Cadw'n Ddiogel mewn Ton Wres

Gyda thymheredd yn codi, mae'n bwysig ein bod ni i gyd yn cymryd camau i gadw'n ddiogel ac yn iach yn ystod tywydd poeth. Boed yn yr ysgol, gartref, neu allan, gall ychydig o ragofalon syml helpu i amddiffyn plant ac aelodau eraill o'r teulu rhag effeithiau gwres eithafol.

Hydradu

Gwnewch yn siŵr bod pawb yn y teulu yn yfed digon o ddŵr drwy gydol y dydd. Rydym yn annog plant i ddod â photel ddŵr ail-lenwi i'r ysgol a chymryd sipiau rheolaidd. Osgowch ddiodydd siwgrog neu befriog, a all gyfrannu at ddadhydradu.

Gwisgwch ar gyfer y Tywydd

Dewiswch ddillad lliw golau, llac wedi'u gwneud o ffabrigau anadlu fel cotwm. Mae hetiau'n cynnig amddiffyniad ychwanegol pan fyddwch chi yn yr awyr agored. Byddai'n well gen i pe bai plant yn gyfforddus gyda'u dillad - felly os yw hyn yn golygu nad yw plant mewn gwisg ysgol yn ystod y gwres hwn, mae hynny'n hollol iawn. Rhieni Blwyddyn 6: anogwch nhw i beidio â gwisgo hwdis eu plant sy'n gadael - mae'n ymddangos eu bod nhw eisiau eu gwisgo bob awr o'r don wres hon!

Amddiffyn rhag yr Haul

Rhowch eli haul (SPF 30 neu uwch) cyn gadael y tŷ, a gallwch anfon rhywfaint i mewn (wedi'i labelu) fel y gall eich plentyn ei ail-roi. Byddwn yn addasu amseroedd chwarae yn ôl yr angen i osgoi plant rhag bod allan os yw'n rhy boeth.

Jambori'r Urdd - ATGOF OLAF

Peidiwch ag anghofio bod talu am Jambori'r Urdd yn cau yfory (02/07/2025). Ar ôl yfory ni fyddwn yn gallu derbyn unrhyw archebion pellach gan fod angen i ni dalu'r Urdd yn uniongyrchol am y lleoedd.

Cynhelir jambori'r Urdd yng Nghanolfan Byw Egnïol Pont-y-pŵl ar y 14eg o Orffennaf. Darperir cinio ar ffurf pecyn cinio o gegin yr ysgol. Bydd angen i blant gyrraedd erbyn yr amser gollwng arferol a byddant yn dychwelyd ar gyfer y trefniadau casglu arferol ar ddiwedd y dydd.

Bydd cyfanswm cost yr ymweliad, gan gynnwys cludiant, yn £5 y plentyn. Rhoddir gostyngiad o 10% i'r plant hynny sy'n derbyn Grant Datblygu Disgyblion. Er mwyn talu am y daith hon bydd angen i chi fewngofnodi i CivicaPay. Gallwch gael mynediad at hyn trwy fynd i dudalen we Torfaen a chlicio ar 'Gwneud Taliad Ysgol'.

Os ydych chi'n cael anhawster talu am y daith hon, am resymau technegol neu unrhyw beth arall, cysylltwch â swyddfa'r ysgol [office.ysgolpanteg@torfaen.gov.uk] cyn gynted â phosibl er mwyn i ni allu eich cynorthwyo.

Trosolwg Un Dudalen o Adroddiadau Cynnydd - Atgof

Rydym yn falch o rannu y bydd ein hadroddiadau trosolwg un dudalen - sy'n cynnig crynodeb clir o gynnydd pob disgybl y tymor hwn - yn cael eu dosbarthu i deuluoedd yfory (ddydd Mercher). Mae'r adroddiadau hyn yn rhoi cipolwg gwerthfawr ar gyflawniadau a datblygiad eich plentyn ar draws meysydd dysgu allweddol.

Gwyddom o adborth blaenorol fod y fformat cryno hwn yn ei gwneud hi'n haws i deuluoedd ymgysylltu â thaith eu plentyn hyd yn hyn a'i dathlu.

Mae hyn yn rhan o'n hymrwymiad i'ch cadw'n gyfredol â chynnydd eich plant. Eleni, rydych wedi cael dau gyfle ffurfiol i gyfarfod â'ch athro dosbarth ar gyfer 'Cyfarfodydd Cynnydd a Llesiant Disgyblion'. Yn ogystal, rydych wedi cael trosolwg un dudalen o gynnydd cyn y Nadolig ac adroddiad llawn cyn y Pasg.

Cysylltwch â'ch athro dosbarth trwy ClassDojo os yw'ch amgylchiadau wedi newid a bydd angen ail gopi o adroddiad eich plentyn arnoch.

Mae croeso i chi gysylltu â'ch athro dosbarth i drefnu galwad ffôn neu gyfarfod os oes gennych unrhyw bryderon yn dilyn yr adroddiad hwn.

Staying Safe in a Heatwave

With rising temperatures, it’s important that we all take steps to stay safe and well during hot weather. Whether at school, at home, or out and about, a few simple precautions can help protect children and other members of the family from the effects of extreme heat.

Keep Hydrated

Make sure everyone in the family drinks plenty of water throughout the day. We encourage children to bring a refillable water bottle to school and take regular sips. Avoid sugary or fizzy drinks, which can contribute to dehydration.

Dress for the Weather

Choose light-coloured, loose-fitting clothing made from breathable fabrics like cotton. Hats offer extra protection when outdoors. I'd rather children were comfortable with their clothing - so if this means that during this heat children are not in school uniform, that is completely fine. Years 6 parents: please encourage them not to wear their leavers' hoodies - they seem to want to wear them every hour of thiw heatwave!

Protect from the Sun

Apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) before leaving the house, and you may send some in (labelled) so that your child can reapply. We will amend play times as necessary to avoid children being out if it is too hot.

YEARS 1 AND 2

One-Page Overview of Progress Reports - Reminder

We’re pleased to share that our one-page overview reports - offering a clear summary of each pupil’s progress this term- will be distributed to families tomorrow (Wednesday). These reports provide valuable insights into your child’s achievements and development across key learning areas.

We know from previous feedback that this concise format makes it easier for families to engage with and celebrate their child’s journey so far.

This is part of our commitment to keeping you up to date with your children progress. This year, you have had two formal opportunities to meet with your class teacher for ‘Pupil Progress and Wellbeing Meetings’. In addition, you’ve had a one-page overview of progress before Christmas and a full report before Easter.

Please contact your class teacher via ClassDojo if your circumstances have changed and you will require a second copy of your child’s report.

You are welcome to contact you class teacher to arrange a phone call or meeting if you have any concerns following this report.
