English: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Last week I was delighted to attend Fochriw Primary School's red kite celebration fair-trade coffee afternoon. The red kite project at the school is designed to develop the pupils to be ethically informed and to hold strong values about the environment and the nature that is around them. For the project, the school formed an eco-committee, which came up with a range of ideas, including a pupil voice and ownership of the project, three school rules, which were to be respectful, to be responsible, and to be safe, and, as part of this, pupils were encouraged to be even more respectful to wildlife, both in and out of school, to develop their digital and real-life skills, and to promote Cwricwlwm Cymraeg, with the story of the red kite in Wales. The project gave pupils a realisation that nature is all around us, if only we open our eyes. As they said, it is really special, and we need to be responsible in looking after it now and for future generations. Arising from their activity, the project has not only raised awareness of the red kite, but has also raised money, enabling the school to make a donation to the Gwent Ornithological Society, which uses the money to replace nest boxes in the Goytre House wood. The pupils embarked on an intensive social media campaign to share their experiences of the project and provide information on the red kite, which is regularly seen in the area around Fochriw, and in the wider Rhymney valley. The project received its well-earned recognition when it recently won the 2017 Young People's Trust for the Environment's Better Energy School award, for the Wales and west region. Can I ask Assembly Members to join me in congratulating Fochriw Primary School on its award, and applauding their fantastic work on the red kite project, and in raising awareness of the environmental issues amongst young people, whilst at the same time developing their digital skills? Diolch.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Yr wythnos diwethaf, pleser o'r mwyaf oedd bod yn bresennol ym mhrynhawn coffi masnach deg Ysgol Gynradd Fochriw i ddathlu'r barcud coch. Cynlluniwyd prosiect y barcud coch yn yr ysgol i ddatblygu'r disgyblion i fod yn wybodus yn foesegol ac i arddel gwerthoedd cadarn ynglŷn â'r amgylchedd a byd natur o'u cwmpas. Ar gyfer y prosiect, ffurfiodd yr ysgol eco-bwyllgor a gynigiodd amrywiaeth o syniadau, gan gynnwys llais y disgybl a pherchnogaeth y disgyblion ar y prosiect, tair rheol ysgol, sef dangos parch, bod yn gyfrifol, a bod yn ddiogel, ac yn rhan o hyn, anogwyd y disgyblion i barchu bywyd gwyllt yn fwy byth hyd yn oed, o fewn a thu allan i'r ysgol, i ddatblygu eu sgiliau digidol a bywyd go iawn, ac i hyrwyddo'r Cwricwlwm Cymraeg, gyda hanes y barcud coch yng Nghymru. Drwy'r prosiect, daeth y disgyblion i sylweddoli bod natur o'n cwmpas ym mhob man, ond i ni agor ein llygaid. Fel roeddent yn dweud, mae'n arbennig iawn, ac mae angen i ni fod yn gyfrifol wrth ofalu am fyd natur yn awr ac ar gyfer cenedlaethau'r dyfodol. Yn deillio o'u gweithgarwch, mae'r prosiect nid yn unig wedi codi ymwybyddiaeth ynglŷn â'r barcud coch, ond mae hefyd wedi codi arian, gan alluogi'r ysgol i roi cyfraniad i Gymdeithas Adaregol Gwent, sy'n defnyddio'r arian i adnewyddu blychau nythu yng nghoedwig Neuadd Goetre. Dechreuodd y disgyblion ar ymgyrch ddwys yn y cyfryngau cymdeithasol i rannu eu profiadau o'r prosiect a darparu gwybodaeth am y barcud coch, sydd i'w weld yn rheolaidd yn yr ardal o amgylch Fochriw, ac yng Nghwm Rhymni yn ehangach. Cafodd y prosiect gydnabyddiaeth haeddiannol pan enillodd wobr Ysgol Ynni Gwell Ymddiriedolaeth Pobl Ifanc dros yr Amgylchedd 2017 ar gyfer Cymru a gorllewin Lloegr. A gaf fi ofyn i Aelodau'r Cynulliad ymuno â mi i longyfarch Ysgol Gynradd Fochriw ar ei gwobr, a chymeradwyo eu gwaith gwych ar brosiect y barcud coch, a chodi ymwybyddiaeth o faterion amgylcheddol ymhlith pobl ifanc, a datblygu eu sgiliau digidol ar yr un pryd? Diolch.
