Annwyl Riant / Warcheidwad,

Byddwn yn cynnal diwrnod gwisg anffurfiol ar Ddydd Iau 18fed o Orffennaf.  Golyga hyn y gall disgyblion wisgo’u dillad anffurfiol yn hytrach na’r wisg ysgol arferol, os dymunant, am ddâl o £1.00. Disgwylir i’r disgyblion lynu wrth y rheolau iechyd a diogelwch ynglŷn â gemwaith.  Bydd yr arian a godir yn mynd tuag at wella adnoddau technoleg gwybodaeth yr ysgol.
 
Diolch i chi am eich cefnogaeth
 
Yr eiddoch yn gywir,
 
Ms. E Bolton
Headteacher

Dear Parent / Guardian,

We will be holding a non-uniform day on Thursday 18th July. This means that pupils can wear their informal clothes rather than the normal school uniform, if they wish, at a cost of £ 1.00. Pupils are expected to adhere to the health and safety rules regarding jewellery. The money raised will go towards improving the school's information technology resources.
 
Thank you for your support
 
Yours sincerely,
 
Ms. E Bolton

Annwyl Riant / Warcheidwad,

Os mae eich plentyn wedi bod yn llwyddiannus yn Taro’r Targed y tymor hwn byddant yn ennill y cyfle i dreulio awr mewn gweithgaredd hwyliog ar ddydd Iau, 18fed Gorffennaf.

Bydd y weithgaredd, cyfres o gyrsiau rhwystr a chestyll gwynt, yn digwydd yng Nghanolfan Bowden ar dir yr ysgol a bydd cwmni proffesiynol yn gyfrifol am y digwyddiad.

Os ydych yn hapus i’ch plentyn fod yn rhan o’r weithgaredd hon a fyddech cystal a llenwi’r rhwyglen byddant yn dod adref gyda nhw a’i dychwelyd i’r Pennaeth Cynnydd neu i’r brif swyddfa erbyn bore dydd Iau.

Mae’n rhaid i ni dderbyn eich caniatad cyn y gallwn ganiatau i’ch plentyn ymgymryd yn y weithgaredd.
Diolch am eich cydweithrediad,

Helen Rogers
Dirprwy Bennaeth

Annwyl Riant / Warcheidwad,

Ar ddydd Gwener 5ed o Orffennaf 2019, cynhelir diwrnod Mabolgampau Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw yn Stadiwm Spytty, Casnewydd.

Bydd mwyafrif o’r disgyblion yn cael eu cludo yn syth i’r Stadiwm, ac yna’n syth adref or Stadiwm yn y prynhawn. Fodd bynnag, os ydych yn byw yn Nhorfaen neu yn teithio ar byses Henllys neu C&R Travel bydd y bws ysgol yn dod â'r plant i'r ysgol fel arfer, a bydd cludiant arall yn eu cymryd i'r Stadiwm. Am 2.30yp byddant wedyn yn cludo disgyblion Torfaen yn ôl i'r ysgol mewn pryd i ddal y bws arferol adref, a’r gweddill yn teithio syth adref.

Ni fydd egwyl na chinio ond bydd cyfle iddynt fwyta eu bwyd yn ystod y dydd. A fyddai modd i’r disgyblion ddod â cinio eu hunain gyda nhw. Mi fydd plant prydau am ddim yn cael cinio.
Croeso i bob rhiant a gwarchiedwad yr ysgol i ddod.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Parent / Guardian,

On Friday 5th July 2019, the School Sports Day will be held at Spytty Stadium, Newport.

The majority of pupils will be collected as usual but taken straight to the Stadium in the morning and transported home from the Stadium in the afternoon.

However, if you live in Torfaen or travel on Henllys or C&R Travel buses the bus will bring the children to school as normal and alternative transport will take them to the Stadium, they will then be transported back to school from the stadium at 2.30pm in time to catch the normal bus home.

We will not break for lunch but there will be an opportunity for the pupils to eat lunch. Please provide packed lunch if possible. Free school meals pupils will be provided lunch.

All parents and guardians are welcome to attend.

Datganiad yma / Statement here

Annwyl Riant/  Warcheidwad,
 
Rydym fel yr ydych yn gwybod yn ceisio am y safonau uchaf yma yng Nqwynllyw. Byddwn felly yn canolbwyntio ar safonau gwisg ar ol yr hanner tymor. Byddwn yn canolbwyntio ar sicrhau bod ein disgyblion yn cydymffurfio o ran gwisgo:

• tei ysgol ar bob cyfrif
• blaser, (nid eu cadw yn y  bag)
• siwmper ysgol nid hwdi
• trwser ysgol nid jîns
• esgidiau du neu trainers sydd yn ddu yn gyfangwbl.

Gobeithio y byddwch yn ein cefnogi yn ein hymgyrch.  Bydd y disgyblion yn derbyn rhybudd clir o ran ein disgwyliadau o ran gwisg ysgol ar ddechrau’r hanner tymor nesaf a bydd unrhywun un sydd ddim yn cydyymffurfio yn mynychu’r Atalfa Fach am ugain munud ar ddechrau amser cinio fel bod canlyniad i’r anghydffurfiaeth.  Gofynnwn yn garedig i chi gefnogi ein hymgyrch.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
 
As you know, here at Gwynllyw we are aiming for the very highest standards in all areas of school life. We will, as part of this, be concentrating on standards in school uniform after half term. We will be concentrating on pupils wearing the following:

• School tie at all times
• School blazer (not keeping them in the bag)
• School jumper not a hoodie
• Black school shoes or trainers that are entirely black

The pupils will receive a clear warning at the beginning of the next half term that there are consequences to not adhering to the school rule regarding uniform and any pupil that does not conform will be expected to attend detention in the Atalfa Fach for twenty minutes at the beginning of lunchtime.  I hope you can support us in our efforts.
 
Yn gywir / Yours sincerely,
 
Miss Elan Bolton
