  Llongyfarchiadau mawr i Ysgol Gymraeg Pontybrenin ar ennill 'Her Ddarllen yr Haf' yn Llyfrgell Gorseinon.

• Blwyddyn 3 yn ymaelodi a Llyfrgell Gorseinon / Year 3 registering with Gorseinon Library

  Tue 17 Sep 2019

  Mae pob disgybl yng CA2 yn cael y cyfle i ymweld â Llyfrgell Gorseinon yn fisol er mwyn manteisio ar yr amrywiaeth hyfryd o lyfrau sydd ar gynnig iddynt. Heddiw, tro disgyblion Blwyddyn 3 oedd hi i gerdded i'r llyfrgell ac ymaelodi, gyda phawb yn edrych ymlaen at benthyg eu hoff lyfrau am y tro cyntaf. Gyda phob blwyddyn ysgol yng CA2 yn cerdded i'r llyfrgell pob 4 wythnos, yr unig amod ar y plant yw eu bod nhw'n gofalu am y llyfrau ac yn eu dychwelyd nhw i'r llyfrgell ar ôl eu darllen.  

   

  Every pupil in KS2 has the opportunity to visit Gorseinon Library on a monthly basis and can take full advantage of the wonderful selection of books they have on offer. Today it was the turn of our Year 3 pupils to walk to the library and enrol as new members, with everyone looking forward to borrowing their favourite books for the first time. Every year group in KS2 walks to the library once every 4 weeks and all we ask is that pupils keep the library's books safe and in good condition and that they're returned promptly after reading. (17/9/19).

• Diwrnod Ymwybyddiaeth Awtistiaeth / Autism Awareness Day

  Tue 02 Apr 2019

  Er mwyn codi ymwybyddiaeth awtistiaeth fel rhan o Wythnos Ymwybyddiaeth Awtistiaeth, cynhelir nifer o weithgareddau yn yr ysgol, gan gynnwys gwisgo dillad amryliw, cystadlu yng nghwis Ann Hegerty a chynllunio a chreu enfysau ein hunain. Mwynheodd pawb mas draw a dysgon ni lawer am yr anabledd datblygiadol hyn a sut mae'n effeithio ar gymaint o bobl.

   

  In order to raise awareness of autism as part of Autism Awareness Week, we organised a number of activities in school, including dressing up in all the colours of the spectrum, competing against each other in Ann Hegerty's Quiz and designing our very own rainbows. We had a great time and learnt a lot about this developmental disability and how it affects people. (2/4/19)
