Yr Urdd/ Eisteddfod
Due to Easter being early this year closing dates and regional eisteddfods are happening earlier than usual in the year. If your child(ren) would like to participate in any musical, singing, recitation or art and craft competitions you will need to join the Urdd as a member.
Snow
The weather forecast shows that there is a small chance of some snow falling in Farteg next week. Can all families please ensure we have up-to-date emergency contact numbers. It is very important that families inform school if they change mobile phone numbers.
If the weather is particularly bad we will update parents via Schoop.
Please ensure you have downloaded the Schoop App.
Once you have downloaded the app the ID for Ysgol Bryn Onnen is 10423.
Pasta Bar
The funky option at lunch time will soon be replaced by a Pasta Bar option. Torfaen Catering have already rolled this at a number of schools and it has been very successful.
There will be a choice of a vegetable sauce or a meat based sauce. A choice of bread roll or garlic bread and a small bowl of salad.
This will be available from Monday, January 22nd.
Please not; this is instead of the funky option, no funky will be available.
Mari Lwyd
We were very lucky to be visited this week by Y Fari Lwyd. Y Fari Lwyd is an ancient Welsh tradition that would happen at the Old Calan (New Year). Groups of people would go around their community carrying the Mari Lwyd and visiting people’s houses. They would challenge each other to sing songs and share messages of good will and good luck for the year ahead. A small amount of beer may have been drunk as well!
A big thank you to Rhodri for coming to school and teaching our older pupils about such an important Welsh tradition.
Clubs
Minecarft Club will start on Monday. Please register using the details on the flyer below. Some children will also bring flyers home today.
Also, the Dads and Lads Fitness sessions which start on Tuesday the 16th of January.

Mwynhewch y penwythnos.
Enjoy the weekend!
Yr eiddoch yn gywir / Yours sincerely,
Mr. Rh ap Gwyn
Pennaeth / Headteacher
