Annog Partneriaeth Gadarnhaol Rhwng y Cartref a'r Ysgol yn Ysgol Panteg
Yn Ysgol Panteg, credwn fod meithrin ymddygiad cadarnhaol yn fwyaf effeithiol pan fydd yr ysgol a'r cartref yn cydweithio i greu amgylchedd cyson a chefnogol. Pan fydd plant yn profi'r un disgwyliadau yn yr ysgol a'r cartref, maent yn datblygu dealltwriaeth glir o ffiniau, parch a chyfrifoldeb. Mae partneriaeth gref rhwng ein hysgol a'n teuluoedd yn atgyfnerthu'r gwerthoedd hyn, gan helpu plant i gydnabod bod ymddygiad da yn bwysig ym mhob agwedd ar eu bywydau—nid yn yr ystafell ddosbarth yn unig.
Fel y gwyddoch o fy mwletinau blaenorol, rydym wedi bod yn gweithio'n galed i ddiweddaru ein Polisi Ymddygiad Cadarnhaol, sydd i'w gael ar ein gwefan drwy ddilyn y ddolen hon: https://www.ysgolpanteg.cymru/5.
Mae cyfathrebu rhwng Ysgol Panteg a'n teuluoedd yn allweddol i gynnal y bartneriaeth hon. Gobeithio bod pob teulu'n deall bod gennym bolisi drws agored a'n bod yn ceisio eich cadw'n wybodus am ymddygiad cadarnhaol a negyddol. Mae ein system ClassDojo yn ffordd wych o weld sut mae eich plentyn yn gwneud a'u rhyngweithiadau cadarnhaol fel y gallwch atgyfnerthu gartref. Mae ein staff yn defnyddio ClassDojo drwy gydol y dydd, fodd bynnag, rwy'n annog staff i sicrhau eu bod yn ymateb o fewn eu horiau gwaith ar gyfer eu cydbwysedd rhwng bywyd a gwaith.
Rydym am sicrhau bod rhieni'n deall ein dull o reoli ymddygiad, gan gynnwys gwobrau a sancsiynau, fel bod plant yn derbyn negeseuon cyson lle bynnag y bônt. Pan fydd teuluoedd yn cefnogi canllawiau'r ysgol, mae plant yn gweld bod eu hymddygiad yn bwysig a bod disgwyliadau'n aros yr un fath, boed gartref, yn yr ysgol, neu o fewn y gymuned ehangach.
Un ffordd bwysig y gall teuluoedd gryfhau'r bartneriaeth hon yw trwy atgyfnerthu unrhyw sancsiynau a roddir gan yr ysgol. Pan fydd plant yn derbyn canlyniadau am ymddygiad aflonyddgar neu amhriodol, mae cefnogi'r penderfyniadau hyn gartref yn atgyfnerthu atebolrwydd. Os yw plentyn yn deall bod eu gweithredoedd yn yr ysgol yn cario goblygiadau y tu hwnt i'r ystafell ddosbarth, maent yn fwy tebygol o gymryd cyfrifoldeb a myfyrio ar sut y gallant wella. Er enghraifft, os gofynnir i blentyn gwblhau tasg fel rhan o sancsiwn ymddygiadol, mae eu hannog i wneud hynny gartref yn dangos iddynt fod eu hymddygiad yn cael ei gymryd o ddifrif a bod dysgu o gamgymeriadau yn rhan o dwf personol.
Ochr yn ochr ag atgyfnerthu ffiniau, mae dathlu ymddygiad cadarnhaol yr un mor bwysig. Yn Ysgol Panteg, rydym yn cydnabod ac yn annog plant i ymgorffori ein Pedwar Panteg: bod yn garedig, bod yn deulu, bod yn frwdfrydig ac yn uchelgeisiol. Gall rhieni gefnogi datblygiad cadarnhaol eu plentyn trwy drafod eiliadau lle dangoson nhw barch, amynedd, neu gyfrifoldeb, gan eu helpu i ddeall bod y rhinweddau hyn yn cael eu gwerthfawrogi nid yn unig yn yr ysgol, ond yn eu bywydau beunyddiol.
Yn y pen draw, mae partneriaeth gref rhwng y cartref a'r ysgol yn sicrhau bod plant yn derbyn negeseuon clir a chyson am ymddygiad. Trwy gydweithio—atgyfnerthu ymddygiad cadarnhaol, cefnogi canllawiau'r ysgol, a chynnal cyfathrebu agored—gallwn greu amgylchedd lle mae ein plant yn teimlo'n ddiogel, yn cael eu parchu, ac yn cael eu grymuso i wneud dewisiadau meddylgar.

