Dathliad Gŵyl Ddewi
Yn ôl yr arfer buom yn dathlu dydd ein nawddsant. Braf oedd gweld y neuadd chwaraeon dan ei sang gyda’r
disgyblion a’r staff oll yn mwynhau’r achlysur ac yn gwisgo coch dros Gymru. Cafwyd cyngerdd dathlu
talentau’r ysgol a chyhoeddwyd canlyniadau’r cystadlaethau gwaith cartref. Llongyfarchiadau i’r buddugwyr a
enillodd dlysau.
Cynhaliwyd Seremoni Cadeirio’r prif lenor, sef y sawl a gyflwynodd y gwaith llenyddol gorau - yn rhyddiaith neu
farddoniaeth. Cipiwyd y gadair eleni gan Annie Owen, sy’n fyfyriwr ym ml.11. Llongyfarchiadau iddi ar ei
llwyddiant.
Ar y Carped Coch
Roedd hi’n ddiwrnod mawr i Alexa Davies, Bl. 13 ganol mis Mawrth. Mae hi’n ymddangos mewn ffilm o’r enw
Vinyl, sy’n rhoi hanes digwyddiad ym mywyd Mike Peters, prif ganwr yr Alarm. Dangoswyd y ffilm am y tro
cyntaf yn theatr yr Empire, Leicester Square, Llundain ac roedd Alexa yno yng nghanol holl sêr byd y ffilmiau.
Enillwyr Cenedlaethol
Mae enw Ysgol Glan Clwyd wedi dod yn un mawr ei bri ym maes gwrth-hiliaeth, diolch i griw o ddisgyblion Bl.
9. Mewn seremoni fawreddog a gynhaliwyd yng ngwesty’r Marriot, Caerdydd ddechrau’r mis, enillodd eu
fideo gategori’r cyfryngau mewn cystadleuaeth genedlaethol a drefnwyd gan yr elusen Dangos y Cerdyn Coch i
Hiliaeth. Cafodd y disgyblion a’u hathrawes, Miss Bethan Dosbon Jones eu trin fel enwogion ac roedd gwylio’u
fideo ar sgriniau mawr yn wefr iddynt. Mae’r fideo yn un grymus a thrawiadol iawn, ac roedd nifer o’r
gynulleidfa yn eu dagrau wrth ei wylio. Enillodd y grŵp wyth tocyn i weld tîm rygbi Cymru yn hyfforddi yn
Stadiwm y Mileniwm a chyfle i gwrdd â’r chwaraewyr, ac wyth tocyn VIP i gêm bêl-droed ryngwladol Cymru.

perfformiadau.
Darganfod Elfennau
Fel rhan o wythnos genedlaethol gwyddoniaeth 2013, gwisgodd staff Adran Wyddoniaeth Ysgol Glan Clwyd fel
elfen o’u dewis. Cafwyd grant o £200 i dalu am wisgoedd a oedd yn cynnwys Heliwm, Copr, Aur Hydrogen,
Calsiwm ac eraill. Bu’r disgyblion yn holi ac yn casglu gwybodaeth am yr elfennau gan lenwi taflenni yn ystod y

theuluoedd yn Plouay ac yn Lanester ger Lorient. Manteisiodd y grŵp ar bob cyfle i ymarfer eu Ffrangeg (a'u

Quimper ac â ffatri bisgedi yn Concarneau. Cawsant ddiwrnod o addysg yn dilyn gwersi eu ffrindiau Llydewig
yn yr ysgol ac aethant i fest noz ar y nos Sadwrn, sef dawnsio gwerin traddodiadol Llydewig. Roedd yr
athrawon ar y daith (Miss Helen Parry, Mr Ian Griffiths a Mr David Williams) yn canmol agwedd bositif ac
ymddygiad ardderchog y disgyblion. Mae'r Llydäwyr yn bwriadu ymweld ag Ysgol Glan Clwyd ym mis Medi.

sesiynau yw dysgu ieithoedd mewn ffordd ddiddorol a hwylus megis drwy gemau. Y tymor diwethaf, Sbaeneg
oedd yn cael y sylw ac ar ôl hanner tymor, mi fydd Eidaleg yn cael ei gynnig. Parliamo italiano!
Achosion Dyngarol
Mae’r ysgol yn ymfalchïo’n fawr yn ymdrechion yr ysgol i ymgyrch Diwrnod y Trwynau Coch - casglwyd £3366

Cynhadledd 14-19

Ddiwedd tymor y Gwanwyn cynhaliwyd cynhadledd yn Llangollen i ddathlu addysg 14-19. Cynrychiolwyd yr
ysgol gan ddisgyblion o flwyddyn 12 a 13 ac roedd sglein hynod o broffesiynol ar eu gwaith.
Cwrs Iaith Arwyddo
Daeth Richard Jones a'i ddehonglwr o goleg Llandrillo i roi cwrs tair awr ar iaith arwyddo a gwybodaeth
ychwanegol am fod yn fyddar. Cafodd y disgyblion ddysgu nifer o themâu arwyddo, e.e. sut i ofyn am enw
rhywun, gwahanol fwydydd, rhifau a sut i ddweud yr amser. Cafwyd bore hynod o ddifyr a gwych oedd gweld
hyder y disgyblion wrth i'r cwrs ddod i ben.
Seremoni Cofnod Cyrhaeddiad
Yn ôl arfer yr ysgol, cafwyd seremoni urddasol a chofiadwy iawn yn yr Eglwys Gadeiriol ar Fai 9fed. Roedd yn

Leicester Square, London and Alexa was there in the midst of all the stars of the movie world.
National Winners
Ysgol Glan Clwyd's name has become well-known in the field of anti-racism, thanks to a group of Yr. 9 pupils. At
a glittering ceremony held at the Marriot Hotel, Cardiff earlier this month, their video won the media category
in a national competition organized by the charity Show Racism the Red Card. The pupils, along with their
teacher, Miss Bethan Dobson Jones, were treated like celebrities and watching their video on big screens was
thrilling for them. The video is very powerful and impressive, and many of the schools that attended the event
have expressed a wish to use the video as a resource in their school. The group won eight tickets to see the
Wales rugby team train at the Millennium Stadium and a chance to meet the players, and eight VIP tickets to a
Wales international football match.

Plouay and Lanester near Lorient. The group took advantage of every opportunity to practice their French (and
Breton!) and to test the Breton culture. The pupils visited the aquarium in St. Malo, the market in Quimper and
a biscuit factory in Concarneau. They had a day of education attending their Breton friends’ school lessons and
went to a fest noz on Saturday evening, traditional Breton folk dancing. The teachers on the trip (Miss Helen
Parry, Mr Ian Griffiths and Mr David Williams) praised the positive attitude and excellent conduct of the pupils.
The Bretons are planning to visit Ysgol Glan Clwyd in September.

represented by pupils from years 12 and 13 and their presentations were very professional.
Sign Language Course
Richard Jones and his interpreter came from Llandrillo College to give a three-hour course on sign language and
additional information about being deaf. Students had to learn a number of themes in sign language, e.g. how
to ask for someone's name, different foods, numbers and how to tell the time. It was a fascinating morning and
it was great to see pupils' confidence increase as the course progressed.
Record of Achievement Ceremony
As is usual in the school year, there was a very memorable and dignified ceremony in the Cathedral on May 9th.
It was an opportunity to be proud of our young people and to wish them well for the future. The guest of

equipment and clothing company, Asbrigolf. This company had a licence to sell goods at the Ryder Cup in
