwys gwneud tan yn y goedwig, crasu 'marshmallows', ac adeiladu creaduriaid dychmygol allan o sbwriel. Cyn dychwelyd yn ol i'r ysgol cafodd pawb bicnic ar lan y llyn.

Church Visit / Ymweliad i'r Eglwys

Yr wythnos ddiwethaf cawsom wahoddiad i eglwys Sant Mihangel gan Padre Kevin. Yn dilyn gwasanaeth byr dangosodd y Padre arteffactau a oedd yn berthnasol i'r eglwys a beth oedd eu pwrpas. Bu'n fore diddorol a difyr iawn.

Last week Padre Kevin invited us all to St Michael's church. Following a short sevice the Padre explained to us the purpose of some of the artefacts found in the church. We had a very interesting and pleasant morning.

Class de Mer

Year 6 were very fortunate again this week with the weather, when they visited Plas Menai for their day 3 trip. Once everybody were kitted out, they set off down the Menai to Beaumaris. Once there, everyone ate their lunch admiring the wonderful view. Later, everyone walked to the Castle where we worked on some orienteering activities. On our way back to the boats we were very lucky to have a tour around the new lifeboat.

Unfortunately the day did have to come to an end, everyone jumped back onto the ribs and headed home towards Plas Menai. Everyone is excited and looking forward to day 4!

Unwaith eto bu plant Blwyddyn 5 a 6 yn ffodus gyda'r tywydd pan ymwelodd y dosbarth a Phlas Menai am y trydydd tro. Roedd pawb wedi eu gwisgo'n addas ar gyfer y daith ar y Fenai i Fiwmares. Wedi cyrraedd mwynhaodd pawb eu cinio tra'n edmygu'r olygfa. Yn dilyn hyn cerddodd pawb at y castell i gymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau cyfeiriannu . Cyn dychwelyd at y cychod cawsom gyfle i weld y bad achub newydd.

Mae pawb yn awr yn edrych ymlaen am y bedwaredd wers.

Iwan Llywelyn Jones

Years 5 & 6 recently had the privilege of attending a music workshop held at the Ucheldre Centre Holyhead. The workshop was led by Iwan Llywelyn Jones who is an international pianist. The children were given the opportunity to listen to Iwan playing a number of short pieces of various music on the piano. They then joined in with the percussion instruments to help create a 'musical story' about George and the Dragon. They all thoroughly enjoyed this valuable experience.

Yn ddiweddar cafodd Bl 5 & 6 y fraint o gymeryd rhan mewn gweithdy cerdd yng Nghanolfan Ucheldre, CAergybi. Iwan Llywelyn Jones, pianydd rhyngwadol oedd yn gyfrifol am y gweithdy. Cafodd y plant y cyfle i wrando ar Iwan yn chwarae amrywiaeth o gerddoriaeth ar y piano. Cawsant wedyn helpu i greu 'stori gerdd' gan ddefnyddio offerynnau taro. Mwynhaodd pawb y profiad gwerthfawr hwn.
