Edrych Ymlaen – Meithrin Twf
Yn Ysgol Panteg, credwn fod datblygu ymddygiad cadarnhaol yn daith barhaus, un sy'n ymestyn y tu hwnt i blentyndod ac i fod yn oedolyn. Drwy feithrin arferion gydol oes o barch, cyfrifoldeb a charedigrwydd, rydym yn helpu plant i adeiladu sylfaen foesol gref sy'n eu paratoi i ymgysylltu'n hyderus â'r byd. Nid yw'r gwerthoedd hyn yn ymwneud â dilyn rheolau yn unig—maent yn llunio sut mae plant yn rhyngweithio ag eraill, yn mynd ati i heriau, ac yn cyfrannu at eu cymunedau. Gyda'r gefnogaeth a'r adnoddau cywir, gall teuluoedd ac addysgwyr sicrhau bod plant yn tyfu'n unigolion tosturiol, cyfrifol sy'n deall pwysigrwydd trin eraill â thegwch ac uniondeb.
Fel y gwyddoch o fy mwletinau blaenorol, rydym wedi bod yn gweithio'n galed i ddiweddaru ein Polisi Ymddygiad Cadarnhaol y gellir ei ganfod ar ein gwefan drwy ddilyn y ddolen hon: https://www.ysgolpanteg.cymru/5.
Mae parch yn un o gonglfeini rhyngweithio cymdeithasol cadarnhaol. Mae dysgu plant i werthfawrogi gwahaniaethau, gwrando'n astud, a thrin eraill â chwrteisi yn meithrin ymdeimlad o ddealltwriaeth a chydymdeimlad. Drwy fodelu parch—boed drwy eiriau caredig, gwrando’n weithredol, neu ystyried teimladau pobl eraill—mae oedolion yn rhoi’r offer i blant ddatblygu perthnasoedd iach. Mae annog cyfrifoldeb ochr yn ochr â pharch yn sicrhau bod plant yn dysgu bod yn atebol am eu gweithredoedd. Pan fyddant yn deall bod eu dewisiadau’n effeithio nid yn unig arnyn nhw eu hunain ond hefyd ar y rhai o’u cwmpas, maent yn meithrin ymdeimlad o berchnogaeth dros eu hymddygiad. Boed yn cwblhau tasgau, yn dilyn disgwyliadau’r ysgol, neu’n gwneud penderfyniadau meddylgar, mae cyfrifoldeb yn helpu plant i ennill annibyniaeth a datblygu barn foesol gref.
Mae caredigrwydd yn atgyfnerthu parch a chyfrifoldeb drwy annog plant i feddwl y tu hwnt i’w hunain a chyfrannu’n weithredol at amgylchedd cadarnhaol. Mae gweithredoedd bach o garedigrwydd—helpu ffrind, cynnig geiriau calonogol, neu gefnogi rhywun mewn angen—yn dangos bod haelioni a thosturi yn cryfhau cymunedau. Pan fydd plant yn gweld caredigrwydd yn cael ei fodelu’n rheolaidd, maent yn fwy tebygol o’i fewnoli fel rhan naturiol a hanfodol o fywyd. Gall teuluoedd ac addysgwyr gefnogi’r ymddygiadau hyn drwy ddathlu eiliadau o barch, cyfrifoldeb a charedigrwydd, gan sicrhau bod plant yn cydnabod eu pwysigrwydd mewn rhyngweithiadau dyddiol.
Er mwyn meithrin yr arferion gydol oes hyn, mae’n hanfodol darparu adnoddau ac arweiniad i blant wedi’u teilwra i’w hanghenion. Mae llyfrau ac adrodd straeon yn offer pwerus ar gyfer atgyfnerthu ymddygiadau cadarnhaol, gan fod plant yn aml yn cysylltu'n ddwfn â naratifau sy'n tynnu sylw at themâu cyfeillgarwch, dyfalbarhad, a dewisiadau moesol. Rydym yn integreiddio llenyddiaeth briodol i oedran sy'n dysgu'r gwerthoedd hyn mewn ffyrdd deniadol, tra gall teuluoedd annog trafodaethau gartref am wersi a ddysgwyd o straeon a phrofiadau. Gall teuluoedd annog hyn hefyd trwy ymgysylltu â straeon neu nofelau a thrafod rhyngweithiadau cymeriadau.
Yn Ysgol Panteg, rydym wedi ymrwymo i weithio ochr yn ochr â theuluoedd i feithrin twf cadarnhaol ym mhob plentyn. Trwy atgyfnerthu'r gwerthoedd hyn gartref ac yn yr ysgol, rydym yn creu amgylchedd lle mae plant yn teimlo'n ddiogel, wedi'u cymell, ac wedi'u grymuso i gario'r egwyddorion hyn i fod yn oedolion.

