Roedd James mor hapus fod Owen wedi astudio ei waith ar gyfer TGAU, danfonodd cyfres o i gynyrchiadau celf arbennig fel anrhegion; plât darluniadol, print a charden hyfryd. Dyma lun o Owen gyda i anrhegion! Mae Owen a Miss Thomas yn hynod o ddiolchgar gydag ymateb caredig James! Owen Douglas from 11P had a lovely surprise recently. After Miss Thomas (Head of Art & Design) sent examples of Owen s GCSE art work to one of the artists he studied for his GCSE Art & Design coursework, Owen received a few presents through the post. Owen studied Jim Bob Art -a past pupil, now full time illustrator James Ward (Jim Bob Art). He now lives in London and his quirky art work is bought all around the world. James was so pleased that Owen had studied him for his GCSE studies that he sent Owen some of the art products he produces an illustrated plate, a print and a lovely card. Here s a photo of Owen with the gifts! Both Owen and Miss Thomas were so pleased with James kind response!
Daearyddiaeth / Geography Bu r ddau ddosbarth Daearyddiaeth Blwyddyn 10 allan yn gwneud gwaith maes ar yr Afon Ddulas ym mis Mehefin. Roedd gwahanol grwpiau yn gyfrifol am fesur lled, dyfnder a graddiant y sianel, maint a siâp y cerrig ar wely r afon, a chyflymder y llif mewn pum safle gwahanol. Cwblhaodd pob grŵp eu tasgau n effeithlon. Mae r mesuriadau yn sail i ymchwiliad i r newidiadau ar hyd cwrs yr afon sydd yn rhan o r asesiad TGAU. Gwnaeth pawb yn fawr o r cyfle i weithio yn yr awyr agored - ac i wlychu! Gwerthfawrogwn barodrwydd y perchnogion tir i adael i ni gael mynediad at yr afon. Diolch arbennig i Mr a Mrs Odwyn Davies, Olmarch Fawr am y croeso a r lluniaeth, ac i Ysgol y Dderi am gael defnyddio u cyfleusterau. The two Year 10 Geography classes went out to do fieldwork on the Afon Dulas in June. Different groups were responsible for measuring the width, depth and gravity of the channel, the size and shape of the stones on the river bed, and the velocity of the flow at five different sites. Each group completed their tasks efficiently. The measurements will form the basis of an investigation into the way the river changes downstream, which is part of the GCSE assessment. Everyone made the most of the opportunity to work in the outdoors and to get wet! We appreciate the willingness of the landowners to grant us access to the river. Special thanks to Mr and Mrs Odwyn Davies, Olmarch Fawr for the welcome and the refreshments, and to Ysgol y Dderi for the use of their facilities.

Cymerodd sawl aelod o r clwb ran yn y coginio a bu r gweddill yn helpu rhedeg y gystadleuaeth ac yn ffilmio cefn llwyfan. Cynllun gan y BBC yw School Report, i helpu disgyblion meithrin eu sgiliau cyfweld, adroddi a siarad cyhoeddus. Teimlaf fod y clwb yn fy helpu i a fy ffrindiau magu hunanhyder ac ar ôl cymryd rhan yn y clwb am flwyddyn bellach, teimlaf fod gennyf fwy o barch tuag at ohebwyr proffesiynol. Penderfynom gynnal cystadleuaeth coginio gan fod ein criw technolegol am feithrin eu sgiliau ffilmio a golygu. Cynhaliwyd y rownd gyntaf ar yr 22ain o Fai, gyda deg tîm yn cymryd rhan. Ein thema oedd Picnic Prydeinig ac roedd y beirniaid yn edrych ar flas y bwyd, cyflwyniad, hylendid a chreadigrwydd. Mrs Anne Pugh, cyn athrawes technoleg yn yr ysgol oedd ein beirniad am y dydd. Hoffwn ddiolch iddi am ei gwaith caled. Ar ddiwedd y gystadleuaeth, daeth 5 tîm i r brig a mynd trwodd i r rownd derfynol, sef Hanna, Sophie, Aishvarya & Phoebe, Emily, Rika & Maddie ac yn olaf Eleri & Lucy. Cafodd yr enillwyr hanner tymor cyfan i berffeithio eu prydau bwyd ar gyfer y rownd derfynol.

Yn debyg i r rownd derfynol, cafodd y timau ddwy awr i goginio gydag egwyl opsiynol o bymtheg munud. Roedd cyfle hefyd i baratoi am hanner awr cyn y gystadleuaeth.

Junior Masterchef Bro Pedr Clybiau / Clubs Adroddiad Ysgol y BBC / BBC School Report On Friday the 5th of June, Ysgol Bro Pedr s School Report club held a Junior Masterchef cooking competition in the School. A number of pupils take part in our BBC School Report, and many of them also took part in the competition. School report has been set up by the BBC, to help children develop their interviewing, public speaking, and reporting skills. I feel that it also helps my peers and I to develop our self-confidence and after taking part in this for nearly a year I feel that we all have a greater respect for professional reporters. We decided to hold a cooking competition this time as our technology team wanted to practice their filming and editing skills. Our first round was held on Friday May 22nd and ten teams took part. We were given the theme A British Picnic and were judged on taste, presentation, hygiene and creativity. The judge for this round was Mrs. Anne Pugh, a former food technology teacher in the school. We wish to thank her for helping us. Five teams made it to the next round; Hanna, Sophie, Aishvarya & Phoebe, Emily, Rika & Maddie and finally Eleri & Lucy. The winners were given the entire half term week to perfect their dishes before the final. For the final round we were given a fairly lucrative theme of Traditional which was interpreted in many different ways. One group decided on The Best of British, another chose Italian. Welsh was also an option. One person decided on making a traditional family meal and another chose Traditional Bonfire food. Similarly to the semi-finals, in the last round, we each had a total of two hours to cook with an optional 15 minute break. We were also given 30 minutes of preparation time before the competition.
There were many appetizing dishes prepared during the competition, including a traditional Scottish fish dish and mulled apple juice. Time was tight but we managed to complete our tasks. Everyone managed to serve their dishes on time and according to the judges they were all of very high standard. I think it s safe to say they were impressed. Our judges for the final round were Mr Simon Wright, the owner of Wrights Food Emporium in Llanarthne and restaurant critic. Mrs Lisa Fern, an S4C chef and the owner of The Pumpkin Patch Cooking School in Carmarthen and Mrs Nerys Howell, an S4C chef and the owner of Howell Food Consultancy in Cardiff. Clybiau / Clubs Adroddiad Ysgol y BBC / BBC School Report We, as members of the School Report Club are also very thankful to Mr Davies for his hard work organizing such an amazing competition. Not only did he manage to get two prizes from the judges of MasterChef, which consisted of a signed apron and recipe book, but he also managed to get cooking equipment for the second and third prize winners from Lakeland. At the end of the competition, Hanna was awarded first prize for her amazing take on a traditional British Bonfire Night, Lucy and I were awarded second place and Sophie was third. The runners up were given a signed copy of Mr Simon Wright s book and fourth place were awarded a trip to Mrs Lisa Fern s Cooking School, 'The Pumpkin Patch' in Carmarthen. This was an amazing experience and I would like to thank everyone involved in making this an unforgettable day. Everyone worked very hard throughout the day and I would also like to thank the other school report group members for filming and taking pictures, the judges for their tireless work and to Richard for being our cameraman. I hope we can make this a tradition by holding another competition next year! Eleri, year 9
