English: Well, Llywydd, I thank Jenny Rathbone for her very solid support throughout this for children and the need for those children to be back in school. The science does change in relation to coronavirus. Members of Plaid Cymru have pointed to further studies today, which need to be taken into account, but the bulk of evidence that we have seen is that children don't spread the disease and that they don't suffer from the disease to the extent of others. Children suffer in other ways. Children under the age of 11 told that they've got to keep a social distance from people who they love and other children who they know suffer through that as well. So, I was very glad on Friday that we were able to say that the evidence tells us that we can lift that restriction on their lives, and it ought to mean that the reopening of schools in September will be easier in that way. It's not the only part of the picture, as I know Jenny Rathbone knows. There are adults in school we have to think about. Lots of the risks of school are not posed in the classroom; they're posed in the way that people arrive at school and leave school, and all the things that happen around a school. So, headteachers will still be thinking carefully about the fullest extent to which they are able to reopen, including breakfast clubs and after-school clubs and so on. And in secondary schools we, uniquely in Wales, have the advantage of the fact that children were back in secondary school at the end of June and into July and headteachers have learnt a great deal from that. We're doing a lot with the sector to make sure that that experience is shared and that teachers are able to return to the classroom with children of secondary school age to the fullest possible extent. We're offering some extra flexibility at the start of the school term to allow people to make adjustments in those first couple of weeks, and then our aim is to have as many children back for as long as possible, because that is in their interest, as our own children's commissioner, as well as the children's commissioner in England, have so very powerfully articulated.
Welsh: Wel, Lywydd, diolch i Jenny Rathbone am ei chefnogaeth gadarn iawn drwy gydol hyn i blant a'r angen i'r plant hynny fod yn ôl yn yr ysgol. Mae'r wyddoniaeth yn newid mewn perthynas â'r coronafeirws. Mae aelodau Plaid Cymru wedi tynnu sylw at astudiaethau pellach heddiw, astudiaethau y mae angen eu hystyried, ond mae'r rhan fwyaf o'r dystiolaeth rydym wedi'i gweld yn nodi nad yw plant yn lledaenu'r afiechyd ac nad ydynt yn dioddef o'r clefyd i'r un graddau ag eraill. Mae plant yn dioddef mewn ffyrdd eraill. Mae plant o dan 11 oed sy'n clywed bod yn rhaid iddynt gadw pellter cymdeithasol oddi wrth bobl y maent yn eu caru a phlant eraill y maent yn eu hadnabod yn dioddef drwy hynny hefyd. Felly, roeddwn yn falch iawn ddydd Gwener ein bod wedi gallu dweud bod y dystiolaeth yn dweud wrthym y gallwn godi'r cyfyngiad hwnnw ar eu bywydau, a dylai olygu y bydd y broses o ailagor ysgolion ym mis Medi yn haws yn y ffordd honno. Nid dyma'r unig ran o'r darlun, fel y gwn fod Jenny Rathbone yn gwybod. Rhaid inni feddwl am oedolion yn yr ysgol. Nid yn yr ystafell ddosbarth y mae llawer o'r risgiau sy'n gysylltiedig ag ysgolion i'w canfod; maent yn deillio o'r ffordd y mae pobl yn cyrraedd yr ysgol ac yn gadael yr ysgol, a'r holl bethau sy'n digwydd o amgylch ysgol. Felly, bydd penaethiaid yn dal i feddwl yn ofalus ynglŷn ag ailagor i'r graddau mwyaf y gallant ei wneud, gan gynnwys clybiau brecwast a chlybiau ar ôl ysgol ac ati. Ac mewn ysgolion uwchradd, mae gennym fantais unigryw yng Nghymru yn yr ystyr fod plant wedi bod yn ôl yn yr ysgol uwchradd ddiwedd mis Mehefin a dechrau mis Gorffennaf, ac mae penaethiaid wedi dysgu llawer o hynny. Rydym yn gwneud llawer gyda'r sector i sicrhau bod y profiad hwnnw'n cael ei rannu a bod athrawon yn gallu dychwelyd i'r ystafell ddosbarth gyda phlant oedran uwchradd i'r graddau mwyaf sy'n bosibl. Rydym yn cynnig rhywfaint o hyblygrwydd ychwanegol ar ddechrau'r tymor ysgol i ganiatáu i bobl wneud addasiadau yn yr ychydig wythnosau cyntaf hynny, a'n nod wedyn yw sicrhau bod cymaint â phosibl o blant yn dychwelyd am gymaint â phosibl o amser am fod hynny er lles iddynt, fel y mae ein comisiynydd plant ein hunain, yn ogystal â'r comisiynydd plant yn Lloegr, wedi'i ddweud mor rymus.
