Gardd Addysgol Glan Morfa / Glan Morfa Edible Playground
Annwyl Rieni a Gwarcheidwaid,
Dwi'n siŵr i nifer ohonoch sylwi ar y gwaith adeiladu sydd yn digwydd ar hyn o bryd tu allan i'r dosbarth Derbyn yng nghefn yr ysgol. Rydym yn falch iawn ein bod ni wedi cael ein dewis yn un o ysgolion Caerdydd sydd yn mynd i gael gardd addysgol newydd sbon ar ein maes chwarae. Mae hyn yn rhan o gynllun cenedlaethol "Trees for Cities - Edible Playgrounds".
Gwelwch isod am fwy o wybodaeth am y cynllun a'r hyn y mae yn ei gynnig i'r disgyblion/ysgol. Cliciwch ar y ddolen PDF i chi weld y cynllun cyffrous sydd yn cael ei adeiladu ar hyn o bryd. Rydym yn gobeithio i'r gwaith adeiladu orffen ymhen tair wythnos.
Diolch i chi gyd,
Mr M Tomos
Pennaeth.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I am sure that you all noticed yesterday the building work that is currently taking place outside our Reception class in the playground. We are delighted that we have been chosen as one of the schools in Cardiff to be part of the "Trees for Cities - Edible Playground" initiative.
Please see below more information about this initiative and what is offers to our pupils and the school. Click on the PDF link to see the exciting design that is currently being built. We hope that the building work will be finished in around three weeks.
Thank you,
Mr M Tomos
Headteacher
Edible Playground Information
MANY CHILDREN IN INNER CITY AREAS DON’T KNOW WHERE THEIR FOOD COMES FROM
Increasingly exposed to unhealthy food choices and with limited opportunities to grow and eat good food, one in three children leaving primary school are overweight or obese.
Edible Playgrounds offer a lively, engaging, multi-sensory way to teach children about growing and eating healthy food. Aside from the physical health benefits that eating well brings, learning in an outdoor environment combats Nature Deficit Disorder and has been shown to increase mental health by boosting mood, confidence and self-esteem. Furthermore, allowing the children to connect with nature develops attentiveness and self-reliance in the pupils, leading to more sustainable behaviours in the long term.
