NEWSLETTER
Annwyl Riant / Geidwad
Dear Parent / Guardian
Fel gallwch ddychmygu, mae’r Cylchlythyr yma
yn llawn gwybodaeth am y gweithgareddau
mae’r disgyblion wedi cymryd rhan ynddynt
dros y misoedd diwetha. Beth sy’n amlwg yw
llwyddiannau’r ysgol ar lefel lleol a chenedlaethol.
Mae’r ystod o gyfleon sydd ar gael i’r holl
ddisgyblion o’r radd flaenaf ac mae hyn yn arwydd
o ymrwymiad ac ymroddiad y Staff.
As you can appreciate, this latest Newsletter is
packed with all the activities and events that the
pupils have partaken in during the last number of
months. What is very apparent is that both at a local
level and a national level, the school continues to
be very successful. The range of opportunities on
offer for all of the pupils is first class and this is
down to the dedication and commitment of the staff.
Yn ystod gwyliau’r haf bydd adnewyddiadau’r
adrannau Mathemateg, Dyniaethau a’r Ieithoedd
Modern wedi’u cwblhau sy’n golygu bod gan y
disgyblion floc arall o gyfleusterau ardderchog.
Mae hyn hefyd yn golygu mai dim ond y bloc
Technoleg sydd ar ôl i’w gwblhau. Bydd y gwaith
yn dechrau ar hwn ym mis Hydref. O fis Medi bydd
y gwersi Celf a Technoleg yn adeiladau dros dro
yn y ‘Pentref’.
During the summer holidays the refurbishment of
the Maths, Humanities and Modern Languages
block will be completed, meaning that the pupils
have yet another block of excellent facilities.
This also means that we have only one block to
complete, namely Technology, which will begin
in October. From September/October the Art
and Technology lessons will be in the ‘Pentref’
temporary buildings.
Rydym yn mawr obeithio erbyn Rhagfyr 2014
bydd y bloc Technoleg wedi’i gwblhau ac erbyn
Ebrill 2015, bydd TRJ wedi cwblhau’r holl waith
adeiladu ac yn barod i adael y seit.
Mae’r tymor newydd i ddisgyblion 7, 10 a 12
yn dechrau ar ddydd Mawrth y 3ydd o Fedi a
blynyddoedd 8, 9, 11 a 13 yn dechrau ar ddydd
Mercher y 4ydd o Fedi.
Diolch i chi gyd am eich cefnogaeth yn ystod y
flwyddyn ac rwy’n gobeithio y bydd y disgyblion i
gyd yn mwynhau gwyliau diogel ac ymlaciol.
Yn ddiffuant
D. Stephen Perks
Pennaeth
Hopefully, by the end of December 2014 the
Technology block will be completed and by April
2015, TRJ will have completed the building works
and will be ready to depart the site.
The new term begins for pupils in Years 7, 10 and
12 on Tuesday 3rd of September with Years 8, 9, 11
and 13 beginning on Wednesday 4th of September.
Thank you for your support during the year and I
hope that all the pupils will enjoy a safe, relaxing
holiday.
Yours sincerely

brwsh dros Gastell Hogwarts.
On Monday 4th March, a group of Ysgol Dyffryn
Aman pupils set out to visit the ‘Warner Bros.
Harry Potter Studio Tour’ in Leavesdon Studios.
These pupils, aged from 12-14 years old, were
specially selected to take part in a writing
workshop provided by ‘Leavesdon Studio’ staff.
Pupils undertook the tour of the original movie
sets, animatronic characters and costumes.
Certain pupils chose to perfect their wand skills,
whilst others rode the famous ‘Knightbus’ or
their own broomstick over Hogwarts Castle.
Hefyd, treuliodd disgyblion peth amser mewn
gweithdy addysgol. Roedd y gweithdy wedi
ei gynllunio i ddatblygu eu sgiliau ysgrifenedig
ac annog eu hoffter o lenyddiaeth. Cafodd y
disgyblion lawer allan o’r dydd a rhoddodd staff
Harry Potter gwobr arbennig i’r tîm buddugol.
Pupils also spent the day meeting extras and
production staff from the ‘Harry Potter’ film
franchise in an educational workshop. The
workshop was designed to develop their written
skills and encourage their love of literature. The
pupils had a fulfilling day that culminated in the
Harry Potter staff awarding a special prize to
the winning team for a persuasive film pitch.

