important names such as Levison Wood, famous

adventurer and author and Steve Winter, wildlife

photographer on the judging panel, they finally

announced that Alice had won the Author of

Tomorrow Award for her story ‘The Cherokee

Rose’.

Well done Alice—fantastic work!

Codi Arian / Raising Money

During our PSE sessions before Christmas, year 7 pupils had been learning about Canolfan y Bont and Year 8 and 11 pupils made daffodils out of

fabric to sell.

They have been busy selling these badges over

the past months and have managed to raise an

amazing £530 towards Canolfan y Bont.

A big thank you to everyone who helped make

and who bought a badge.

Yn ystod ein sesiynau ABCh cyn y Nadolig, bu

disgyblion o flwyddyn 7 yn dysgu am Ganolfan y

Bont tra bu disgyblion o flwyddyn 8 ac 11 yn

creu bathodynnau daffodil. Yna bu'r disgyblion

yn brysur iawn yn gwerthu'r bathodynnau yma

dros y misoedd diwethaf ac maent wedi llwyddo

codi £530 tuag at Ganolfan y Bont. Diolch yn

fawr iawn i bawb a fu’n helpu i wneud neu a

brynodd fathodyn.

Yn ystod yr wythnos 11/4/16 i’r 15/4/16 teithiodd disgyblion o ysgolion y Ffindir, Cyprus a Denmarc i Gymru fach i ymuno â ni, Ysgol Bro Pedr ac Ysgol Bro Myrddin fel rhan o’r prosiect Erasmus+ oedd yn cynnwys wythnos gyfan o weithgareddau.

Ar ddydd Mawrth yr 12fed o Ebrill, cynhaliwyd taith i’r Gerddi Botaneg i baratoi cyflwyniad grŵp yn ogystal â chreu Cod Eco rhyngwladol. Cafodd bawb eu rhannu mewn i ddau grŵp, un yn cael taith o amgylch y Gerddi a chywain gwybodaeth, a’r grŵp arall yn cael amser i baratoi’r cyflwyniadau. Gwnaeth y disgyblion ddarganfod llwyth o wybodaeth o amgylch y Gerddi a chafodd yr ymwelwyr eu rhyfeddu gan brydferthwch natur Cymru.

Ar ddydd Mercher y 13eg o Ebrill, daeth yr ymwelwyr i Ysgol Bro Pedr i gymryd rhan yng ngwersi coginio, Dylunio a Thechnoleg a sgiliau rygbi. Bu’r ymwelwyr yn brysur iawn drwy gydol y dydd yn cael blas o fywyd Ysgol Bro Pedr. Yn ystod gwers 1, cafodd yr ymwelwyr eu tywys o amgylch yr ysgol gan ein Prif Swyddogion. Roedd amser egwyl yn gyfle i ddisgyblion Ysgol Bro Pedr gael sgwrs gyda’r gwesteion oedd yn ymweld a’u tai y noson honno. Yna, yn ystod gwers 2 cafodd yr ymwelwyr eu diddori wrth greu ffresnydd aer, pice ar y maen a chreu ‘keyrings’. Ar ôl hynny, cafodd yr ymwelwyr llawer o hwyl yn dysgu sut i chwarae rygbi gyda Jack Rees a disgyblion y chweched. Efallai gwelwn llawer o’r ymwelwyr yn sêr rygbi mewn blynyddoedd i ddod. Erbyn hyn, roedd hi’n amser cinio a gwnaeth yr ymwelwyr lenwi eu boliau â bwyd blasus yr ysgol. Ar ôl cinio, cafodd yr ymwelwyr eu tywys o amgylch Llambed ac ymweld â phrif atyniadau tref Llambed.

Ar ddiwedd y dydd, roedd yn bryd i’r ymwelwyr gael eu croesawu gan ddisgyblion Bro Pedr i’w cartrefi am y noson tan 8:30y.h. Cafodd yr ymwelwyr amser arbennig yn cwrdd â theuluoedd o wahanol ddiwylliannau, dysgu am fywyd bob dydd eu partneriaid a chymryd rhan mewn amrywiaeth eang o weithgareddau megis ffermio, dawnsio a llawer mwy. Erbyn 8:30, roedd yn amser i’r ymwelwyr ddychwelyd i’r gwesty, yn barod ar gyfer y diwrnod canlynol.

Visitors from Cyprus, Denmark and Finland

During the week 11/4/16 to the 15/4/16 pupils from schools in Finland, Cyprus and Denmark travelled over to Wales to visit us, Ysgol Bro Pedr and Ysgol Bro Myrddin as part of their Erasmus+ project that included a week full of activities.

