Calendr Lles y Nadolig
Mae ein Pwyllgor Lles plant wedi bod yn gweithio’n galed yn creu calendr lles o bethau y gallwn eu gwneud dros y Nadolig a’r gwyliau sydd i ddod. Tybed faint fyddwch chi'n ei wneud?

Anrhegion Nadolig
Mae'r Nadolig fel arfer yn amser gwych i deuluoedd. Fodd bynnag, gwyddom hefyd y gall fod yn straen i rai teuluoedd, yn enwedig gyda phwysau ariannol cynyddol a chostau byw sy'n ymddangos fel pe baent yn cynyddu'n barhaus. Am y blynyddoedd diwethaf, rydym wedi cynnig cymorth gydag anrhegion Nadolig plant i deuluoedd sydd angen y gefnogaeth honno - ac rydyn yn gwneud yr un peth y flwyddyn hon.
Os ydych chi'n cael eich hun yn poeni am sut i dalu am anrhegion Nadolig i'ch plentyn neu blant eleni - cysylltwch â ni a byddwn yn gwneud yr hyn a allwn i gefnogi. Gallwch gysylltu naill ai â mi (matthew.williamson-dicken@torfaen.gov.uk) neu Mrs Redwood (sian.redwood@torfaen.gov.uk) yn y swyddfa a byddwn yn cefnogi’n sensitif ac yn gyfrinachol. Gorau po gyntaf y byddwch yn cysylltu â ni oherwydd mae'n rhoi mwy o amser i ni drefnu.
Diolch yn fawr i’r teuluoedd hefyd sydd wedi rhoi i ni er mwyn allu rhoi anrhegion o blant!
MEITHRIN I FLWYDDYN 2
Cyngherddau Nadolig Yr Wythnos Hon
Wythnos yma, rydym wedi cael dau gyngerdd Nadolig bendigedig! Bu ein dosbarthiadau Meithrin a Derbyn yn perfformio caneuon a hanes y Geni. Buont yn canu'n fendigedig a gwnaethant mor dda wrth gofio ble i sefyll a beth ddaeth nesaf - tasg fawr i'r oedran yma! Yna, ddoe, cawsom Sioe Nadolig fendigedig gyda’n plant Blwyddyn 1 a 2 wrth iddynt berfformio am y corachod coll yn ymddangos ar hyd a lled Cymru. Rydym mor falch o ymdrech y plant i gyd. Uchafbwyntiau arbennig i mi oedd fersiwn frwdfrydig iawn plant Meithrin a Derbyn o ‘Pwy Sy’n Dwad Dros y Bryn’ yn ogystal â pherfformiad Blwyddyn 1 a 2 o fy hoff garol Gymraeg ‘Brysiwch Lawr y Grisiau’.
Bydd teuluoedd y grwpiau blwyddyn hyn wedi derbyn dolen i oriel ar-lein o ddelweddau i chi ei lawrlwytho. Mae rhain wedi eu gwirio ac yn ein galluogi i gadw pawb yn saff - felly, diolchwn i chi am beidio tynnu lluniau yn ystod y cyngerdd.

AS Nick Thomas-Symonds yn Ymweld ag Ysgol Panteg
Roedd yn anrhydedd i ni groesawu ein Haelod Seneddol, Nick Thomas-Symonds, i Ysgol Panteg heddiw. Roedd ei ymweliad yn gyfle gwych i arddangos cyflawniadau ein hysgol ac ymgysylltu â’n dysgwyr ar y materion sydd bwysicaf iddyn nhw.
Dechreuodd Mr. Thomas-Symonds ar ei daith trwy arsylwi nifer o wersi ar draws gwahanol grwpiau blwyddyn. Gwnaeth brwdfrydedd ac ymgysylltiad ein plant argraff fawr arno, yn ogystal â'r dulliau addysgu arloesol a ddefnyddir gan ein staff ymroddedig. Darparodd ei ymweliad fewnwelediad gwerthfawr i'r profiadau dysgu o ddydd i ddydd yn ein hysgol.
Uchafbwynt yr ymweliad oedd diddordeb Mr. Thomas-Symonds yn ein gwobrau gydag Athroniaeth i Blant (AiB). Dysgodd sut mae’r rhaglen hon wedi’i hintegreiddio i’n cwricwlwm i wella meddwl beirniadol, rhesymu a deialog ymhlith ein dysgwyr. Mae ein llwyddiant gyda P4C wedi meithrin diwylliant o chwilfrydedd a thrafodaeth feddylgar, a braf oedd rhannu’r gamp hon ag ef.
Hefyd, cymerodd Mr. Thomas-Symonds amser i siarad yn uniongyrchol gyda'n plant am y pynciau sy'n bwysig iddynt. Gwrandawodd yn astud wrth iddynt leisio eu barn ar faterion amrywiol. Roedd yn galonogol gweld ein dysgwyr yn mynegi eu barn yn hyderus ac yn cymryd rhan mewn sgyrsiau ystyrlon gyda’u Haelodau Seneddol.
Hoffem estyn ein diolch diffuant i Mr. Thomas-Symonds am roi o'i amser i ymweld ag Ysgol Panteg. Gwerthfawrogir ei ddiddordeb a'i gefnogaeth yn ein hymdrechion addysgol yn fawr.

