Gan edrych ar eich rhestr –
Beth gallech ailgylchu?
Beth gallech ail ddefnyddio?
Sut gallech leihau faint o

They collect their water from the
same place as the animals drink – this
can cause diseases to spread
Mae anifeiliaid yn yfed o’r un lle a
mae’r ysgol yn casglu dŵr – mae hyn yn
achosi afeichydon i ledu.
The pupils have to wash their own clothes in small
buckets – no water is wasted!
Mae’n rhaid i’r disgyblion olchi dillad mewn pedyll
bach – does dim dŵr yn cael ei wastraffu!
In the dry season (between November and
February) lessons have to be stopped for everyone
to collect water from the river. The school had to
close last year when the river ran dry.
Yn y tymor sych (rhwng Tachwedd a Chwefror)
roedd yn rhaid i ddisgyblion fynd i gasglu dŵr yn
hytrach na mynd i wersi. Bu’n rhaid i’r ysgol gau
blwyddyn diwethaf pan roedd yr afon yn sych.