On Tuesday, April 12th, there was a trip to the Botanical Gardens to prepare a presentation for the group as well as creating an International Eco Code. To start with, everyone was split into two groups, while one group had a tour of the gardens and collected information the other group had time to prepare the presentations. The pupils found a lot of useful information around the gardens and the visitors were certainly in awe after seeing Wales’ beautiful nature.

On Wednesday, April 13th, our friends visited us here in Ysgol Bro Pedr to take part in cooking, Design and Technology and rugby skills lessons. The visitors found themselves really busy throughout the day having a feel of Ysgol Bro Pedr life. During lesson 1, they were guided around the school by our Head Prefects. Then, during break, Ysgol Bro Pedr pupils had a chance to talk to the pupils that would be visiting their houses that evening. During lesson 2, the visitors were able to create some wonderful air fresheners, tasty ’Welsh Cakes’ and some Key rings down in DT. After that, they were shown how to play rugby by Jack Rees and some of the sixth form pupils. Maybe some of our visitors will be famous rugby players in a few years! Before everyone knew it, it was lunch time and our visitors were treated to a feast down in the canteen. After lunch, our visitors were taken on a guided tour of Lampeter and the town’s main attractions.

At the end of the day, Bro Pedr pupils took the visitors to their homes for the evening until around 8-30pm. They all had a fantastic time meeting our families and seeing all the different cultures, learning about the food we eat every day, some even took part in various activities such as farming, dancing and a lot more. By 8:30, it was time for our visitors to return to their hotel, ready for the following day.

Ar fore ddydd Iau fe wnaeth y disgyblion o’r gwledydd tramor ymweld â fferm wynt. Yna cawsant eu haddysg am effeithiolrwydd melinau gwynt yng Nghymru. Hefyd fe wnaeth yr ymwelwyr ddysgu sut oedd melinau gwynt yn gweithio a pha ddarnau o beirianwaith oedd eisiau i fesur y trydan.

Yna ar ôl cinio, fe aeth pawb i reilffordd Cwm Gwili er mwyn cael te prynhawn. Cafodd tipyn o’r ymwelwyr a staff eu rhyfeddu gan ba mor hen oedd yr trenau yng Nghwm Gwili, a gwnaeth llawer ei ddisgrifio fel trên Harri Potter i Hogwarts! Roedd y te prynhawn yn flasus tu hwnt.

Ar ôl dod adre roedd hi’n amser i bawb fynd draw i’r swper ffarwel a disgo ym Mhrifysgol Llambed. Fe wnaeth pawb fwynhau bwyd traddodiadol Gymreig a gan fod pawb wedi blasu pice ar y maen ddydd Mercher roedd rheiny wedi diflannu mewn chwinciad, ac roedd nifer ohonynt am gael rysáit bara brith hefyd.

Ddydd Gwener y 15fed oedd uchafbwynt y prosiect yng Nghymru. Cafodd tri disgybl o Ysgol Bro Pedr a fu yn Cyprus sef Beca Jenkins, Elan Jones a Lucy Hill eu cyfweld ar gyfer rhaglen Prynhawn Da. Fe wnaeth pawb deithio i’r siambr yn Sir Gaerfyrddin er mwyn cyflwyno eu syniadau terfynol i bawb er mwyn pleidleisio am y syniadau gorau. Yna roedd y tri gorau yn cael eu defnyddio ar gyfer creu Cod Eco rhyngwladol i wledydd y partneriaeth i gyd. Ar ôl i bawb gyflwyno eu syniadau terfynol roedd gan bawb bleidlais. Y tri syniad a ddaeth yn fuddugol oedd #GoGreen, defnyddio mwy o gynnyrch lleol yn yr ysgol a lleihau gwastraff papur. Cafodd pawb brofiad anhygoel yn y siambr yn defnyddio y meicroffonau modern ac hefyd cael i siarad â Cadeirydd y siambr. Dosbarthwyd bathodynnau i bawb i gofio am eu profiadau yng Nghymru, ac yna derbyniodd pawb a oedd ynghlwm a’r prosiect dystysgrif. Hefyd derbyniodd ein hysgolion partner anrheg o waith Aled Dafis yn rhodd.