Cystadleuaeth Logo'r Urdd 2027
Yn 2027, mae eisteddfod yr Urdd yn dod i Went. Mae Pwyllgor yr eisteddfod yn gwahodd plant a phobl ifanc dan 25 oed o Ranbarth Gwent (Caerffili, Torfaen, Casnewydd, Blaenau Gwent a Mynwy) i ddylunio logo ar gyfer eisteddfod yr Urdd 2027. Enw'r eisteddfod yw "Eisteddfod yr Urdd Bro'r Weynen, Gwent 2027".
Bydd angen cynnwys enw'r eisteddfod a chyfeiriad at ardaloedd Gwent. Mae "Bro'r Wenynen" yn cyfeirio at Wenynen Gwent, Arglwyddes Llanofer, Augusta Hall (1802 - 1896) a helpodd yr iaith Gymraeg yn ardal Llanofer, Sir Fynwy. Hi oedd yn gyfrifol am ailsefydlu'r arfer o wisgo'r wisg Gymreig a'i moderneiddio. Treuliodd Arglwyddes Llanofer ei hoes hir yn adfer yr iaith Gymraeg ac arferion a thraddodiadau'r bobl Gymreig yn ei hardal enedigol yng Ngwent. Noddodd delynorion, cerddorion a beirdd. Adferodd y delyn deires, dawnsio a chanu gwerin, y wisg Gymreig, y Fari Lwyd, y Plygain, a llawer mwy. Enw barddonol yr Arglwyddes Llanofer oedd 'Gwenynen Gwent'.
Anfonwch eich gwaith drwy e-bost at urdd@ysgolpanteg.cymru neu dewch â'ch gwaith i'r ysgol wedi'i labelu'n glir a chyda'ch enw a'ch ysgol cyn y 3ydd o Fehefin. Bydd y logo buddugol yn cael ei ddefnyddio i greu'r logo swyddogol ar gyfer yr eisteddfod.

Looking Ahead – Nurturing Growth
At Ysgol Panteg, we believe that developing positive behaviour is an ongoing journey, one that extends beyond childhood and into adulthood. By fostering lifelong habits of respect, responsibility, and kindness, we help children build a strong moral foundation that prepares them to engage confidently with the world. These values are not simply about following rules—they shape how children interact with others, approach challenges, and contribute to their communities. With the right support and resources, families and educators can ensure that children grow into compassionate, responsible individuals who understand the importance of treating others with fairness and integrity.
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.
Respect is one of the cornerstones of positive social interactions. Teaching children to appreciate differences, listen attentively, and treat others with courtesy fosters a sense of mutual understanding and empathy. By modelling respect—whether through kind words, active listening, or consideration for others’ feelings—adults provide children with the tools to develop healthy relationships. Encouraging responsibility alongside respect ensures that children learn to be accountable for their actions. When they understand that their choices affect not only themselves but also those around them, they build a sense of ownership over their behaviour. Whether completing tasks, following school expectations, or making thoughtful decisions, responsibility helps children gain independence and develop strong moral judgement.
Kindness reinforces both respect and responsibility by encouraging children to think beyond themselves and actively contribute to a positive environment. Small acts of kindness—helping a friend, offering words of encouragement, or supporting someone in need—demonstrate that generosity and compassion strengthen communities. When children see kindness modelled regularly, they are more likely to internalise it as a natural and essential part of life. Families and educators can support these behaviours by celebrating moments of respect, responsibility, and kindness, ensuring children recognise their importance in daily interactions.
To nurture these lifelong habits, it is essential to provide children with resources and guidance tailored to their needs. Books and storytelling are powerful tools for reinforcing positive behaviours, as children often connect deeply with narratives that highlight themes of friendship, perseverance, and moral choices. We integrate age-appropriate literature that teaches these values in engaging ways, while families can encourage discussions at home about lessons learned from stories and experiences. Families can encourage this too by engaging in stories or novels and discussing characters’ interactions.
At Ysgol Panteg, we are committed to working alongside families to nurture positive growth in every child. By reinforcing these values both at home and at school, we create an environment where children feel secure, motivated, and empowered to carry these principles into adulthood.

Urdd 2027 Logo Competition
In 2027, the Urdd Eisteddfod is coming to Gwent. The Committee of the Eisteddfod invites children and young people under the age of 25 from the Gwent Region (Caerphilly, Torfaen, Newport, Blaenau Gwent and Monmouth) to design a logo for the Urdd Eisteddfod 2027. The name of the Eisteddfod is "Eisteddfod yr Urdd Bro'r Weynen, Gwent 2027".
It will be necessary to include the name of the Eisteddfod and a reference to the areas of Gwent. "Bro'r Wenynen" refers to the Bee of Gwent, the Lady of Llanofer, Augusta Hall (1802 - 1896) who helped the Welsh language in the Llanofer area, Monmouthshire. She was responsible for re-establishing the practice of wearing the Welsh uniform and modernising it. Lady Llanofer spent her long life restoring the Welsh language and the customs and traditions of the Welsh folk in her home area of Gwent. He sponsored harpists, musicians and poets. She restored the triple harp, folk dancing and singing, the Welsh costume, the Fari Lwyd, the Plygain, and much more. Lady Llanofer's poetic name was 'Gwenynen Gwent'.
Email your entry to urdd@ysgolpanteg.cymru or bring your work into the school clearly labelled and with your name and school before the 3rd of June. The winning logo will be used to create the official logo for the Eisteddfod.
YEAR 6
Year 6 Cluster Transition Concert at Pontypool Active Living Centre
On the 19th of June, our Year 6 children will be taking part in a concert with all the other schools who feed Ysgol Gymraeg Gwynllyw! We started this last year and it was hugely successful!

We have organised a bus (no charge to families) to Pontypool Active Living Centre.
Our kitchen will supply a packed lunch for the children. However, I advise extra water bottles for the day since it is likely to be very hot.
The children will have their final rehearsal in the morning.
At 12:45pm, families are invited to watch the concert. Two tickets will be offered to families initially and then we will distribute any spares.
Doors will open 30 minutes before.
Children will then be able to go home with their families.
Please fill out the following form to let us know how many tickets you will need, lunch options, and whether they will need transport home. Please fill this in by next Thursday, 22/05/2025 at 9:00am.
