• School Update - Covid19

  Wed 18 Mar 2020

  Hello everyone,

   

  I am writing to keep you informed, as much as I can regarding the current situation. I say as much as I can , because as I`m sure as you are also experiencing , things are rapidly changing all the time!

   

  We are continuing to take precautions against the coronavirus - regular handwashing , anti-bacterial handwashes , staggered toilet breaks etc and as usual , the children have responded magnificently , although whoever decided upon the term “social distancing” has evidently never worked in a school….!!

   

  The school is currently open as usual , and the staff are working tirelessly to ensure that your children are happy and safe every day.This of course despite the fact that a large majority are parents themselves and of course are sharing your worries and concerns about everything that is happening!

   

  As long as we remain open , you know that we will continue to help , support and be positive for your child at all times.

   

  In the event of the school having to close , we are also working tirelessly to produce resources that you will be able to use at home with your children. If your child is currently at home , we are unable to send any resources just yet , as they are not quite finished.

   

  This is an unprecedented time for us , and we are trying our best to ensure that everything is done properly , but please bear with us for a short time as it`s just as new for us as it is for you!

   

  The packs and resources will be available through our website - www.rhyd-y-grug.cymru. If you have difficulty in accessing the internet , please let us know. The vast majority of the tasks that we are preparing will not require you to print the resource , so hopefully that will help.

   

  I will contact you again once a decision is made regarding school closures with more information , and please remember that IF the school closes , we will still be working and be on hand to give advice and help. We have started setting up a dedicated home task e-mail address so that you can ask any questions that may arise. 

   

  As a parent , I can understand fully the sense of worry that you all must be feeling , but please be assured that all of us at Ysgol Rhyd y Grug will continue to provide your children with the best possible care in our caring , supportive environment.

   

  Please stay safe!

  Mr Williams

• Coronavirus - March 16th - Letter from school.

  Mon 16 Mar 2020

  Monday , March 16^th.

  I am writing to inform you of the steps we have taken in an effort to reduce the risk of the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on the school site.

  We will continue to follow and share all advice issued by Public Health, Welsh Government and the Local Authority.

   

  The school has not been advised to close at this time.

   

  In order to do all we can to safeguard all the pupils and staff of the School, we ask for your full cooperation in implementing the following:

   Constantly remind your child to wash their hands well to promote good hygiene practices

   If you need to visit the school (please avoid unnecessary visits), we ask that you wash your hands or use an anti-bacterial sanitizer before arriving

   We ask that you do not visit the school unless it is of great importance between 9:00am and 3:25pm

   Please do not attend school if you have recently travelled from one of the quarantine regions /areas

   We ask you not to attend school if you have been in contact with a person with symptoms in the last 14 days or have a newly developed cough, temperature or shortness of breath

   To keep your child from School if they have a newly developed cough, temperature or shortness of breath

   Remind your child not to share drinks with others

   

  We have a good stock of hand washing soap and the children receive regular messages about how to wash hands properly..

   

  Although we will make every possible effort to secure the best possible education for your child we will not:

   arrange visits or invite visitors to the School from Monday 16th March onwards

   We will not hold whole-school assemblies

   

  There are plans in place to provide your child with work should the school need to close for any length of time. The work will be added to the school website for Nursery , Reception and Years 1 and 2 and Google Classroom for Years 3 - 6.

   

  Although this is a difficult time for us all, we hope that this correspondence reassures you that the school is responding appropriately and that the safety and health of your child and school staff is a priority.

   

  Until we receive further advice, we will continue to operate a full teaching day (excluding after school clubs), welcoming your child to school each day.

   

  Finally, for further updates please check

• Coronavirus - Mawrth 16eg - llythyr o`r ysgol

  Mon 16 Mar 2020

  Dydd Llun , Mawrth 16eg

   

  Ysgrifennaf atoch yn eich hysbysu o’r camau rydym wedi ymgymryd er mwyn ymdrechu i leihau’r risg o ledaeniad y Coronavirus (COVID-19) ar safle’r ysgol.

  Byddwn yn parhau i ddilyn a rhannu’r holl gyngor a gyhoeddwyd gan Iechyd y Cyhoedd, Llywodraeth Cymru a'r Awdurdod Lleol.

  Nid yw'r ysgol wedi cael ei chynghori i gau ar hyn o bryd.