Hon oedd ymweliad olaf y prosiect ac fe wnaeth pawb fwynhau y prosiect yn fawr, boed wrth deithio i Ddenmarc, Cyprus, y Ffindir neu Gymru. Roedd hyn yn brofiad bythgofiadwy i bawb. Diolch yn fawr i Miss Geinor Jones, Miss Nerys Douch a Miss Hedydd Jones am gydlynu’r prosiect.

Adroddiad gan/Report by Elan Jones & Beca Jenkins, 8 Dewi

On Thursday morning, the pupils from abroad went to visit a wind farm. They were taught the effectiveness of wind turbines in Wales. They were also taught how the wind turbines worked and shown what parts of the turbines were needed to measure electricity.

After lunch, everyone visited the Cwm Gwili railroad for afternoon tea. Some of our visitors and staff were amazed at how old some of the trains in Cwm Gwili really were and many described them as the Harry Potter train carting pupils to Hogwarts! The afternoon tea was delicious.

After returning home it was time for the farewell supper and disco in the university in Lampeter. Everyone enjoyed the traditional Welsh food and as everyone had a chance to taste the Welsh Cakes on Wednesday they were the first things to go, a lot of pupils also asked for the bara brith recipe too.

On Friday 15th, we held the highlight for our project here in Wales. Three of the Ysgol Bro Pedr pupils who went to Cyprus, Beca Jenkins, Elan Jones and Lucy Hill were interviewed for the programme ‘Prynhawn Da’. Everyone travelled to the ‘Siamber’ in Carmarthenshire to present their final ideas so that everyone could vote on the best idea. Then the best three would be used to create the International Eco Code for the entire partnership countries. After everyone presented their final ideas, everyone had a vote. The three most voted for ideas were #GoGreen, using more locally sourced produce in schools and reducing paper waste. Everyone had a fantastic experience in the ‘siambr’ as they used the modern microphones and also had a chance to speak with the ‘siambr’s’ Chairperson. Everyone was given a badge as a reminder of their time here in Wales, then everyone who was involved in the project received a certificate. Our partner schools also received a gift, wooden plates made by Aled Dafis.

This was the project’s final visit and we all truly enjoyed the experience, be it travelling to Denmark, Cyprus, Finland or Wales. It was an unforgettable experience for everyone. A big thank you to Miss Geinor Jones, Miss Nerys Douch and Miss Hedydd Jones for coordinating the project.

Pleser oedd cael clywed y merched canlynol yn canu yng nghyngerdd Côr Ceredigion ar nos Fawrth, Ebrill 19eg. Roeddent yn rhan o gôr o tua 150 o bobol ifanc eraill o ysgolion Ceredigion.

Roedd y mwynhad a’r brwdfrydedd yn eu perffor-mio wir yn ysbrydoledig ac yn cynnwys cymysgedd o ganeuon o “Calon Lan” i “One Love” gan Bob Marley a chyfieithiad newydd o un o ganeuon Sam Smith.

Roedd y plant wrth eu bodd a’r gynulleidfa’n sicr wedi mwynhau!

Ceredigion Choir

It was wonderful being able to listen to the fol-lowing girls singing during the Ceredigion Choir Concert on Tuesday evening, April 19th. They were a part of a choir of 150 pupils from other Ceredigion schools.

Their enthusiasm and enjoyment was evident in their performances and it was truly inspiring. The performance included a variety of songs from “Calon Lan” to “One Love” by Bob Marley and even a new translation of one of Sam Smith’s songs.

The pupils and certainly the audience enjoyed every minute of it.

Rygbi / Rugby

Bu pump o ddisgyblion yr ysgol yn cynrychioli ‘Red Kites Touch Rugby’ yn y Pencampwriaethau Rygbi Cyffwrdd Cenedlaethol yn Abertawe yn ddiweddar.

Yn ôl y disgyblion, rhoddodd cyfle gwych iddynt ddysgu nifer fawr o reolau newydd yn ogystal â gwella eu sgiliau rygbi craidd.

Roedd yn sicr yn brofiad arbennig ac maent am ddiolch i Miriam Evans am ei gwaith fel hyfforddwraig gyda’r rhaglen.

Five pupils from the school represented ‘Red Kites Touch Rugby’ in the inaugural National Touch Championships in Swansea recently.

During the programme, our pupils had the opportunity to learn a lot of new rules as well as a chance to polish their core rugby skills.