Penwythnos Gwych o Chwaraeon!
Roedd yn benwythnos cyffrous a llawn gweithgareddau i dimau chwaraeon ein hysgolion wrth iddynt arddangos eu dawn a’u penderfyniad mewn dwy gystadleuaeth wych!
Ddydd Sadwrn, teithiodd tîm pêl-droed y merched i Aberystwyth i gystadlu yn rownd Cymru gyfan ar ôl eu llwyddiant anhygoel rai misoedd yn ôl. I ddathlu’r Ewros, cymerodd timau o bob rhan o Gymru ran, pob un yn cynrychioli cenedl wahanol—roedd ein tîm yn falch o wisgo lliwiau’r Alban. Chwaraeodd y merched gyda chalon, medrusrwydd, a gwaith tîm diwyro, gan wneud ein hysgol yn falch o'u perfformiadau rhagorol.
Yna, ddydd Sul, aeth tîm rygbi tag Blwyddyn 4 i’r cae ar gyfer eu cystadleuaeth eu hunain. Rhoddodd y chwaraewyr eu gorau, gan ddangos ystwythder trawiadol, gwaith tîm, a sbortsmonaeth trwy gydol y dydd. Roedd eu hymroddiad a’u brwdfrydedd yn wirioneddol ysbrydoledig, a dylent oll fod yn hynod falch o’u hymdrechion.
Da iawn i'n holl athletwyr am eu gwaith caled a'u penderfyniad. Edrychwn ymlaen at eu gweld yn parhau i ffynnu mewn cystadlaethau yn y dyfodol!

Rydym wrth ein bodd yn gweld teuluoedd newydd yn dod yn rhan o’n cymuned, a gallai eich argymhelliad wneud byd o wahaniaeth i’w helpu i ddewis yr ysgol iawn!

Encouraging a Positive Home-School Partnership at Ysgol Panteg
At Ysgol Panteg, we believe that fostering positive behaviour is most effective when school and home work together to create a consistent and supportive environment. When children experience the same expectations at school and home, they develop a clear understanding of boundaries, respect, and responsibility. A strong partnership between our school and families reinforces these values, helping children recognise that good behaviour is important in all aspects of their lives—not just in the classroom.
As you will know from my previous bulletins, we have been working hard to update our Positive Behaviour Policy which can be found on our website by following this link: https://www.ysgolpanteg.cymru/5.
Communication between Ysgol Panteg and our families is key to maintaining this partnership. I hope that all families understand that we have an open-door policy and that we try to keep you informed of both positive and negative behaviour. Our ClassDojo system is a great way of seeing how your child is doing and their positive interactions so you can reinforce at home. Our staff utilise ClassDojo throughout the day, however, I do encourage staff to ensure that they respond within their working hours for their work-life balance.
We want to ensure parents understand our approach to behaviour management, including rewards and sanctions, so that children receive consistent messages wherever they are. When families support the school’s guidance, children see that their behaviour matters and that expectations remain the same, whether they are at home, in school, or within the wider community.
One important way families can strengthen this partnership is by reinforcing any sanctions given by the school. When children receive consequences for disruptive or inappropriate behaviour, backing these decisions at home reinforces accountability. If a child understands that their actions in school carry implications beyond the classroom, they are more likely to take responsibility and reflect on how they can improve. For example, if a child is asked to complete a task as part of a behavioural sanction, encouraging them to do so at home shows them that their behaviour is taken seriously and that learning from mistakes is part of personal growth.
Alongside reinforcing boundaries, celebrating positive behaviour is just as important. At Ysgol Panteg, we recognise and encourage children to embody our Pedwar Panteg: being kind, being a family, being fired-up and being ambitious. Parents can support their child’s positive development by discussing moments where they demonstrated respect, patience, or responsibility, helping them understand that these qualities are valued not just at school, but in their daily lives.
Ultimately, a strong home-school partnership ensures children receive clear, consistent messages about behaviour. By working together—reinforcing positive conduct, supporting school guidance, and maintaining open communication—we can create an environment where our children feel secure, respected, and empowered to make thoughtful choices.

A Fantastic Weekend of Sport!
It was an exciting and action-packed weekend for our school’s sports teams as they showcased their talent and determination in two fantastic competitions!
On Saturday, the girls' football team traveled to Aberystwyth to compete in the all-Wales round after their incredible success a few months ago. In celebration of the Euros, teams from across Wales took part, each representing a different nation—our team proudly donned the colours of Scotland. The girls played with heart, skill, and unwavering teamwork, making our school proud with their outstanding performances.
Then, on Sunday, the Year 4 tag rugby team took to the field for their own competition. The players gave it their all, demonstrating impressive agility, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout the day. Their dedication and enthusiasm were truly inspiring, and they should all be extremely proud of their efforts.
A huge well done to all our athletes for their hard work and determination. We look forward to seeing them continue to thrive in future competitions!
