"Helo! Eleanor ydw i a rydw i’n un deg saith oed. Rydw i’n
byw ym Mro Morgannwg, ond mae teulu a fi yn dod o Loegr. Rydw i'n mwynhau
sglefrio iâ a ddarllen yn fy amser hamdden. Eleni, rydw i’n astudio pump U/G ar
hyn o bryd; mathemateg, hanes, daeryddiaeth, Ffrangeg a mathemateg pellach.
Mae diddordeb gyda fi mewn hanes, ond hoffwn i barhau i astudio tipyn bach o Gymraeg hefyd, achos rydw i wrth fy modd gyda ieithoedd!"

Cofio Senghenydd 1913
Ar 14 Hydref, 1913 lladdwyd 439 o lowyr mewn ffrwydrad yn Senghennydd - y trychineb glofaol gwaethaf yn hanes Prydain. Mae disgyblion Y Bontfaen wedi dysgu am hanes y digwyddiad trist a maen nhw wedi gwylio'r rhaglen Cofio Senghenydd ar S4C. Isod, maen nhw wedi ysgrifennu am y raglen a hanes y trychineb.
On 14 October 1913, 439 miners were killed in an explosion in Senghenydd - the worst mining diasater in British history. Cowbridge pupils have learnt about the history of this sad event and they have watched the programme Cofio Senghenydd (Remembering Senghenydd) on S4C. Below, they have written about the programme and the history of the disaster.

Beth wyt ti'n feddwl o Clwb Cymraeg?
The Welsh Department and the Urdd need your help. Do you have any ideas or suggestions on how you would like the Clwb Cymraeg to run from September?
Sion from the Urdd has been working with us over the past two weeks to show examples of what we could be doing in a KS3 Clwb Cymraeg. We have run Coginio Cymraeg and Sgiliau Syrcas. What other activities would you like to do in Clwb Cymraeg? When would you like it to run?
Leave a comment below to let us know what you think.
Diolch yn fawr!

Treasoning!
Year 8 have been experimenting with giving 'BETTER REASONS' for opinions. Giving reasons for opinions is really important, and as your reasons get better - so do your levels! Look:
In this particular task, Year 8 had to give reasons to support (roots) or oppose (wind) the statement: "Mae'r Bontfaen yn anhygoel". The better their positive reason - the longer the root and the better the negative reason - the stronger the wind. Decide for yourself - will these trees stay standing because of their strong positive roots or fall down due to the strong negative winds?
Level 5 Speaking:
“give reasons to explain your ideas”
Level 6 Speaking: “providing reasons to support your views”
Level 7 Speaking: "express opinions using evidence at times"
Level 6 Speaking: “providing reasons to support your views”
