Here we are, the end of a very successful year at Ysgol Gymraeg y Ffin! I would like to thank our wonderful children for their hard work and effort this year, they’ve done themselves proud. I would also like to thank my staff for their hard graft and commitment to the profession and our pupils, I’m really grateful to have such excellent staff -  well done, team! Also, thank you parents for your support during a year of many changes at school, it truly is appreciated!A special good luck message to Miss Lowri Williams, a fantastic teacher, who is moving to a school in Cardiff to be closer to home to spend time with her son, Macsen. Her presence will definitely be missed at Ysgol y Ffin. I would like to wish our year 6 pupils the very best with their transition to Gwent Is Coed and Gwynllyw. They’ve been a great class who will be sorely missed by staff and pupils at Ysgol y Ffin. I have full faith they will continue to make good progress at secondary school.I am looking forward to another successful year beginning in September. I wish you a very happy and healthy summer holiday.

Ar ddydd Gwener 14 Gorffennaf aeth dosbarthiadau Meithrin a Derbyn am daith hyfryd lawr at lan y môr. Dyma beth oedd gan Amelia i'w ddweud am y diwrnod: “Roedd e'n GRET! Rydym wedi chwarae gyda bwced a rhaw, cawsom bicnic ar y tywod, ac roeddem yn cael mynd i mewn i'r tonnau’n droednoeth! Ac mae'r athrawon wedi prynu hufen iâ I BAWB!!! Roedd yn wirioneddol, wirioneddol wych”.On Friday 14th of July Meithrin and Reception classes had a lovely trip to the sea side. Here is what Amelia had to say about the day: “It was GREAT! We played with bucket and spades, we had a picnic on the sand, and we were even allowed to go into the waves; barefoot!  AND, the teachers bought us ALL ice cream. It was really, really great”.

AR GOLL AR Y TRAETHAr brynhawn poeth o haf ar y traeth mae Lili a'i mam yn mynd am hufen ia, gan adael Tedi ar ei ben ei hun. Mae ci bach yn ei lusgo at ymyl y môr ond cyn i'r tonnau ei ysgubo i ffwrdd mae gwylan yn ei godi- WIII - i'r awyr. Cyn y gall Tedi ddychwelyd at Lili, mae'n rhaid iddo wneud a hedfan parasiwt, a dysgu sut i syrffio!

On a hot summer afternoon, on the beach, Lili and her mum go to get ice cream , and leave Tedi all on his own. A small dog comes and drags tedi to the waterfront, but then , a huge wave brakes and scares the tedi away and his blanket levitates. WHEEE!!! Before tedi returns to Lili he must learn to fly a parachute and surf. This is Tedis fourth adventure. Enjoy 4 stories for all four seasons! AR GOLL AR Y TRAETH (Summer) / ADRE CYN NOS (Autumn) / AR GOLL YN Y COED (Spring) / AR GOLL YN YR EIRA (Winter/Christmas). Gan/By Rhys a Tom DC