Urdd Eisteddfod
Cafwyd amser arbennig ym mis
Mawrth eleni yn eisteddfod Sir yr
urdd ym Mhontyberem. Roedd
hi’n bleser i weld dros 90 o
ddisgyblion Ysgol Dyffryn Aman ar
y llwyfan yn cynrychioli’r ysgol ar
ei gorau mewn 19 cystadleuaeth.
Mae hyn yn ganlyniad i waith ac
ymroddiad caled y disgyblion
a’r athrawon dros yr wythnosau.
Dyma’r canlyniadau:
An excellent time was had by all
in March this year at the county
Eisteddfod at Pontyberem. It
was a pleasure to see over 90
pupils from Ysgol Dyffryn Aman
on stage representing the school
in 19 competitions.
Cerddoriaeth: Cafwyd llwyddiant
mawr gan yr adran gerddoriaeth
yn y gystadleuaeth gyntaf sef
y band pres gan ennill mewn steil. Enillodd
Mai Rees o flwyddyn 7 yr unawd pres i
flynyddoedd 7-9 a Catrin Soons o flwyddyn 10
y gystadleuaeth yn yr unawd chwythbrennau
i fynyddoedd 10 ac o dan 19 oed a Sophie
Davies yn yr unawd pres. Cafwyd llwyddiant
hefyd yn y canu! Enillodd Georgia Mills yr
Alaw Werin a’r gystadleuaeth canu unawd!
Llongyfarchiadau.
Llefaru: Cafodd yr adran Gymraeg lwyddiant
hefyd - Enillodd y grwpiau llefaru brwdfrydig
ail iaith iau ac hwn. Daeth grup llefaru iau iaith
gyntaf yn drydydd ar ôl perfformiad arbennig,
ac er i’r parti llefaru hwn iaith gyntaf ddod yn
ail, rhoddwyd gwahoddiad iddynt gystadlu yn
y Genedlaethol. Roedd yna ddau seren hefyd
yn adrodd yn unigol - Callum Bruce-Phillips
o flwyddyn 10 ac Alex Speed o flwyddyn 8 ac
aeth y ddau ymlaen i gystadlu yn Sir Benfro.
Hoffwn ddweud llongyfarchiadau hefyd i Sian
James o flwyddyn 8 a gyrhaeddodd y sir a
chael trydydd agos iawn am y tro cyntaf. Bu Tîm
Siarad cyhoeddus y chweched hefyd yn dadlau
yn frwd yn y gystadleuaeth Siarad Cyhoeddus
Tîm
Ysgolion.
Drama:
Roedd yr Ymgom hwn wedi rhoi
perfformiad gwefreiddiol ar y noson ac yn llawn
haeddu eu lle yn y Genedlaethol. Da iawn i
Aled Evans a Mared Hedd am eu perfformiad.
Music: Great success was had
by the Music department with
the Brass Band winning the first
competition in style. Mai Rees in
Year 7 won her competition and
Catrin Soons and Sophie Davies
also went on to represent the
school. Great success was also
had in the singing competitions with Georgia
Mills winning the ‘Alaw Werin’ (the individual
folk song) and also the solo competition too!
Congratulations to her.
Reciting: The Welsh department also
did fantastically well - both the second
language reciting groups were successful
and represented the school in the National
Eisteddfod in May. The first language reciting
group came third after a great performance and
tough competition, with the older group coming
second in their competition, but they also had
an invitation to compete in Pembrokeshire
during half term. Callum Brice-Phillips (year
10) and Alex Speed (year 8) both competed in
the solo competition and both represented the
school in the next round – well done boys! Also,
the sixth form public speaking team showed a
keen debate in the Speaking Competition for
Secondary school age.
Drama: The Monologue gave an inspiring
performance on the night and fully deserved
their place in the National Eisteddfod. Well
done to Aled Evans and to Mared Hedd for
their winning performance.

