Yr wythnos diwethaf aethom â "On Strike" gan David Carpanini i Ysgol Y Graig fel rhan o brosiect tair blynedd a ariennir gyda GEM (Grŵp Addysg mewn Amgueddfeydd). Fe wnaethon ni weithio gyda CC 2 a 3 i lefelu i fyny, gweithio ar "fannau diflannu" ac edrych ar Streic y Glowyr 1984/85. Diolch i Ysgol Y Graig am yr holl waith gwych y mae'r disgyblion wedi'i gynhyrchu!

_____________________
🖼🛤🖌🎨Last week we took “On Strike” by David Carpanini to Ysgol Y Graig as part of a funded three year project with (Group for Education in Museums). We worked with PS 2 and 3 to level up working on “vanishing points” and look at the 1984/85 Miners Strike. Diolch to Ysgol Y Graig for all of the fantastic work the pupils have produced!

Camwch i mewn i ofod wedi'i siapio gan onestrwydd, gwytnwch a phrofiad byw, wrth i Natalie rannu'r straeon y tu ôl i'w gwaith - straeon am fenywod dosbarth gweithiol, dygnwch, anweledigrwydd, a chwilio am urddas a chydnabyddiaeth.

💬 Cyfle prin i siarad yn uniongyrchol â'r artist
