• Llwyddiant traws gwlad / Cross country success

  Fri 22 Mar 2019

  Mae criw bach o ddisgyblion angerddol, o dan ofal arbennig Mrs Cairns, wedi bod yn cystadlu mewn cyfres o gystadlaethau traws gwlad lleol yn ddiweddar, gyda thipyn o lwyddiant, a rhaid canmol pob un ohonyn nhw am eu hymdrechion. Llongyfarchiadau yn arbennig i Sophie Stephens ac Evan Jones ar gael eu dewis i gynrychioli y cylch a rhanbarth Afan Nedd Tawe ym mhencampwriaeth traws gwlad Cymru dros y misoedd nesaf. Pob lwc i'r ddau!

   

  A small but passionate group of our pupils, under the expert guidance of Mrs Cairns, have been competing at district cross country meetings recently, with quite a bit of success, and every one of them deserves our praise. Congratulations in particular to both Sophie Stephens and Evan Jones on being chosen to represent not only the Loughor district, but also the Afan Nedd Tawe region at the forthcoming Welsh Championships. Pob lwc i chi! (22/3/19)

  A very worthwhile and enjoyable time was had by all those parents who came along and supported our Digital Competence event this evening. A big thank you to our Digital Wizards and to Miss Gwenter, Miss Dark and Mrs Edwards for leading the event so successfully. The opportunity to interact with the pupils and learn all about the skills being developed by our pupils was very beneficial, with all those in attendance praising the children for their wonderful work.

  Mon 04 Mar 2019

  Yn dilyn haelioni caredig un o gyn ddisgyblion ein hysgol, anrhydeddwyd enillydd cystadleuaeth barddoniaeth eisteddfod yr ysgol eleni gyda chadair eisteddfod cyntaf YGG Pontybrenin. Comisiynwyd y gadair unigryw hon gan Catrin Llwyd, er cof am ei rhieni, Evie a Gwladys Lloyd, a fu'n flaenllaw yn sefydlu Ysgol Gymraeg Pontybrenin ym 1953. Mae'r gadair hefyd wedi ei arysgrifio gydag englyn arbennig, a gomisiynwyd gan Catrin, gan y bardd Emyr Davies. Yn ogystal â chofnodi enw enillydd eleni, bydd y rhodd hyfryd hon yn cofnodi enwau holl enillwyr prif gystadleuaeth yr eisteddfod ysgol am flynyddoedd i ddod a hoffai'r ysgol ddiolch o galon i Catrin am ei haelioni.   

   

  Following the incredible generosity of one of our past pupil, the winner of this year's school eisteddfod poetry competition was honoured by becoming the first ever recipient of the YGG Pontybrenin school eisteddfod chair. This unique gift, which was commissioned especially for the school, was given to us by Catrin Llwyd, in memory of her parents, Evie & Gwladys Lloyd, who were among the founders of YGG Pontybrenin in 1953. The chair is also inscribed with an englyn, which was commissioned by Catrin, and written especially for the school by the poet Emyr Davies. In addition to this year's winner, this wonderful gift will record the names of all future winners of the main school eisteddfod prize and the school would like to pass on its sincere thanks to Catrin for her generosity. Diolch yn fawr iawn!  (4/3/19)