Rwyf wedi cael cymaint o negeseuon o gwmpas y gwasanaeth hwn - ni allaf aros i'ch gweld chi i gyd yno!
Ymunwch â ni am brynhawn llawn hwyl, llawenydd a myfyrdod. Edrychwn ymlaen at eich gweld chi yno a rhannu’r dathliad ystyrlon hwn gyda’n holl deuluoedd a ffrindiau.

Diwrnod Siwmper Nadolig
Roedd heddiw yn ddiwrnod twymgalon a Nadoligaidd yn ein hysgol wrth i ni ddathlu Diwrnod Siwmper Nadolig! Daeth plant a staff at ei gilydd, gan wisgo eu siwmperi Nadolig mwyaf creadigol a chlyd, i gyd yn ysbryd yr wyl. Gwisgodd rhai ohonom tinsel yn lle!
Rydym yn falch iawn o gyhoeddi ein bod wedi codi £205 i Achub y Plant. Mae eich haelioni a'ch brwdfrydedd wedi gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol, gan helpu i gefnogi plant mewn angen ledled y byd.
Diolch i bawb a gymerodd ran ac i bawb gyfrannodd. Gyda'n gilydd, rydym wedi dangos y gall ychydig o hwyl yr wyl fod yn bell i wneud y byd yn lle gwell.

Christmas Gifts
Christmas is normally a wonderful time for families. However, we also know that for some families it can be stressful especially with increased financial pressures and the cost of living which continually seems to be going up. For the last few years, we’ve offered support with children’s Christmas gifts to families who need that support - and we are doing the same this year.
If you are finding yourself worrying about how to pay for Christmas gifts for your child or children this year - please get in contact and we will do what we can to support. You can contact either myself (matthew.williamson-dicken@torfaen.gov.uk) or Mrs Redwood (sian.redwood@torfaen.gov.uk) in the office and we will support sensitively and confidentially. The sooner you get in contact with us the better because it gives us more time to organise.
Thank you to those families who have given to ensure that others have gifts. We truly appreciate your kindness.
NURSERY TO YEAR 2
This Week’s Christmas Concerts
This week, we have had two wonderful Christmas concerts! Our Nursery and Reception classes performed songs and the story of the Nativity. They sang wonderfully and did so well in remembering where to stand and what came next - no mean feat for this age group! Then, yesterday, we had a wonderful Christmas Show with our Year 1 and 2 children as they performed about the missing elves appearing all over Wales. We are so proud of all the children’s effort. Particular highlights for me were the Nursery and Reception children very enthusiastic version of ‘Pwy Sy’n Dwad Dros y Bryn’ as well as Year 1 and 2’s performance of my favourite Welsh carol ‘Brysiwch Lawr y Grisiau’.
Families of these year groups will have received a link to an online gallery of images for you to download. These have been checked and allow us to keep everyone safe - so, we thank you for not taking photos during the concert.

MP Nick Thomas-Symonds Visits Ysgol Panteg
We were honoured to welcome our Member of Parliament, Nick Thomas-Symonds, to Ysgol Panteg today. His visit was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our school’s achievements and engage with our learners on the issues that matter most to them.
Mr. Thomas-Symonds began his tour by observing several lessons across different year groups. He was highly impressed with the enthusiasm and engagement of our children, as well as the innovative teaching methods employed by our dedicated staff. His visit provided valuable insights into the day-to-day learning experiences at our school.
A highlight of the visit was Mr. Thomas-Symonds' interest in our awards with Philosophy for Children (P4C). He learned about how this programme has been integrated into our curriculum to enhance critical thinking, reasoning, and dialogue among our learners. Our success with P4C has fostered a culture of inquisitiveness and thoughtful discussion, and it was wonderful to share this achievement with him.
Mr. Thomas-Symonds also took time to speak directly with our children about the topics that are important to them. He listened attentively as they voiced their thoughts on various issues. It was inspiring to see our learners confidently express their opinions and engage in meaningful conversations with their MP.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Mr. Thomas-Symonds for taking the time to visit Ysgol Panteg. His interest and support in our educational endeavours are greatly appreciated.

Interim Progress Reports
We’ve come to that time of the year again where we give an update to you as families about the progress of your child. By Monday, you will have received an overview outlining your child’s progress across different areas of the curriculum.
This report is a one-page snapshot to supplement the information given to you as part of our ‘Pupil Progress and Wellbeing Meetings’. The next ‘Pupil Progress and Wellbeing Meetings’ are due to be held in the Spring Term. Families will also receive a full report in April and a final one-page report before the Summer holidays. If you have a concern, or you wish to discuss further, you are welcome to contact your child’s teacher who can arrange a telephone call or a meeting. This is all part of our promise to keep in close and regular contact with you about the progress of your child.
For some families, who live over more than one household, we can provide a copy for each person with parental responsibility. If your circumstances have changed and you will need more than one copy, please let us know via ClassDojo and we can provide a second copy.
As always, if you have any queries or concerns or simply wish to speak to your child’s teacher, please don’t hesitate to contact them to arrange a phone call or a meeting. They will be more than happy to arrange with you.

Christmas Jumper Day
Today was a heartwarming and festive day at our school as we celebrated Christmas Jumper Day! Children and staff came together, wearing their most creative and cozy Christmas jumpers, all in the spirit of giving. Some of us donned tinsel instead!
We are thrilled to announce that we raised £205 for Save the Children. Your generosity and enthusiasm have made a real difference, helping to support children in need around the world.
Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed. Together, we've shown that a little festive fun can go a long way in making the world a better place.