Spelling Bee
Once again this year, Year 7 pupils were given
the opportunity to compete in the National
Spelling Bee competition. Stage 1 was a
class contest, where pupils competed against
their classmates. We’re very impressed by
everyone’s willingness to take part and the
effort displayed in learning how to spell 50
German/ French words in the target language.
These were our class winners who proceeded
on to Stage 2:
German
Roisin Evans, Charlotte Laurie,
Rhiannon Thomas, Chloe Wilcott-Williams,
Kian Evans, Olivia Kenlock,
Eli Onyeiu, Matthew Wigglesworth.
French
David Brice, Tae-Young Moon,
Megan Reed, Tesni Stevens,
Aleetza Molloy, Nicholas Morris,
Katie Nicklin, Ffion Wiltshire,
Adam Rosser, Luke Jones.
Stage 2 was held in school one lunch-time, to
find our school winners. It was clear that our
pupils had spent a lot of time learning how to
spell an additional 100 words and were keen
to do well. After a closely fought round, our
school winners were:
French
Adam Rosser 7W
Luke Jones 7W
Tae-Young Moon 7C
Megan Reed 7G
German
Charlotte Laurie 7M
Rhiannon Thomas 7M
Olivia Kenlock 7B
Eli Onyeiu 7B
These 8 pupils then went on to represent the
school at Ysgol Bryngwyn on 23 April for Stage
3. All eight competitors did themselves and
Ysgol Dyffryn Aman very proud indeed as they
performed to the very highest standard. Yet
another 50 words had to be learnt making 150
words in total. Unfortunately, Stage 4 was just
outside our grasp, but all pupils worked hard to
reach that standard and should be very proud
of their achievements. Well done everyone!

Team Burn
Enillodd tîm o ddisgyblion Blwyddyn 9 o Ysgol
Dyffryn Aman lle ar y podiwm yn y Rownd
Derfynol Genedlaethol Fformiwla 1i Ysgolion
yn Llundain. Bu’r tîm yn cystadlu yn erbyn
y timau gorau o’r DU. Gwnaeth disgyblion
Dyffryn Aman yn arbennig o dda trwy gydol
y gystadleuaeth, gan sicrhau 3ydd safle ar
ddiwedd y dydd.
Enillodd bechgyn Tîm Burn, y car cyflymaf
ac roeddent yn enillwyr cyffredinol yn y
Rowndiau Rhanbarthol Terfynol a gynhaliwyd
yn Amgueddfa Genedlaethol y Glannau yn
Abertawe ym mis Chwefror, felly yn hyderus eu
byddant yn treulio 2 wythnos yn ailgynllunio
eu car, arddangos pwll a nwyddau a pharatoi
ar gyfer y Rowndiau Terfynol Cenedlaethol. Ar
ôl cyrraedd y rownd derfynol llynedd ond heb
ennill unrhyw beth, maent yn benderfynol o
ddod adref gyda rhai tlysau.
A team of Year 9 pupils from Ysgol Dyffryn
Aman won a podium place at the Formula 1 in
Schools National Final in London. Competing
against the best teams from the UK the Dyffryn
Aman pupils did extremely well throughout the
competition, securing 3rd place overall.
The boys who go by the name of Team Burn,
won the fastest car and were overall winners
at the Regional Finals held at the Waterfront
Museum in Swansea in February; so with
confidence they spent 2 weeks redesigning
their car, pit display and merchandise in
preparation for the National Finals. After
making it through to the finals last year but
not winning anything, they were determined
to come home with some trophies this time.
Yn ogystal â dod yn 3ydd, enillwyd Arddangos
fa Pwll Gorau ac ar y diwrnod roeddent yn
4yddyn y car cyflymaf. Roedd y gystadleuaeth
y car cyflymaf o safon uchel yn torri Record y
Byd. Roedd Dion, Dewi, Alex, Jamie, a Sean
wedi cael diwrnod blinedig o gyfweliadau a
chyflwyniadau lle roedd yn rhaid iddynt esbonio
i’r beirniaid peirianneg pam a sut yr oeddent
wedi gwneud eu dylunio, a bu’n rhaid iddynt
gyflwyno eu graffeg, arddangos pwll a nwyddau
i’r beirniaid marchnata. Cafwyd cyflwyniad o 10
munud lle roedd yn rhaid iddynt gyfleu’r hyn
y mae’r prosiect wedi ei olygu iddyn nhw yn
unigol ac fel tîm, ac wrth gwrs y rasio go iawn.
Hoffai’r tîm ddiolch i’r canlynol am eu nawdd a
chymorth - Ysgol Dyffryn Aman, TRJ, Boosh,
Tuckers Fresh Fish, A Bildar Ltd, N.D. John
Masnachwr Gwin, Clwb Hamdden Meinciau,
mini-media a Manhattan Marketing oedd yn
golygu fel timau Fformiwla 1go iawn, roeddent
wedi paratoi’n dda a’r car wedi’ibeiriannu’n dda
acyn broffesiynol.
As well as coming 3rd overall, they also won
Best Pit Display and on the day had the 4th
fastest car; such was the competition the
fastest car actually smashed the World Record.
The competition involved Dion, Dewi, Alex,
Jamie, and Sean having a gruelling day of
interviews and presentations where they had to
explain to the engineering judges why and how
they had made their particular car design; they
had to present their graphics, pit display and
merchandise to the marketing judges. There
was a 10 minute presentation where they had
to convey what the project had meant to them
individually and as a team, and of course the
actual racing.
The team would like to thank the following
for their sponsorship and support – Ysgol
Dyffryn Aman, TRJ, Boosh, Tuckers Fresh
Fish, A Bildar Ltd, N.D. John Wine Merchants,
Meinciau Recreation Club, mini-media and

