Spelling Bees take part in South Wales final

Year 7 pupils travelled down the M4 to Bryngwyn School in Llanelli to take part in the South Wales round of Spelling Bee.

The pupils representing the school were Christopher Lewis, Lauren Tweed, Grace Marshall and Josie Corkill in Welsh and Benjamin Batten, Lauren Light and Nia Evans in French.

For the Spelling Bee challenge pupils have 60 seconds to translate as many English words into Welsh as possible and then spell them using the Welsh alphabet - not an easy task. As well as Welsh, there was also a French, German and Spanish competition. 

The pupils performed extremely well in the first round and Christopher Lewis and Lauren Tweed beat off stiff competition to make it through to the second round.

The competition was too strong and the standard was exceptionally high and therefore, unfortunately, Cowbridge pupils didn't make one of the four spots in the national finals. However, the pupils had a great time and benefitted from the valuable experience of taking part in the competition. They did themselves and the school proud!

Congratulations to Chris, Lauren, Grance and Josie and all the pupils who took part in the earlier stages of Spelling Bee! Llongyfarchiadau!

Dathliadau Dydd Gwyl Dewi

Ar ddydd Gwener 21 Chwefror cynhaliwyd Eisteddfod yr ysgol.

Uchafbwynt y dydd oedd cystadleuaeth côr y llysoedd - roedd llys Llywelyn, Glyndŵr, Hywel Dda a Gruffydd yn brwydro am y Cwpan Canu. Y darn gosod oedd Calon Lân a codwyd y to!

Enillwyr corau Blwyddyn 8 oedd Llys Llywelyn (8.3 ac 8.4).

Roedd hi'n amhosibl dewis enillydd ar gyfer corau Blwyddyn 7 felly rhanwyd y gwpan rhwng Llys Hywel Dda (7.3 ac 7.4) a Gruffydd (7.7 ac 7.8).

DJ Huw Stephens

Aeth disgyblion blwyddyn 12 i Ganolfan y Mileniwm i wrando ar Huw Stephens, DJ ar Radio 1 a Radio Cymru, yn siarad am ei waith ac am sut mae'r iaith Gymraeg wedi ei helpu e yn ei yrfa.

Diolch yn fawr i gynllun 'Cymraeg bob dydd' yr Urdd am drefnu'r digwyddiad.

Clwb Cymraeg mis Ionawr

Mae disgyblion y Clwb Cymraeg wedi bod yn brysur ym mis Ionawr yn cymryd rhan mewn cwis enwogion Cymru, yn creu crysau rygbi origami ac yn blasu bwyd Cymreig. Mae'r Clwb Cymraeg amser cinio bob dydd Iau yn B1C.
