Welcome

This week (Monday 1st–Sunday 7th February) is Children's Mental Health Week! This awareness week has been held annually since 2015 to shine a spotlight on the importance of young people’s mental health.  

This year’s theme is ‘Express Yourself’. Expressing yourself is about finding ways to share feelings, thoughts, or ideas, through creativity. This could be through art, music, writing and poetry, dance and drama, photography and film, and doing activities that make you feel good. It’s important to remember that being able to express yourself is not about being the best at something or putting on a performance for others. It is about finding a way to show who you are, and how you see the world, that can help you feel good about yourself. 

Take a look at this webpage to learn about all the ways you can get involved throughout the week at Ysgol Calon Cymru, and find out more about the week on their website: www.childrensmentalhealthweek.org.uk

Croeso

Yr wythnos hon (Dydd Llun 1af–Dydd Sul 7fed Chwefror) yw Wythnos Iechyd Meddwl Plant! Mae'r wythnos ymwybyddiaeth hon wedi'i chynnal yn flynyddol ers 2015 i dynnu sylw at bwysigrwydd iechyd meddwl pobl ifanc. 

Thema eleni yw ‘Express Yourself’. Mae mynegi eich hun yn ymwneud â dod o hyd i ffyrdd i rannu teimladau, meddyliau, neu syniadau, trwy greadigrwydd. Gallai hyn fod trwy gelf, cerddoriaeth, ysgrifennu a barddoniaeth, dawns a drama, ffotograffiaeth a ffilm, a gwneud gweithgareddau sy'n gwneud ichi deimlo'n dda. Mae'n bwysig cofio nad yw gallu mynegi eich hun yn ymwneud â bod y gorau ar rywbeth na chynnal perfformiad i eraill. Mae'n ymwneud â dod o hyd i ffordd i ddangos pwy ydych chi, a sut rydych chi'n gweld y byd, a all eich helpu i deimlo'n dda amdanoch chi'ch hun. 

Cymerwch gip ar y dudalen we hon i ddysgu am yr holl ffyrdd y gallwch chi gymryd rhan trwy gydol yr wythnos yn Ysgol Calon Cymru, a darganfod mwy am yr wythnos ar eu gwefan: www.childrensmentalhealthweek.org.uk

Inside Out Day

Wednesday 3rd February

On Wednesday 3rd February, Ysgol Calon Cymru will be taking part in ‘Inside Out Day’ as part of Children’s Mental Health Week 2021. Inside Out Day shows that how someone looks on the outside doesn’t necessarily reflect how they are truly feeling on the inside.

It’s OK not to be OK. No one is perfect, even though they may look so from the outside. The idea behind Inside Out Day is to turn your clothes inside out to get important conversations started. No one should be embarrassed about how they feel.

Diwrnod Tu Mewn Allan

Dydd Mercher 3ydd Chwefror

Ar dydd Mercher 3ydd o Chwefror, bydd Ysgol Calon Cymru yn cymryd rhan yn 'Diwrnod Tu Mewn Allan' fel rhan o Wythnos Iechyd Meddwl Plant 2021. Mae Diwrnod Tu Mewn Allan yn dangos nad yw sut mae rhywun yn edrych ar y tu allan o reidrwydd yn adlewyrchu sut maen nhw'n teimlo go iawn ar y tu mewn. 

Mae'n iawn peidio â bod yn iawn. Nid oes unrhyw un yn berffaith, er eu bod yn edrych felly o'r tu allan. Y syniad y tu ôl i Ddiwrnod Tu Mewn Allan yw troi eich dillad y tu mewn allan er mwyn cychwyn sgyrsiau pwysig. Ni ddylai unrhyw un deimlo cywilydd ynglŷn â sut maen nhw'n teimlo.

We’d like to invite all of our pupils send an image of themselves wearing an item of clothing inside out to office@caloncymru.powys.sch.uk. Your teachers and other school staff will be doing this too. All the photos we receive will be featured on this page.

To learn more about Inside Out Day, visit their website: www.insideoutday.org.uk

Hoffem wahodd pob un o'n disgyblion i anfon delwedd ohonyn nhw eu hunain yn gwisgo eitem o ddillad y tu mewn allan i office@caloncymru.powys.sch.uk. Bydd eich athrawon a staff eraill yr ysgol yn gwneud hyn hefyd. Bydd yr holl luniau a dderbyniwn i'w gweld ar y dudalen hon.

Self Harm

Most people self harm as a way of coping with problems, but this generally doesn’t work because the solution is short-term and the problems don’t go away. Self harm as a behaviour also brings up difficult emotions such as feeling ashamed or different and this could make you feel worse. It can become a habit that’s hard to break. The following resources are designed to help you if you sometimes feel distressed and are think about harming yourself.

Hunan-niweidio 

Mae'r rhan fwyaf o bobl yn hunan-niweidio fel ffordd o ymdopi â phroblemau, ond yn gyffredinol nid yw hyn yn gweithio oherwydd bod yr ateb yn un tymor byr ac nad yw'r problemau'n diflannu. Mae hunan-niweidio fel ymddygiad hefyd yn codi emosiynau anodd fel teimlo cywilydd neu wahanol a gallai hyn wneud i chi deimlo'n waeth. Gall ddod yn arfer sy'n anodd ei dorri. Mae'r adnoddau canlynol wedi'u cynllunio i'ch helpu os ydych weithiau'n teimlo'n ofidus ac yn meddwl am niweidio eich hun.
