Coronavirus

Rydym yn derbyn adroddiadau rheolaidd gan Torfaen a’r llywodraeth am y coronavirus. Mae’r cyngor yn debyg iawn i’r hyn glywch yn y newyddion.

Mae digonedd o sebon a hylif glanhau gyda ni i’r disgyblion a rydym wedi cynnal gwasanaethau am bwysigrwydd golchi dwylo.

Ar hyn o bryd does dim angen cadw plan adref o’r ysgol gyda anwyd. Mae’n bosib y bydd y cyngor yn newid dros amser.

Celf yr Urdd

Rydym yn mynd i greu gwaith celf a chrefft ar gyfer Eisteddfod yr Urdd yn ystod wythnos olaf y tymor. Os oes gan unrhyw rieni syniadau, neu a fyddai yn hoffi helpu, cysylltwch a ni os gwelwch yn dda.

Dear Parent / Guardian,

Congratulations to Kailum who was first in art, Madale who was first in singing, Year 2 group recital who were first and Levi who was third in reciting. And in Key Stage 2 Amelie who was 3^rd in reciting and the folk dancing team who were first.

Cardiff Bay Trip

On Tuesday, Year 4 went to Cardiff Bay to stay overnight at the Urdd Camp. We played ten-pin bowling, watched Onward in the cinema and we went on a boat trip around the bay. But, the best bit of all was having ice-cream. We had lots of fun and met other children from Welsh schools in Caerphilly and made lots of new friends. A big thank you to Mr Watkins, Miss Archer and Mrs Lewis-Creel for taking us there.

Coronavirus

We are receiving regular updates regarding the coronavirus from Torfaen and welsh Government. The advice we receive is very similar to what you will be hearing on the news.

We have plenty of sanitiser and soap available for the children and we have reminded them of the importance of handwashing.

At the moment there is no need to keep children off school with a cold. This advice could change over the coming days – please check Schoop and Twitter for any updates..

Urdd Arts and Crafts

During the last week of term we will be creating art work for the Urdd Eisteddfod. If any parents have ideas or are able to help, please let us know. The theme is “Mountains and Seas”. There are a variety of categories such as photography, puppets, 3D, painting.

Easter

On Friday, April 3^rd we will be holding an Easter bonnet/ decorated hairstyle day for the children. There will be prizes for the best bonnet/hair in each class. The PTA will also be hosting an Easter themed bake off. Parents will be invited to school at 2 00 for a coffee afternoon and prizes will be given for the best cakes/biscuits baked by every class. Why not come to school for the afternoon to help with art work and then enjoy the PTA’s coffee afternoon.

Mwynhewch y penwythnos.

Enjoy the weekend!

Yr eiddoch yn gywir / Yours sincerely,

Mr. Rh ap Gwyn
