Another highly successful Year 7 Eisteddfod was held on Friday March 11th. The pupils clearly enjoyed the competitive nature of the day and were as usual vocal in their support of their house – Coch, Gwyn and Gwyrdd.  Prior to the day, a total of 13 departments had set off stage subject competitions which were keenly entered by pupils.

At the start of the day, the overall results of these competitions were announced – Coch -1712 points, Gwyn 1820 points and Gwyrdd 1947 points. With everything to play for, the onstage competitions begun. As usual, these were varied – ranging from individual to group recitations, a variety of musical competitions to drama , a Welsh sketch and dancing.

The standard in many of these competitions was very high indeed and really showcased the year group as an extremely talented bunch of students. As the day went on, the balance of power shifted until at the end of the day Gwyn emerged as overall Eisteddfod winners followed closely by Gwyrdd, then Coch. As is usual in our Eisteddfod, we like to call on pupils from other year groups to perform during the day.

Liberty Welsh of year 8 played a memorable and beautiful traditional Welsh tune on the harp, Elliott Lewis and Harry Kellam of year 9 performed an enjoyable ukulele duet, the Chamber Choir sang “Hafan Gobaith” and Georgia Warsama of Year 12, herself an Eisteddfod winner five years ago sang a solo from the school musical. Added to this was the unforgettable dance performance by Jed Smith in year 8, which got the whole Dutch Barn on their feet and clapping!

All in all, a most enjoyable and entertaining day for all concerned. It is hoped that next year our link school in Indonesia will stage some competitions of their own and play an active part in the Eisteddfod. Diwrnod bythgofiadwy!!

Cynhaliwyd unwaith eto Eisteddfod Blwyddyn 7 llwyddiannus dros ben  ar ddydd Gwener, Mawrth 11eg. Roedd hi’n gwbl amlwg o’u lleisiau gymaint fwynheuodd y plant natur cystadleuol y diwrnod ac roeddent yn gefnogol iawn o’u tai – Coch, Gwyn a Gwyrdd. Yn flaenorol, roedd cyfanswm o 13 o adrannau wedi cynnig cystadlaethau pwnc, ac fe gystadlodd nifer helaeth iawn o’r flwyddyn.

Ar ddechrau’r dydd , cyhoeddwyd canlyniadau y cystadlaethau hyn – Coch -1712 pwynt,
Gwyn 1820 pwynt a Gwyrdd 1820 pwynt. Gallai hyn, wrth gwrs , newid! Ac ymlaen a ni! Fel arfer, roedd amrywiaeth o gystadlaethau, o adrodd unigol i adrodd cor, nifer o gystadlaethau cerddorol, drama, sgets gymraeg a dawns. Gwelwyd  safon uchel dros ben mewn rhai o’r cystadlaethau sy’n dangos gymaint o dalent sy ym mlwyddyn saith eleni.

Wrth i’r diwrnod fynd yn ei flaen, bu newid yn y ty gorau a Gwyn ddaeth i’r brig ar ddiwedd y dydd, gyda Gwyrdd yn agos atynt ac yna Coch. Fel arfer yn ein Eisteddfod, rydym yn galw ar fyfyrwyr talentog eraill i berfformio yn ystod y dydd. Canodd Liberty Welsh o Flwyddyn 8 alaw draddodiadol gymreig ar y delyn, Elliott Lewis a Harry Kellam ddeuawd ar yr ukulele, y cor y gan “Hafan Gobaith” a Georgia Warsama, cyn enillydd yn yr Eisteddfod bum mlynedd yn ol gan o sioe gerddorol yr ysgol.

Cafwyd perfformiad dawns bythgofiadwy gan Jed Smith o Flwyddyn 8, a phawb ar eu traed yn ei gymeradwyo! Diwrnod llwyddiannus i bawb. Gobeithir y flwyddyn nesa bydd ein ffrindiau yn yr ysgol yn Indonesia yn llwyfannu cystadlaethau eu hunain a chwarae rhan yn ein Eisteddfod.
