| Mae’r cyllid yn seiliedig ar gytundeb rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a Phlaid Cymru. A'r argyfwng costau byw yn parhau i gael effaith ar deuluoedd ledled Cymru, mae £9 miliwn wedi'i ddarparu i gynnig pryd ysgol am ddim i ddisgyblion cymwys hyd at ddiwedd gwyliau hanner tymor mis Mai. Bydd hyn hefyd yn cynnwys pob un o wyliau banc y cyfnod hwn. Daw'r cyhoeddiad ar Ddiwrnod Rhyngwladol Prydau Ysgol ar 9 Mawrth, sy'n cael ei ddathlu'n flynyddol er mwyn codi ymwybyddiaeth o bwysigrwydd bwyta'n iach a lles plant. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn gweithio gyda Plant yng Nghymru i gefnogi Diwrnod Rhyngwladol Prydau Ysgol drwy annog ysgolion ledled Cymru i ddathlu prydau ysgol a hybu maeth da. Yn 2020, Cymru oedd cenedl gyntaf y DU i warantu prydau ysgol am ddim i deuluoedd cymwys yn ystod gwyliau'r ysgol. Awdurdodau lleol unigol sy'n penderfynu sut i weinyddu'r ddarpariaeth, naill ai drwy greu cinio neu drwy ddarparu talebau neu daliadau uniongyrchol i deuluoedd. Mae Cytundeb Cydweithio Llywodraeth Cymru a Phlaid Cymru yn ymrwymo i ddarparu prydau ysgol am ddim i holl blant ysgolion cynradd yn ystod y tymor erbyn 2024\. Mae dros dair miliwn o brydau wedi cael eu gweini ers dechrau cyflwyno’r cynllun ym mis Medi 2022\. Dywedodd Gweinidog y Gymraeg ac Addysg, Jeremy Miles:  Mae llawer o deuluoedd ledled Cymru yn teimlo effaith prisiau cynyddol a'r argyfwng costau byw. Dw i'n gobeithio y bydd ymestyn y ddarpariaeth prydau ysgol am ddim yn ystod y gwyliau tan hanner tymor mis Mai yn rhoi tawelwch meddwl i'r rhai sy’n gymwys. Rydyn ni'n gwybod bod bwyd yn cael effaith enfawr ar allu plant i ganolbwyntio a’u lles cyffredinol. Dw i am i blant a phobl ifanc allu mwynhau eu gwyliau ysgol a pheidio gorfod poeni am fwyd. Mae'r cyhoeddiad newydd hwn ynghyd â'r newyddion bod 3 miliwn o brydau bwyd wedi'u gweini drwy gynllun Prydau Ysgol am Ddim i Holl Blant Ysgolion Cynradd yn dangos ein hymrwymiad parhaus i sicrhau nad yw unrhyw blentyn yn mynd heb fwyd.  Dywedodd Aelod Dynodedig Plaid Cymru, Siân Gwenllian:  Yn ystod yr argyfwng costau byw hwn, rydyn ni’n gweithredu i sicrhau y bydd pryd ysgol maethlon ar gael yn rhad ac am ddim i bob plentyn yn ein hysgolion cynradd yn ystod y tymor, gan leddfu'r pwysau yn ystod y cyfnod anodd hwn. Drwy weithio gyda'n gilydd, mi allwn ni gyhoeddi hefyd estyniad pellach ar brydau ysgol am ddim yn ystod y gwyliau i'r rhai o deuluoedd incwm is, buddsoddiad gwerth miliynau o bunnoedd a fydd yn gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol i lawer. Mae ein Cytundeb Cydweithio yn rhoi cefnogaeth i deuluoedd y mae ei hangen yn fawr, i sicrhau bod plant a phobl ifanc yn cael y dechrau gorau mewn bywyd. |

| The funding is an agreement between the Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru. With the cost\-of\-living crisis continuing to have an impact on families across Wales, £9 million has been provided to offer eligible pupils a free school meal up until the end of May half term holiday, including all bank holidays during this period. The announcement comes on International School Meals Day on 9th March, which is celebrated annually to raise awareness of the importance of healthy eating and children’s well\-being. The Welsh Government has been working with Children in Wales to support International School Meals Day by encouraging schools across Wales to celebrate school meals and to promote good nutrition. In 2020 Wales became the first UK nation to guarantee free school meals for eligible families during the school holidays. Individual local authorities decide how to administer the free meal provision, either by creating lunches or by providing vouchers or direct payments to families. The Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru’s Co\-operation Agreement commits to providing free school meals to all primary school children during term time by 2024\. Over three million meals have been served since rollout began in September 2022\. Minister for Education and Welsh Language, Jeremy Miles, said:  Many families across Wales are feeling the impact of rising prices and the cost\-of\-living crisis. I hope extending free school holiday provision until May half term will give those eligible piece of mind. We know that food has a huge impact on concentration and children’s overall well\-being. I want children and young people to be able to enjoy their school holidays and not have to worry about being hungry. This new announcement alongside the news that three million meals have been served up though Universal Primary Free School Meals shows our continued commitment that no child should go hungry.  Plaid Cymru’s Designated Member, Sian Gwenllian, said:  During this cost\-of\-living crisis we are taking action to make sure all children in our primary schools will have access to a nutritious, free school meal during term time, easing the pressure during these difficult times. By working together we are also able to announce a further extension of free schools meals during the school holidays for those from lower income families, a multi\-million pound investment that will make a real difference to many. Our Co\-operation Agreement is delivering much needed support for families to ensure children and young people get the best start in life. |
