Mae Chartwells wedi gofyn a fyddai gan unrhyw ysgolion ddiddordeb mewn disgyblion Blwyddyn 6 yn derbyn platiau, cyllyll a ffyrc, powlenni ac ati yn lle hambyrddau yn ystod y gwasanaeth cinio. Nod hyn yw helpu gyda’r pontio o Flwyddyn 6 i Flwyddyn 7 a’u helpu i baratoi ar gyfer y sector uwchradd. Os oes gan unrhyw ysgolion ddiddordeb, cysylltwch â GethinJones3@ynysmon.llyw.cymru
Chartwells have asked whether any schools would be interested in their Year 6 pupils using plates, cutlery, bowls, etc., rather than flight trays during lunch service. The aim of this is to help with the transition from Year 6 to Year 7 and to help prepare them for the secondary sector. If any schools are interested, please contact GethinJones3@ynysmon.llyw.cymru.

Rhaglen Rhybuddion Argyfwng y DU – Neges Brawf Genedlaethol y DU 23 Ebrill 2023: pecyn cymorth
Annwyl bawb,
Cynhelir prawf cenedlaethol ar system newydd Rhybuddion Argyfwng y DU ddydd Sul 23 Ebrill am 15:00: gall y darllediad fod yn weithredol tan 16:00 (dim ond unwaith y bydd ffonau'n cael y rhybudd).
Anfonir y rhybudd prawf i'r rhan fwyaf o ffonau symudol ledled y DU. Bydd dyfeisiau'n gwneud sain unigryw, tebyg i seiren am hyd at 10 eiliad, gan gynnwys ar ffonau sydd wedi'u newid i'r modd distaw.
Bydd ffonau hefyd yn dirgrynu ac yn arddangos neges am y prawf. Gallwch glywed enghraifft o sut fydd y prawf yn edrych ac yn swnio yn y fideo hwn (Saesneg yn unig).
Gwasanaeth gan lywodraeth y DU yw Rhybuddion Argyfwng a fydd yn eich rhybuddio os bydd perygl i fywyd gerllaw.
Mewn argyfwng, bydd eich ffôn symudol neu lechen yn derbyn rhybudd gyda chyngor ar sut i gadw'n ddiogel.

System Rhybuddion Argyfwng - YouTube
Detholiad o’r Cwestiynau Cyffredin:
Rwy'n dioddef cam-drin domestig ac mae angen cuddio fy ffôn. Sut galla i ei atal rhag canu?
Mae'n bosibl optio allan o'r system os oes angen i'ch ffôn aros yn guddiedig.
Ydw i'n gallu optio allan?
Mae Rhybuddion Argyfwng yn defnyddio sawl sianel ac mae'r gallu i optio i mewn neu allan yn cael ei bennu gan y math o sianel. Fodd bynnag, rydym yn argymell yn gryf nad yw pobl yn optio allan o'r gwasanaeth, gan mai'r bwriad yw eich rhybuddio pan fydd bywydau mewn perygl.
Optio Allan ar iPhone:
I optio allan, chwiliwch eich gosodiadau am 'rhybuddion argyfwng' a diffodd rhybuddion difrifol a rhybuddion argyfwng.
Os nad yw hyn yn gweithio, cysylltwch â gwneuthurwr eich dyfais.
Am gyngor pellach ewch i gov.uk/alerts/opt-out.
Optio Allan ar Ffonau Android a llechi:
I optio allan, chwiliwch eich gosodiadau am 'rhybuddion argyfwng' a diffodd rhybuddion difrifol a rhybuddion argyfwng.
Ar ddyfeisiau Huawei sy'n rhedeg EMUI 11 neu'n hŷn, chwiliwch am eich gosodiadau am 'rhybuddion argyfwng' a diffodd "Bygythiadau eithafol", "Bygythiadau difrifol" a "Dangos rhybuddion oren".
Os nad yw hyn yn gweithio, cysylltwch â gwneuthurwr eich dyfais.
Ym mha ieithoedd y darlledir negeseuon?