Teithiodd y grup gyda myfyrwyr, gwleidyddion,
y cyfryngau ac eraill i Krakow ac yna ymlaen
i Auschwitz-Birkenau. Roedd hyn yn wir yn
ddiwrnod i’w gofio. Ar ôl dychwelyd mae gan

Prior to the visit to Poland, Eleri Bowen and
Ffion Elin Thomas accompanied Mrs Christine
Rees to a seminar in Cardiff where they were
prepared for the day visit to Poland. They
heard the testimony of a Holocaust survivor
and discussed their expectations for the visit.
The group accompanied students, politicians,
the media and others on the chartered flight to
Krakow and then on to Auschwitz – Birkenau.
This truly was a day to remember. On their
return the students now have a very important
role as ambassadors for the Holocaust
Memorial Trust. They have already delivered
a presentation to the congregation of Saron
Baptist Chapel.
2. Pastor Jonathan Thomas has been
discussing a Christian lifestyle with Year 11

The Yrs9/10 team played in a round robin
tournament in which they won all their games
but for one, which they drew. They were equal
on points with Eifionydd, but unfortunately
scored two goals less and so lost on goal
difference.
The Yrs7/8 boys team played some good

3rd in their group.
The Yr 10 boys team played very well on

losing to the eventual winners,
Cafodd tîm Blwyddyn 11

Roedd y rownd derfynol yn erbyn tîm cryf gan

Profodd y tîm hwn ddiwedd llwyddiannus i’r
tymor. Ar ôl gorffen yng nghanol y tabl yn y
Cynghrair Sadwrn Ysgolion Cymru, newidodd
y ffocws i rygbi 7-bob-ochr. Yn y gystadleuaeth
7 Bob Ochr Coleg Llanymddyfri, collodd y tîm
yn y rownd derfynol. Wrth symud ymlaen i’r
gystadleuaeth yr URDD curodd y tîm Glantaf,

16 olaf. Yna, teithiodd y tîm i Lundain ar

In previous years the Girs Rugby 7s have
come close to winning the championship, but
this year they went a step further by defeating,
Rhymney Valley, Bryntawe, Church Village and
Queen Elizabeth High School before winning
the Carmarthenshire College final. This has
proved Amman Valley school team is the best
team in Wales.

cyn maeddu Coleg Castell Nedd yn y rownd
gyn-derfynol o 31 – 5.
Yn y gêm derfynol, er gwaetha ymdrechion
dewr y merched, profodd y gêm yn erbyn Coleg
Hartpury i fod yn un cam rhy bell.
Rhaid canmol y merched i gyd, pob un ohonynt
am eu cymhelliant ac ymroddiad i ymarferion
ar ôl ysgol ar nos Wener. Hefyd, am eu
ymdrechion ym mhob cystadleuaeth eleni.
In the final game, despite the brave efforts
of the women, the game against Hartpury
College proved to be one step too far.
To the credit of all the girls, we have to thank
them for their motivation and commitment to
rehearsals after school on Friday. Also, for their
efforts in all the competitions this year.