  Er mwyn gwneud popeth a gallwn i ddiogelu holl ddisgyblion a staff yr Ysgol, gofynnwn am eich cydweithrediad llwyr wrth rhoi’r canlynol ar waith:

   atgoffa’ch plentyn yn barhaus i olchi dwylo’n dda er mwyn hyrwyddo arferion hylendid da

   Os oes rhaid ymweld â'r Ysgol, gofynnwn eich bod wedi golchi eich dwylo neu wedi defnyddio hylif glanweithio gwrth-facteria cyn cyrraedd

   gofynnwn i chi beidio â mynychu'r ysgol ar ol 9:00yb a chyn 3:25yp heblaw bo gwir angen

   gofynnwn i chi beidio â mynychu'r ysgol os ydych chi wedi teithio o un o'r rhanbarthau / ardaloedd cwarantîn yn ddiweddar

   gofynnwn i chi beidio a mynychu’r ysgol os ydych chi wedi bod mewn cysylltiad ag unigolyn symptomatig yn ystod y 14 diwrnod diwethaf neu oes oes gennych beswch o’r newydd, gwres neu’n fyr o anadl

   i gadw eich plentyn o’r Ysgol os oes ganddo beswch o’r newydd, gwres neu’n fyr o anadl

   atgoffa’ch plentyn i beidio rhannu diodydd, peniau ayyb gydag eraill

  Yn amlwg, mae gennym stôc dda o sebon golchi dwylo ac mae'r plant yn derbyn negeseuon cyson ynglŷn â sut I olchi dwylo'n iawn.

  Er y byddwn yn gwneud pob ymdrech bosib i sicrhau yr addysg orau posib i’ch plentyn ni fyddwn:

   yn trefnu ymweliadau nac yn gwahodd ymwelwyr i’r Ysgol o ddydd Llun 16eg o Fawrth ymlaen

   ni fyddwn yn cynnal gwasanaethau Ysgol gyfan

   

   

  Mae cynlluniau ar waith i ddarparu gwaith i'ch plentyn pe bai angen i'r ysgol gau am unrhyw hyd. Bydd y rhan fwyaf o'r gwaith yn cael ei ychwanegu at wefan yr ysgol o`r Feithrin,Derbyn i  Fl 1 a 2 a Google Classroom i Fl 3 – 6.  naill ai ar wefan yr ygsol, drwy ebost neu Google Classroom.

  Er bod hwn yn gyfnod anodd a chyfnewidiol i ni gyd, gobeithio bod yr ohebiaeth hon yn rhoi sicrwydd ichi fod yr ysgol yn ymateb yn briodol a bod diogelwch a iechyd eich plentyn a staff yr ysgol yn flaenoriaeth. Hyd nes y byddwn yn derbyn cyngor arall, byddwn yn parhau i weithredu diwrnod addysgu llawn (ag eithrio clybiau ar ȏl ysgol), gan groesawu'ch plentyn i'r ysgol bob dydd.

   

  Yn olaf, am ddiweddariadau pellach gwiriwch eich cyfri Teachers2Parents yn ddyddiol, gwefan https://phw.nhs.wales/ a gwefan sir Merthyr am statws yr Ysgol.

  Cadwch yn ddiogel!

  Yn ddiffuant

• Llythyr coronavirus o`r Awdurdod

  Fri 13 Mar 2020
   

   

   

  Annwyl Riant/Gofalwr

   

   

  CORONAFEIRWS (COVID-19)

   

  Diogelwch y plant yn ein hysgolion yw prif flaenoriaeth Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Merthyr Tudful ar Ogwr a byddwn yn parhau i weithredu er eu budd nhw.

   

  Er bod y sefyllfa o ran coronafeirws yn datblygu’n gyflym, rydym am eich sicrhau bod yr awdurdod lleol yn gweithio’n agos gydag ysgolion, Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru a Llywodraeth Cymru i roi unrhyw fesurau angenrheidiol ar waith i ddiogelu disgyblion, staff ac ymwelwyr wrth i’r feirws ledaenu.

   

  Tra nad oes yna unrhyw achosion dynodedig cyfredol am bobl sy’n byw yn ardal Merthyr Tudful, mae ysgol eich plentyn yn dilyn cyngor penodol a gyflwynwyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru mewn perthynas â rheoli coronafeirws mewn ysgolion

   

  Y cyngor cenedlaethol, fel ar heddiw (13 Mawrth 2020) yw i bethau barhau fel y maent, ond roeddwn i am eich sicrhau chi bod yr awdurdod lleol yn monitro’r datblygiadau’n ofalus, yn lleol ac yn genedlaethol. Yn y cyswllt hwn, mae’r awdurdod lleol wrthi’n datblygu strategaeth i sicrhau bod cynlluniau ac adnoddau effeithiol ar gael i ymateb yn briodol wrth i’r sefyllfa newid. 

