Dear Parents and Carers / Annwyl Rieni a Gwarchodwyr,
It’s been great fun taking part in the Hello Yellow initiative today, to promote the mental health & wellbeing of our school community. Activities took place in class, while raising money for the charity Young Minds. We asked our pupils to come to school wearing yellow and they enjoyed planting daffodils, telling jokes and taking part in some silly photos. Take a look at Twitter over the weekend to get a flavour of what happened today.
Mae wedi bod yn llawer o hwyl cymryd rhan yn y fenter Hello Yellow heddiw, i hyrwyddo iechyd meddwl a lles cymuned ein hysgol. Cynhaliwyd gweithgareddau yn y dosbarth wrth godi arian at yr elusen Young Minds. Gofynnwyd i’n disgyblion ddod i’r ysgol yn gwisgo melyn ac roeddent yn mwynhau plannu cennin Pedr, dweud jôcs a chymryd rhan mewn rhai lluniau gwirion. Cymerwch gip ar Twitter dros y penwythnos i gael blas o’r hyn a ddigwyddodd heddiw.
