Yn ddiweddar, ymunais â Chadeirydd a Phrif Swyddog Gweithredol Undeb Rygbi Cymru i lansio cystadleuaeth ysgrifennu creadigol dwyieithog i blant, sy’n dwyn y teitl ‘Storïau Rygbi’. Cawsom help gan blant Ysgol Gynradd Adamsdown i lansio’r gystadleuaeth. Yr her yw ysgrifennu cerddi, storïau a storïau digidol am rygbi. Caiff y goreuon eu dewis gan banel o feirniaid a’u cyhoeddi ym mis Medi. Mae ysgrifennu creadigol yn gallu datblygu llythrennedd a llythrennedd digidol - mae’n ffordd o ddatblygu’r dychymyg ac annog plant a phobl ifanc i ddysgu mwy am y byd sydd o’u cwmpas. Bydd llyfrgelloedd, amgueddfeydd ac archifau ledled Cymru yn cynnal gweithgareddau i annog plant a phobl ifanc rhwng 7 a 16 oed i gymryd rhan. Rwyf i’n edrych ymlaen yn arw at glywed am brofiadau rygbi plant a phobl ifanc hyn a chlywed am rôl rygbi yn eu bywydau. Gallwch gael rhagor o wybodaeth o www.storiaurygbi.cymru.
I recently joined the Chair and CEO of the WRU in launching a bilingual creative writing competition for children, ‘Rugby Stories’. Children from Adamsdown Primary School helped us unveil the challenge to write poems, stories and digital stories about rugby. The competition will be judged by a panel and the winners announced in September. Creative writing has a tremendous power to develop literacy and digital literacy, letting the imagination grow and encouraging children and young people to learn more about the world around them. Our libraries, museums and archives services across Wales will be putting on activities to encourage children and young people between 7 and 16 to get involved, and I look forward to seeing a fantastic range of experiences, whether about playing, watching or expressing the importance of rugby in their lives.