Saesneg fydd y brif iaith. Mae hefyd yn bosibl anfon negeseuon iaith ddeuol Cymraeg/Saesneg ar gyfer rhybuddion yng Nghymru. Byddwn yn parhau i ymchwilio i'r defnydd o'r dechnoleg ar gyfer negeseuon a anfonir mewn ieithoedd eraill er mwyn cynyddu effeithiolrwydd a chyrhaeddiad y gwasanaeth.
Mae gen i nam ar fy ngolwg neu fy nghlyw, a fydda i'n gwybod pan fydda i'n derbyn Rhybudd Argyfwng?
Byddwch. Bwriad Rhybuddion Argyfwng yw denu sylw. Mae hyn yn golygu bod dyfeisiau gallu 4G/5G (ar gyfer meini prawf gweler uchod) yn defnyddio sain uchel, tebyg i seiren fel nad yw pobl sydd â nam ar eu golwg yn cael eu heithrio. Bydd rhai ffonau hefyd yn darllen y neges ac yn gallu diystyru gosodiadau cyfaint. Mae Rhybuddion Argyfwng hefyd yn defnyddio math o ddirgryniad penodol. Dangosodd profion gyda defnyddwyr sydd â chymhorthion clyw fod y naws a gadwyd yn ôl yn cael ei ynganu ar gyfer yr unigolion hynny mewn ffordd unigryw. I'r rhai sydd â nam ar eu golwg bydd chwyddiad sgrin hefyd yn ei gwneud yn haws darllen Rhybudd Argyfwng.
Rwy'n gweithio gyda/rydw i'n rhiant /yn ofalwr i berson a allai gael ei boenydio gan y math yma o rybudd. Sut mae hyn wedi cael ei ystyried?
Fel rhan o'r ymgyrch gwybodaeth gyhoeddus, mae'r Llywodraeth yn gweithio'n agos gyda rhanddeiliaid i sicrhau bod y cymunedau a'r bobl sy'n fwy tebygol o gael eu gofidio gan y math hwn o rybudd yn cael gwybod am y gwasanaeth Rhybudd Argyfwng. Os gallwch, rydym hefyd yn eich cynghori i nodi pobl fregus sy'n byw gerllaw y gallwch roi gwybod iddynt am y gwasanaeth.
Gellir cyfeirio'r rhai sy'n agored i niwed hefyd at y wefan (gov.uk/alerts) am ragor o wybodaeth am Rybuddion Argyfwng, gan gynnwys beth sy'n digwydd pan fyddwch yn cael rhybudd, rhesymau y gallech dderbyn un a sut mae'n gweithio. Mae hefyd fideo esboniwr y gallant ei wylio i ddarganfod mwy.
A fydd y gwasanaeth newydd hwn yn rhoi rhai unigolion neu grwpiau dan anfantais?
Mae Rhybuddion Argyfwng yn un o nifer o offer sydd gan y Llywodraeth i gyfathrebu â'r cyhoedd am sefyllfaoedd argyfwng. Bydd y gwasanaeth yn un ffynhonnell o wybodaeth os bydd argyfwng sy'n bygwth bywyd. Bydd y gweithdrefnau presennol yn parhau - er enghraifft gwneir y rhai heb ffôn symudol yn ymwybodol o hyd drwy'r newyddion a'r gwasanaethau argyfwng lleol.
Yn rhan o'r ymgyrch gwybodaeth gyhoeddus, mae'r Llywodraeth yn gweithio'n agos gyda rhanddeiliaid i sicrhau y bydd y cymunedau a'r bobl hynny y mae’n llai tebygol y bydd ganddynt ffôn symudol yn gallu gweld y wybodaeth a ddosberthir trwy'r rhybuddion. Rydym yn eich cynghori i nodi rhywun sy'n byw yn agos atoch ac a all eich hysbysu o unrhyw Rybuddion Argyfwng sy'n cael eu hanfon.

UK Emergency Alerts Programme – UK National Test Message 23 April 2023
Dear all,
There will be a national test of the UK’s new Emergency Alerts system on Sunday 23 April at 15:00: the broadcast may be active until 16:00 (phones will only receive the alert once).
