Yr Hen Wraig yn y Botel Finegr: Stori am Hapusrwydd

Unwaith roedd hen wraig yn byw mewn potel finegr. Potel fach iawn ydoedd, a threuliodd yr hen wraig lawer o'i hamser yn sgleinio'r waliau gwydr. Gwnaeth hyn hi'n flin iawn.

"O diar," byddai hi'n dweud, "am fywyd ofnadwy rydw i'n ei fyw, yn byw yn y botel hon, lle gall pawb fy ngweld. Hoffwn pe gallwn fyw mewn bwthyn gyda gardd fach a llenni les wrth y ffenestr. Byddwn i'n hapus wedyn!"

Un diwrnod, wrth iddi ddweud y pethau hyn wrthi ei hun, hedfanodd angel heibio a chlywed geiriau'r hen wraig. Teimlai'r angel drueni drosti, ac mewn fflach, trowyd y botel finegr yn fwthyn bach, gyda llenni les wrth y ffenestr a gardd bert. Edrychodd yr hen wraig o'i chwmpas mewn rhyfeddod. Roedd y waliau gwydr wedi mynd. Roedd ganddi bopeth yr oedd hi wedi dymuno amdano nawr. Gwenodd yr angel ac aeth ymlaen ar ei ffordd.

Rhyw amser yn ddiweddarach, hedfanodd yr angel heibio i fwthyn yr hen wraig a chlywodd sŵn cyfarwydd.

"O diar, am fywyd ofnadwy yw hwn. Dim ond bwthyn bach budr, gardd fach iawn, a dim lle i roi unrhyw beth. Hoffwn pe bai gen i dŷ go iawn, gyda llawr uchaf, gardd fawr braf, ac ystafell wely sbâr i storio fy holl bethau. Yna byddwn i'n hapus!"

Clywodd yr angel eiriau'r hen wraig ac roedd yn flin nad oedd hi'n fodlon o hyd. Mewn amrantiad, trawsnewidiwyd y bwthyn yn dŷ mawr gyda dau lawr a gardd hir yn y cefn. Edrychodd yr hen wraig yn falch.

Gwenodd yr angel ac aeth ymlaen ar ei ffordd.

Yn fuan wedyn, daeth yr angel y ffordd honno eto a chlywodd lais yr oedd yn ei adnabod.

"O diar, am fywyd ofnadwy yw hwn! Tŷ enfawr a dim ond fi i ofalu amdano. Yr holl risiau hynny i'w dringo, yr holl ystafelloedd hynny i'w glanhau. Gardd fawr i ofalu amdani a neb i'm helpu. Hoffwn pe gallwn fyw mewn palas, gyda gweision i ofalu amdanaf, dillad hyfryd i'w gwisgo, ac ymwelwyr i gadw cwmni i mi. Mor hapus fyddwn i wedyn!"

Ochneidiodd yr angel pan glywodd eiriau'r wraig. Mewn fflach, disodlwyd y tŷ gan balas mawreddog gyda chanhwyllbrennau crisial a gweision ym mhob ystafell. Roedd gerddi godidog yn llawn blodau, yn cael eu gofalu amdanynt gan arddwyr medrus. Roedd cypyrddau'n gorlifo â ffrogiau hardd, ac roedd llawer o ystafelloedd gwely gwahanol i ddewis ohonynt. Roedd y ceginau'n darparu unrhyw fwyd yr oedd hi'n ei ddymuno. Roedd pawb a welodd y palas yn hiraethu i gwrdd â'r person ffodus a oedd yn byw yno. Plygodd yr hen wraig mewn rhyfeddod. Gwenodd yr angel ac aeth ymlaen ar ei ffordd.

Rhyw amser yn ddiweddarach, pasiodd yr angel heibio i'r palas a chlywodd...

"O diar, am fywyd ofnadwy yw hwn. Cymaint o bobl i siarad â nhw, cymaint o weision i'w cyfarwyddo. Pellteroedd mor hir i gerdded, cymaint o ystafelloedd a choridorau. Gormod o fwyd—mae'n gwneud i mi deimlo'n chwyddedig. Gormod o flodau—dw i ddim yn gwybod beth i'w wneud â nhw. Gormod o ddrysau i'w hagor a'u cau. Am fywyd...!"

Cyn iddi allu dweud gair arall, digwyddodd peth anhygoel. Mewn fflach o olau, canfu'r hen wraig ei hun yn ôl yn y botel finegr.