Mae’r ysgol gyfan a’r Chweched Dosbarth
yn arbennig, yn drist o glywed newyddion
am farwolaeth trasig Elin Davies mewn
damwain car yn ystod gwyliau’r Pasg. Roedd
Elin yn fyfyrwraig hyfryd a chydwybodol a
ddychwelodd i’r Chweched Dosbarth fis Medi
diwethaf i wella ei graddau Safon Uwch. Roedd
hi wedi cael cynnig lle i astudio Fferylliaeth
ym Mhrifysgol Reading. Roedd y canlyniadau
rhagorol a gyflawnwyd yn dilyn y modiwlau
yn Ionawr yn golygu y byddai wedi ennill y
graddau angenrheidiol. Mynychodd nifer fawr
o fyfyrwyr a staff, o’r gorffennol a’r presennol,
ei hangladd. Bydd pawb yn gweld ei cholled.
Codwyd dros £500 ynystod diwrnod elusen yn
yr ysgol er cof am Elin a bydd yr arian yn mynd
tuag at gronfa yn ei henw.
The whole school and Sixth Form in particular,
was saddened with the news of the tragic
death of Elin Davies in a car accident during
the Easter holidays. Elin was a delightful and
conscientious student who returned to the
Sixth Form last September to improve her A
level grades. She had been offered a place
to study Pharmacy at Reading University and
the excellent results achieved following the
January modules meant that she would have
achieved the required grades. A large number
of students and staff, both past and present,
attended her funeral and Elin will be sadly
missed. Over £500 was raised during a charity
day in school in Elin’s memory and the money

Unedig yn y gynhadledd ac roeddent i baratoi
cyflwyniadau ar gynaliadwyedd o adnoddau
ar gyfer cenedlaethau’r dyfodol. Roedd yn
ddiwrnod llwyddiannus a chafodd y myfyrwyr
gyfle i gystadlu yn erbyn myfyrwyr lefel A o bob
rhan o Dde Cymru.
Students in year 13 recently attended the Model
United Nations Conference in Carmarthen.
They represented a variety of UN Nations at the
conference and had to prepare presentations
on the sustainability of resources for future
generations. It was a successful day and the
students had an opportunity to pit their wits
against A level students from throughout South
Wales.
Cynrychiolwyd yr ysgol gan Ffion Caines, Beth
Gilbert, Daisy Onyeuw, Meg Wood, Sioned