The test alert will be sent to most mobile phones across the UK. Devices will make a distinct, siren-like sound for up to 10 seconds, including on phones switched to silent mode.
Phones will also vibrate and display a message about the test. You can hear an example of what the test will look and sound like in this video (English only).
Emergency Alerts is a UK government service that will warn you if there’s a danger to life nearby.
In an emergency, your mobile phone or tablet will receive an alert with advice about how to stay safe.
About Emergency Alerts - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
This email has been sent a range of stakeholders across Wales and we ask that you share as widely as possible.
UK Government have only provided limited assets from their wider toolkit in Welsh, these can be found here: bilingual language (Welsh and English) assets link.
The wider UK Government toolkit has been broken down into useful sections set out below:
Transportation and motorists’ assets.
Vulnerable Audiences assets.
General 23 April UK wide test assets.
Q&A and Factsheets.
Social Media.
All toolkit assets link.
Any issues or questions please contact:
daniel.thomas@gov.wales.
sam.wallis@gov.wales.
Transportation and motorists’ assets:
Graphics.
Key messages.
Phone while driving.
Video explainer.
UK Government has only supplied these assets in English.
Vulnerable Audiences assets:
UK Government has only supplied these assets in English.
Here’s a BSL video what to expect as part of the test alert:
Emergency Alert System - YouTube
FAQ extract:
I am a domestic abuse victim and need to conceal my phone. How can I stop it from going off?
It is possible to opt out of the system if you need your phone to stay concealed.
Can I opt out?
Emergency Alerts use several channels and the ability to opt in or out is determined by the channel type. However, we strongly recommend that people do not opt out of the service, as it is intended to warn you when lives are in danger.
Opt Out iPhone:
To opt out, search your settings for ‘emergency alerts’ and turn off Severe alerts and Emergency alerts.
If this does not work, contact your device manufacturer.
For further advice go to gov.uk/alerts/opt-out.
Opt Out Android phones and tablets:
To opt out, search your settings for ‘emergency alerts’ and turn off Severe alerts and Emergency alerts.
On Huawei devices running EMUI 11 or older, search your settings for ‘emergency alerts’ and please turn off “Extreme threats”, “Severe threats” and “Show amber alerts”.
If this does not work, contact your device manufacturer.
What languages will messages be broadcast in?
The primary language will be English. Sending dual language English/Welsh messages is also possible for alerts in Wales. We will continue to investigate the use of the technology for messages sent in other languages to increase the effectiveness and reach of the service.
I am visually or hearing impaired, will I know when I receive an Emergency Alert?
Yes. Emergency Alerts are designed to attract attention. This means 4G/5G capable devices (for criteria see above) use a loud, siren-like sound so people with visual impairments are not excluded. Some phones will also read out the message and can override volume settings. Emergency Alerts also use a distinct vibration type. Testing with users who have hearing aids demonstrated that the reserved tone is pronounced for those individuals in a unique way. For those with visual impairments screen magnification will also facilitate reading an Emergency Alert.
I work with/am a parent of /am a carer of a person who may be distressed by this type of alert. How has this been taken into consideration?
As part of the public information campaign, the Government is working closely with stakeholders to ensure that the communities and people who are more likely to be distressed by this type of alert are made aware of the Emergency Alert service. If you can, we also advise you to identify vulnerable people living nearby who you can inform of the service.
Those who are vulnerable can also be directed to the website (gov.uk/alerts) for more information about Emergency Alerts, including what happens when you get an alert, reasons you might receive one and how it works. There is also an explainer video they can watch to find out more.
Will this new service disadvantage some individuals or groups?
Emergency Alerts are just one of many tools the Government has to communicate with the public about emergency situations. The service will be one source of information in the event of a life-threatening emergency. Existing procedures will still be in place- for example those without a mobile will still be made aware through the news and local emergency services.
As part of the public information campaign, the Government is working closely with stakeholders to ensure that those communities and people who are less likely to have a mobile will be able to access the information distributed through the alerts. We advise you to identify someone who lives near you who can inform you of any Emergency Alerts being sent.