A hyd y gwyddom, mae hi'n dal yno heddiw.

BLWYDDYN 2 I 6

Etholiadau Cyngor Ysgol

Mae’n bleser gennym gyhoeddi y bydd ein hetholiadau cynghorau ysgol blynyddol yn cael eu cynnal ar ddydd Mawrth, yr 16eg o Fedi. Bydd cyfle i’r disgyblion enwebu eu hunain ar gyfer un o’r paneli llais disgybl pwysig canlynol: y Cyngor Ysgol, Pwyllgor Eco, Dewiniaid Digidol, Cyngor Lles, Arweinwyr Athroniaeth a’r Criw Cymreig. Bydd gan bob dosbarth le i ddau gynrychiolydd ym mhob un o'r grwpiau hyn.

Mae’r cynghorau hyn yn chwarae rhan hanfodol wrth lunio bywyd ysgol drwy ganiatáu i ddisgyblion leisio’u barn a chymryd rhan mewn prosesau gwneud penderfyniadau. Maent yn darparu llwyfan i blant gyfrannu at wella eu hamgylchedd dysgu, yn gwneud awgrymiadau ar gyfer gweithgareddau ysgol, ac yn cymryd cyfrifoldeb am feysydd fel yr amgylchedd, technoleg, lles, a hyrwyddo’r Gymraeg.

Mae bod yn rhan o’r cynghorau hyn yn gyfle gwych i ddisgyblion ddatblygu medrau arwain, gweithio fel tîm, a gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol yng nghymuned yr ysgol. Rydym yn annog pob disgybl sydd â diddordeb mewn cymryd rhan i ystyried sefyll etholiad. Bydd gwybodaeth am sut i wneud cais yn cael ei rhannu yn y dosbarth.

Mae plant yn cael eu hannog i gynnig pam eu bod am gael eu hethol ar bob panel gan esbonio pam eu bod yn angerddol am yr hyn y byddent yn ei wneud pe baent yn cael eu hethol. I helpu ein disgyblion gyda hyn, fel mewn blynyddoedd blaenorol, rydym yn darparu templed i blant ei lenwi. Mae pob plentyn wedi cael un heddiw i drafod gyda chi gartref ac i'w gwblhau. Dylid eu cyflwyno i'r athro dosbarth erbyn dydd Llun, 15eg o Fedi.

BLWYDDYN 6

Ethol Prif Fechgyn a Phrif Ferched

Fel ysgol, mae gennym ni ddau o bob un bob blwyddyn. Mae’r rolau hyn yn hynod bwysig i gymuned ein hysgol, gan eu bod yn cynrychioli’r corff disgyblion ac yn gweithredu fel modelau rôl i bob disgybl. Mae Prif Fechgyn a Phrif Ferched yn gweithio’n agos gyda staff, yn helpu i arwain digwyddiadau ysgol, ac yn cymryd cyfrifoldebau allweddol fel cefnogi mentrau ysgol, mentora disgyblion iau, a hyrwyddo amgylchedd ysgol cadarnhaol a chynhwysol.

Mae’r Prif Fechgyn a’r Prif Ferched hefyd yn chwarae rhan arwyddocaol wrth gynrychioli ein hysgol mewn digwyddiadau allanol, gweithredu fel llysgenhadon, a chyfrannu at welliant parhaus ein hysgol trwy arweinyddiaeth a chydweithio. Mae'r swyddi hyn yn cynnig cyfle i ddatblygu sgiliau arwain cryf, galluoedd cyfathrebu, a hyder, sydd i gyd yn werthfawr ar gyfer eu twf personol a'u hymdrechion yn y dyfodol.

Rydym yn annog unrhyw ddisgyblion Blwyddyn 6 sy’n frwd dros wneud gwahaniaeth cadarnhaol yn ein hysgol i ystyried sefyll am y rolau pwysig hyn.

Dylai plant lenwi ein ffurflen gais. Dylid eu cyflwyno i'r athro dosbarth erbyn dydd Llun, 15eg o Fedi.

Pob lwc i bawb sydd â diddordeb mewn dod yn Brif Fachgen neu Brif Ferch nesaf i ni!

The Old Woman in the Vinegar Bottle: A Story about Happiness

Once there was an old woman who lived in a vinegar bottle. It was rather a small bottle, and the old woman spent much of her time polishing the glass walls. This made her very grumpy.