Taith i Wlad Belg a Ffrainc / A trip to Belgium & France

Ar nos Fawrth, Mai 10fed, ymgasglon yn yr ysgol yn barod am daith i Ffrainc. Bu dros

50 o ddisgyblion o flwyddyn 9 ar y daith hanes i ymweld â rhai o safleoedd

digwyddiadau pwysicaf y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf. Ar ôl taith hir mewn bws o Lanbed a

thrwy’r Eurotunnel, cyrhaeddom yn Ffrainc. Ein lleoliad cyntaf oedd Dunkirk. Yna ar

ôl croesi’r ffin i Wlad Belg, teithiom i Ypres, lle bûm yn aros. Ymwelon ag amgueddfa

Flanders Fields yn ogystal â Menin Gate ar gyfer y seremoni coffa am 8 o’r gloch.

Yn ystod yr ail ddiwrnod, teithiom o amgylch Gwlad Belg yn ymweld â mynwentydd

coffa'r ddwy ochr, cofebion a dysgom lawer am y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf. Dysgom am

fywyd ar y ffrynt ac am y strategaethau tu ôl i’r ymladd. Cawsom gyfle hefyd i ymweld

ag amgueddfa gydag atgynhyrchiad byncer dan ddaear lawn ac atgynhyrchiad o’r

ffosydd tu allan yn y cae. Nid oedd hi’n glawio gormod wrth i ni gerdded o amgylch

diolch byth, felly nid oedd gormod o fwd dan draed.

Y diwrnod wedyn, bûm yn ymweld â lleoliad Brwydr y Somme. Gwelsom y gofeb ar gyfer

milwyr coll y Somme yn Thiepval, yn ogystal â bedd y bardd Cymraeg Hedd Wyn. Cawsom

gyfle i ymweld â’r gofeb Cymraeg yng nghoedwig Mametz, lle gosodom dorch a chanu’r

anthem genedlaethol. Ar ôl cyrraedd yn ôl yng Ngwlad Belg, bûm i fynwent Tyne Cot, y

fynwent gynghreiriol fwyaf ar safle’r rhyfel ac yna yn ôl i’r Menin Gate yn Ypres unwaith eto

ar gyfer y seremoni.

Cawsom hefyd gyfle i chwarae bowlio 10 gyda’r nos ac fe gafodd pawb tipyn o hwyl yn

gwneud hynny. Ar ddiwrnod olaf ein taith, gadawom Ypres a dechrau’r ffordd yn ôl i

Gymru, gyda chyfle i siopa am gwpwl o oriau yng nghanolfan siopa enfawr Cité Europe.

Ar ran yr holl ddisgyblion aeth ar y daith Hanes, hoffwn ddiolch i’r ysgol, i’r adran Hanes, i’r

holl athrawon aeth gyda ni i weld y ffosydd, Carl ein tywysydd a’r gyrrwr bws oedd wedi

gorfod delio gyda ni am 18 awr ar un tro! Cawsom brofiadau bythgofiadwy!

On the night of Tuesday 10th of May,

we set out on a bus for France. Over 50

pupils from Year 9 went on this trip

from the History Department to visit

the sites of some of the most

important events of the First World

War. We drove across to the

Eurotunnel, and went through France,

stopping briefly at Dunkirk. After

crossing the border into Belgium, we

went to Ypres, where we were staying.

We went to the Flanders Fields

Museum as well, and visited the Menin

Gate for the memorial ceremony there

at 8:00 pm. The next day, we drove around

Belgium, visiting cemeteries for

both sides, memorials, and

learned a lot about the First

World War, both what life was

like on the front lines and the

strategies behind the fighting.

We also visited a museum that

had a full replica underground

bunker and replica trenches out

in the fields! Thankfully, it didn’t

rain much while we were there,

so they weren’t too muddy.

Hanes / History


The day after that, we went back to France to visit the site of the Battle of the Somme. We

saw the Memorial to the Missing of the Somme in Thiepval, as well as the grave of Hedd

Wyn, the poet. We also visited the Tyne Cot cemetery, the largest Allied burial site of the

war and the Welsh memorial at Mametz Wood in France, to lay a wreath and to sing the

national anthem. When we arrived back in Ypres we attended the Menin Gate ceremony

one last time.

We also had a chance to play 10 pin bowling, which was a lot of fun for everybody; a fitting

end to what was a very interesting trip. On the last day, we left Ypres and drove back to

Wales, stopping briefly at the large Cité Europe shopping centre.

On behalf of all the pupils who went on this History trip, I would like to thank the school,

the History Department, the teachers who went with us, Carl our tour guide and our bus

driver who had to deal with us for 18 hours straight! We all enjoyed the experience.