   

  Er gwybodaeth, mae llawer o gyngor ar gael i’r cyhoedd ar wefannau Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru, Llywodraeth Cymru a Llywodraeth y DU mewn perthynas â coronafeirws.

   

  At hyn, mae cyngor mwy penodol i rieni a gofalwyr i’w gael ar wefan Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru a byddwn yn eich annog i edrych ar y wefan yn rheolaidd. Mae rhagor o gyngor cyffredinol ynghylch teithio i’r DU neu o’r DU i’w weld ar wefan y Swyddfa Dramor a Chymanwlad (FCO).

   

  Yn y cyfamser, mae’ch cymorth fel rhieni/gofalwyr yn hanfodol i’n strategaeth ar gyfer atal coronofeirws rhag ymledu. Rhaid i mi bwysleisio eto mai’r ffordd orau o beidio â chael eich heintio yw drwy ofalu’ch bod yn cadw’ch dwylo’n lân.

   

  Felly, dywedwch wrth eich plant am olchi’u dwylo:

   

  • cyn gadael y cartref;
  • wrth gyrraedd yr ysgol;
  • ar ôl defnyddio’r toiled;
  • cyn paratoi bwyd;
  • ar ôl amseroedd egwyl ac ar ôl cymryd rhan mewn chwaraeon;
  • cyn bwyta bwyd, gan gynnwys byrbrydau;
  • cyn gadael yr ysgol; ac
  • wrth ddychwelyd adref o’r ysgol.

   

  Dywedwch wrth eich plant hefyd am:

   

  • beidio â chyffwrdd â’u llygaid, eu trwyn a’u ceg os nad ydyn nhw wedi golchi’u dwylo; ac
  • osgoi cyffwrdd â phobl sy’n wael.

   

  Os ydych chi’n poeni y gallai eich plentyn fod yn dangos symptomau coronafeirws, ffoniwch Galw Iechyd Cymru  0845 46 47 neu 111.  Os fydd eich plentyn yn datblygu peswch neu fod ganddo wres uchel dylech ei gadw adref o’r ysgol am 7 diwrnod i hunan ynysu a pheidio â dychwelyd i’r ysgol nes bod y cyfnod hwn wedi dod i ben.  Peidiwch â mynd at eich Meddyg Teulu nac unrhyw amgylchedd gofal iechyd arall.

   

  Cofiwch fod yr awdurdod lleol yn cymryd pob cam posibl i ymateb i’r sefyllfa hon.

   

  Yn gywir

• Coronavirus Letter from Merthyr CBC

  Fri 13 Mar 2020

  Dear Parent/Carer

   

  CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

   

  Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council’s primary concern is for the safety of children in our schools and we will continue to act in their best interests.

   

  While the situation regarding coronavirus is developing quickly, please be assured that the local authority is working closely with schools, Public Health Wales and Welsh Government in order to implement any necessary measures to protect pupils, staff and visitors from the spread of coronavirus.

   

  While there are currently no identified cases from people living within the Merthyr Tydfil area, your child’s school is following specific advice issued by Welsh Government in relation to the management of coronavirus in schools. 

   

  National advice, as of today (13 March 2020), remains very much a case of ‘business as usual’, but I wanted to reassure you that the local authority is closely monitoring developments, both locally and nationally.  In this respect, the local authority is currently developing a strategy to ensure that effective plans and resources are in place to respond appropriately to this changing situation.

   

  For information, there is a range of advice available to the public on the Public Health Wales, Welsh Government and UK Government websites in relation to coronavirus.

   

  In addition, more specific advice for parents and carers can be found on the Public Health Wales website and I would encourage you to access this routinely.  Further general advice in relation to travel to or from the UK can also be found on the website of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO).

   

  In the meantime, your support as parents/carers is critical to our strategy to fight the spread of coronavirus.  I can only reiterate that the best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to the virus through good hygiene.

   

  Therefore, please advise your child to wash their hands:

   

  • before leaving home;
  • on arrival at school;
  • after using the toilet;
  • before food preparation;
  • after breaks and sporting activities;
  • before eating any food, including snacks;
  • before leaving school; and
  • on returning home from school.

   

  Please also advise your children to:

   

  • avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands; and
  • avoid close contact with people who are unwell.

   

  If you are worried that your child may be symptomatic for coronavirus, please call NHS Direct Wales on 0845 46 47 or 111.  If they develop a cough or have a high temperature they should self-isolate for 7 days and not return to school until this period is over.  Do not go directly to your GP or other healthcare environment.

   

  Please be assured once again that the local authority is taking all possible steps to respond to this situation.

   

  Yours sincerely

  SUE WALKER