"Oh dear," she would say, "what a terrible life I lead, living in this bottle, where everyone can see me. I wish I could live in a cottage with a little garden and lace curtains at the window. I’d be happy then!"

One day, as she was saying these things to herself, an angel flew by and heard the old woman's words. The angel felt sorry for her, and in a flash, the vinegar bottle was turned into a little cottage, with lace curtains at the window and a pretty garden. The old lady looked around her in wonder. Gone were the glass walls. She now had everything she had wished for. The angel smiled and went on its way.

Some time later, the angel flew past the old woman's cottage and heard a familiar sound.

"Oh dear, what a terrible life this is. Just a poky little cottage, a tiny garden, and no room to put anything. I wish I had a proper house, with an upstairs, a nice big garden, and a spare bedroom to store all my things. Then I’d be happy!"

The angel heard the old woman's words and was sorry that she was still not content. In a flash, the cottage was transformed into a large house with two floors and a long garden at the back. The old lady looked pleased.

The angel smiled and went on its way.

Not long afterwards, the angel came that way again and heard a voice it recognised.

"Oh dear, what a terrible life this is! A huge house and only me to look after it. All those stairs to climb, all those rooms to clean. A large garden to care for and no one to help me. I wish I could live in a palace, with servants to look after me, lovely clothes to wear, and visitors to keep me company. How happy I’d be then!"

The angel sighed when it heard the woman's words. In a flash, the house was replaced by a grand palace with crystal chandeliers and servants in every room. There were splendid gardens filled with flowers, tended by skilled gardeners. Cupboards overflowed with beautiful dresses, and there were many different bedrooms to choose from. The kitchens provided any food she desired. Everyone who saw the palace longed to meet the fortunate person who lived there. The old lady blinked in wonder. The angel smiled and went on its way.

Some time later, the angel passed by the palace and heard...

"Oh dear, what a terrible life this is. So many people to talk to, so many servants to instruct. Such long distances to walk, so many rooms and corridors. Too much food—it makes me feel bloated. Too many flowers—I don’t know what to do with them. Too many doors to open and close. What a life...!"

Before she could utter another word, an amazing thing happened. In a flash of light, the old woman found herself back in the vinegar bottle.

And for all we know, she is still there today.

YEAR 2 TO 6

School Council Elections

We are pleased to announce that our annual school councils' elections will be held on Tuesday, the 16th of September. Pupils will have the chance to nominate themselves for one of the following important pupil voice panels: the School Council, Eco Committee, Digital Wizards, Wellbeing Council, Philosophy Leaders, and Welsh Crew. Each class will have spaces for two representatives in each of these groups.

These councils play a crucial role in shaping school life by allowing pupils to voice their opinions and take part in decision-making processes. They provide a platform for children to contribute to the improvement of their learning environment, make suggestions for school activities, and take responsibility for areas such as the environment, technology, wellbeing, and promoting the Welsh language.

Being part of these councils is an excellent opportunity for pupils to develop leadership skills, work as a team, and make a real difference in the school community. We encourage all pupils who are interested in getting involved to consider standing for election. Information on how to apply will be shared in class.

Children are encouraged to make a pitch for why they want to be elected on to each panel explaining why they are passionate about what they would do if they were elected. To help our pupils with this, as in previous years, we provide a template for children to fill in. Each child has been handed one today to discuss with you at home and to complete. They should be handed in to the class teacher no later than Monday, 15th of September.

YEAR 6

Election of Head Boys and Head Girls

On Tuesday, the 16th of September, as well as school council elections, we are looking to elect our new Head Boys and Head Girls for this school year. As a school, we have two of each every year. These roles are highly important to our school community, as they represent the pupil body and serve as role models for all pupils. Head Boys and Head Girls work closely with staff, help lead school events, and take on key responsibilities such as supporting school initiatives, mentoring younger pupils, and promoting a positive and inclusive school environment.

The Head Boys and Head Girls also play a significant role in representing our school at external events, acting as ambassadors, and contributing to the ongoing improvement of our school through leadership and collaboration. These positions offer an opportunity to develop strong leadership skills, communication abilities, and confidence, all of which are valuable for their personal growth and future endeavours.

We encourage any Year 6 pupils who are passionate about making a positive difference in our school to consider standing for these important roles.

Children should complete our application form. They should be handed in to the class teacher no later than Monday, 15th of September.

Good luck to all those interested in becoming our next Head Boys or Head Girls!
