Abertillery Learning Community

Rydyn ni’n hynod falch o gyhoeddi ein bod wedi ennill Gwobr Efydd Siarter Iaith! 🥉🏅

Mae hwn yn gyflawniad gwych ac yn dyst i waith caled, brwdfrydedd ac ymrwymiad ein disgyblion a’n staff i hyrwyddo’r Gymraeg a diwylliant Cymru ar draws yr ysgol. 💚❤️

Diolch yn fawr i bawb sydd wedi cyfrannu at y daith hyd yma – ac i’n Criw Cymraeg anhygoel am fod yn llais mor bwysig dros y Gymraeg yn ein hysgol! 🗣️✨

Bronze achieved… and now we’re ready for the next challenge! 🚀🏅

Rydyn ni’n falch iawn o barhau i ymgorffori mwy o’r Gymraeg o gwmpas yr ysgol! 🌿🏫 O arwyddion a harddwch i’r iaith sy’n cael ei defnyddio bob dydd – cam wrth gam, rydyn ni’n creu amgylchedd lle mae’r Gymraeg yn weladwy, yn glywadwy ac yn rhan annatod o fywyd yr ysgol. 💚❤️

We’re delighted to be continuing to incorporate more Welsh around the school! 🌿🏫 From signage and displays to the language we use every day – step by step, we’re creating an environment where Welsh is visible, heard and an integral part of school life. 💚❤️

Character.AI enables users to create and interact with AI-powered characters that can behave like friends, mentors, fictional characters or romantic partners.

While these tools can feel engaging and emotionally supportive, they also introduce important safeguarding, wellbeing and privacy considerations for children and young people.

Our latest guide supports parents, carers and educators in understanding the risks and opening constructive conversations around AI companionship.

The guide explores:
• Inappropriate content and unreliable advice
• Emotional dependency and blurred boundaries
• Privacy concerns linked to personal information
• Warning signs such as secretive or excessive use
• Withdrawal from real-world activities and relationships
• Practical steps around age settings, limits and reporting concerns

With clear, accessible guidance, this resource helps adults support safer, more balanced and informed use of AI character platforms.

Year 1 and Year 2 had a visit from Mrs Tufty. We enjoyed learning about how to stay safe on the road by wearing bright coloured and reflective clothing.

🌟 Llongyfarchiadau enfawr i Daisy! 🌟

We’re incredibly proud to share that Daisy has achieved a Merit in her Musical Theatre exam with the University of West London. This means she has now officially completed Grade 4 Musical Theatre for Actors — a fantastic milestone that reflects her hard work, dedication, and growing confidence on stage.

Keep shining, Daisy — this is a brilliant achievement and we can’t wait to see what you accomplish next! 🎭✨

Rydyn ni’n hynod falch o rannu bod Daisy wedi ennill Teilyngdod yn ei harholiad Theatr Gerddorol gyda Brifysgol Gorllewin Llundain. Mae hyn yn golygu ei bod bellach wedi cwblhau Gradd 4 Theatr Gerddorol ar gyfer Actorion yn swyddogol — carreg filltir wych sy’n adlewyrchu ei gwaith caled, ei hymroddiad, a’i hyder cynyddol ar y llwyfan.

Disgleiria, Daisy — mae hwn yn gyflawniad bendigedig ac rydyn ni’n edrych ymlaen at weld beth fydd yn dod nesaf! 🎭✨
