Beth mae ein hathrawon yn ei ddweud?โ Mae'r Wobr yn gynhwysol iawn a difyr iawn โ doedd yr un oโr myfyrwyr yn teimlo wediโu gadael allan.โ I'n myfyrwyr ni, mae cymryd rhan yn y gystadleuaeth hon wedi eu hysbrydoli, eu hysgogi ac wedi rhoi hwb i'w hyder.โ Roedd pawb yn yr adran yn dwlu ar yr adnoddau. โDโyn ni ddim wedi cael un ymateb negyddol. โDoeddwn i erioed wedi gwneud barddoniaeth efo Blwyddyn 7 o'r blaen. Allwn i ddim ddychmygu sut byddai'n gweithio. Bellach, dw iโn defnyddio adnoddau Anthea Bell i wneud hyn bob blwyddyn, ac mae pawb wrth eu boddau! โGydaโch adnoddau sydd mor ddiddorol ac wedi'u cynllunioโn dda... rwyโn teimlo nad disgyblion Blwyddyn 8 sydd gen i, ond myfyrwyr Chweched Dosbarth.โ

Anthea Bell Prize for Young Translators | What do teachers say? | Engaging with this competition has been an inspirational, motivational โ and confidence-boosting experience for our students. | It's just a great initiative in every way. It opens the world of languages to students beyond the confines of examination syllabi. | The Prize is very inclusive and engaging โ no student felt excluded. | With the well-planned and engaging resources...