P.S.E.
Mae wedi bod yn dymor prysur unwaith yn
rhagor o ran gweithgareddau Addysg Bersonol
a Chymdeithasol yn yr ysgol gyda’r themau
canlynol yn cael eu hastudio yn y gwersi
bugeiliol:
Blwyddyn 7 – Gwaith cartref
Blwyddyn 8 – Hawliau a Chyfrifoldebau
Blwyddyn 9 – Y broses o ddewis opsiynnau
It’s been another busy term as regards to
Personal and Social Education within the
school, and the following themes have been
studied:
Year 7 – Homework
Year 8 – Rights and Responsibilities
Year 9 – The Options process
Yn ystod y tymor nesaf bydd disgyblion
blynyddoedd 7, 8 & 9 yn canolbwyntio ar un
thema ganolog sef ‘Gofal ar y Rhyngrwyd’.
Bydd cyflwyniadau arbennig yn cael eu rhoi yn
y gwasanaethau blwyddyn a bydd y disgyblion
yn cael y cyfle i drafod y pwnc yma gyda’i gilydd
yn y gwersi bugeiliol. Bydd y cyflwyniadau
hyn yn cynnig cyngor i’r disgyblion ar sut i
ddiogelu eu hunain ar safleoedd cymdeithasol
ac i beidio a cynnig dim gwybodaeth personol
amdanyn nhw eu hunain ar safleoedd o’r fath.
Dyma grynodeb o’r cyngor sydd wedi ei roi i’r
disgyblion am sut i sicrhau eu bod yn diogelu
eu hunain wrth ddefnyddio’r we ac yn enwedig
felly gwefannau cymdeithasol megis Facebook
a Twitter.
1. Gosodwch osodiadau eich cyfrifiadur i
preifat.
2. Peidwich byth a rhannu gwybodaeth bersonol
am eich hun ar y we e.e. enw, cyfeiriad, rhif ffôn
symudol.
Also, the school and Dyfed Powys Police
have been working collaboratively to deliver
a number of sessions to our pupils regarding
internet safety. Presentations have been
given during assemblies and pupils have also
been given the opportunity to discuss this
theme during the pastoral sessions.These
presentations have highlighted the importance
of pupils keeping themselves safe whilst using
the internet and especially so on sites such as
Facebook and Twitter. Below is a summary of
the advice given to the pupils:
1.Ensure that your security settings are on
private.
2.Never share personal information about
yourself online e.g. name, address, mobile
phone number.
3.Choose your friends wisely. It’s not a
competition of how many friends you have on
Facebook or how many people follow you on
Twitter. Delete anyone that you wouldn’t class
YSGOL DYFFRYN AMAN
ar Twitter. Dilewch unrhyw un nad ydych yn
gallu eu galw’n ffrindiau da.
4. Sicrhewch eich bod yn gofyn caniatad
cyn rhoi llun o unrhyw un arall ar y we ac ar
wefannau cymdeithasol fel Facebook neu
Twitter.
5. Ni ddylid postio unrhyw ddelweddau
amhriodol ohonoch chi eich hun. Mae’r we yn
cael ei ddefnyddio gan dros 500 miliwn o bobl
ac unwaith mae llun ar y we, mae’n anodd iawn
cael gwared ohono.
6. Peidiwch dweud eich cyfrinair wrth neb.
7. Byddwch yn ofalus am y math o iaith ‘rydych
yn ei ddefnyddio a pha fath o sylwadau ‘rydych
yn eu ysgrifennu am bobl eraill. Ni ddylid
ysgrifennu sylwadau negyddol am bobl eraill.
8. Peidiwch a chyfeirio at yr ysgol nac unrhyw
aelod o staff pan yn ysgrifennu ar Facebook
neu’n trydar Twitter.
9. Sicrhewch eich bod yn riportio unrhyw sylw
/ llun sydd yn achosi niwed i chi’n bersonol gwasgwch y botwm ‘report abuse’ ar Facebook
neu dywedwch wrth athro.
10. Cofiwch,.os na fyddech yn ei ddwued i
wyneb rhywun yna peidiwch a’i ddweud o gwbl.

4. Ensure that you ask permission before you
post a photo of anyone online and on social
networking sites such as Facebookand Twitter.
5.Don’t post inappropriate photos of yourself.
The internet is used by over 500 million people
and once a photo is online, it’s very difficult to
remove it.
6.Never share your password with anyone else.
7.Be very careful about the language that you
use and the type of comments that you write
about others. Don’t write negative comments
about other people.
8.You shouldn’t refer to the school or any
member of staff when writing comments on
Facebook or when tweeting.
9. Ensure that you report any comment/photo
that you find offensive – press the ‘report abuse’
button on Facebook or tell a teacher.
10. Remember, if you wouldn’t say it to
somebody’s face, then don’t say it at all.

40 pupils from Year 8 have been trained by
the Hywel Dda Health Board to become peer
mentors. Two training days were arranged
at the ‘Mountain Gate’ where pupils learnt a
number of facts about smoking and were also
given the opportunity to deliver important skills
in order to become successful peer mentors.
The object of this project is that pupils will now
be able to tell their friends about the negative
points about smoking and this will hopefully
deter them from starting to smoke in the future.
