Gorsafoedd y Groes / Stations of the Cross

Yn ein paratoadau am y Pasg, bu i ddisgyblion yr Adran Iau, fynychu Eglwys St Cybi i ddysgu am orsafoedd y groes. Yma mae'r disgyblion yn cerdded o amgylch yr Eglwys yn edrych ac yn dadansoddi lluniau sydd yn dangos Iesu yn mynd ar y groes hyd ei atgyfodiad. Cafwyd trafodaeth ddifir gyda Rev Jane Bailey ac bu i'r disgyblion ddysgu llawer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As part of our Easter preperations, the Junior department visited St Cybi's church to take part in Stations of the Cross. During the visit, the pupils walk around the stations, discussing the pictures that show the story of Jesus dying on the cross and his ressurrection. The pupils had a very interesting discussion with Rev Jane Bailey which resulted in the pupils learning a great deal about this important time.

Diwrnod y Llyfr / World Book Day

Eleni penderfynom y byddem yn dathlu ein Cymreictod a diwrnod y llyfr ar yr un diwrnod. Cafom wledd o weithgareddau diddorol yn ystod y diwrnod. Yn y bore bum yn ffodus i dderbyn ymweliad gan awdur lleol o'r enw Anthony Bacon yn trafod ei stori. Bu pob dosbarth wedyn yn gweithio ar storiau enwog yma yng Nghymru megis Gelert. Rhodder y cyfle i bawb wisgo yn Gymreig am y diwrnod hefyd. Gweler yn y llun isod.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This year we decided to join our World book day activities with a celebration of Welsh traditions. The whole school  took part in many different activities during the day. In the morning we were fortunate to receive a visit from a local author named Anthony Bacon, who talked to us about his book. During the day, all of the classes discussed familiar Welsh tales in order to further develop their understanding of Welsh culture. We were all invited to wear clothes associated with Wales. See the above picture.

 This term, we had a Welsh Feast here at Ysgol Y Parchedig Thomas Ellis. Over one hundred people attended this fabulous concert that was arranged by the School's Welsh Ambassador, Ms Myfanwy Jones. The audience enjoyed sensational performances by the Holyhead Male Voice Choir, Mr Raymond Jones, Misss Gwenllian Jones, Mr Stuart Pritchard and last and by no means least the school's recital, choir and Welsh folk dancing groups. You can see pictures of the event in our albums under our photos tab along with clips from the night uploaded on the school's new You Tube channel. May we take the opportunity to thank everybody that contributed to this fantastic evening as it helped raise much needed funds for the forthcoming journey to Uganda.

Dydd Mawrth Ynyd / Shrove Tuesday

Y tymor yma bu holl ddisgyblion yr Ysgol gymryd rhan mewn amryw i weithgaredd oedd yn hybu eu dealltwriaeth o bwysigrwydd y cyfnod yma ym mywydau Cristnogion. Fel yr ydym yn gwybod, diwrnod olaf cyn Lent yw Dydd Mawrth Ynyd, ble defnyddir nwyddau fel blawd, llefrith a menyn gan i Gristnogion baratoi at y cyfnod i gofio'r aberth a waned Iesu yn yr anialwch yn ystod y cyfnod a adnabydder fel Lent. Bydd y cyfnod hyn yn dechrau y diwrnod wedyn a adnabydder fel Dydd Mercher y Lludw. Aeth yr Adran Iau i Eglwys St Cybi ar y diwrnod hynny i gymryd rhan mewn gwasanaeth eglwysig ble bu croes Ludw ei roi ar dalcen pawb. Bu blwyddyn 5 a 6 yn lwcus hefyd i dderbyn ymweliad gan y Parchedig Dr Kevin Ellis a ddaeth i goginio crempogau. Hoffwn  gymryd y cyfle i groesawu y Parchedig Dr Kevin Ellis i blwyf Caergybi yn dilyn symud yma o ardal Birmingham. Edrychwn ymlaen i fwy o ymweliadau ganddo yn y dyfodol.

 

 

 

 

 

 Dyma un o'n disgyblion yn brysur yn mesur cynhwysion i wneud crempog.
Here is one of our pupils busy measuring ingredients for our pancakes.

 

 

 On Shrove Tuesday, all of the pupils here at the school took part in many activities to celebrate this important time in the Christian calendar. As we all know, we use Shrove Tuesday as the start of the remembrance of Jesus's sacrifice in the dessert and the temptations faced. During Shrove Tuesday, Christians use up ingredients such as flour, eggs and milk in preparation for Lent. Lent will then proceed the next day, also known as Ash Wednesday. On Ash Wednesday, the junior department attended St Cybi's, in order to take part in their service and proceed to have a cross placed on their forehead in remembrance. During Shrove Tuesday, pupils from years 5 and 6 were lucky to enjoy a visit from Reverend Dr Kevin Ellis who came to cook pancakes with them. We would like to take the opportunity to welcome Reverend Dr Kevin Ellis to the Holyhead Parish following moving here from Birmingham. We look forward to many a visit in the future.
