Mae hi\u2019n wythnos weithgareddau yn yr ysgol, a gan fod yr ysgol hefyd yn cael arolwg, mae 'na bob math o wersi fyddai byth yn cael eu dysgu fel arfer; pethau fel coginio pitsas a gwneud ffilm.

Y peth agosaf atyn nhw yw\u2019r gyfres Dyddiadur Dripsyn. Dim rhyfedd fod Liz Pichon wedi gwneud ffortiwn - mae\u2019r llyfrau wedi bod yn hynod o boblogaidd ac wedi ennill nifer o wobrau! Rydych yn adnabod llyfrau Twm Clwyd yn syth, gyda\u2019r llyfrau trwchus, y cloriau lliwgar fflachiog, a\u2019r dwdls prysur ar bob tudalen.

Dwi\u2019m yn meddwl mai fi (oedolyn hen!) yw\u2019r person gorau i adolygu\u2019r gyfres yma, ac mae\u2019n bur annhebyg y byddai\u2019n darllen mwy o Twm Clwyd."}, {"text_idx": "#000014", "text": "Fodd bynnag, er mod i\u2019n gweld y llyfrau\u2019n hollol boncyrs, dwi\u2019n gwybod o brofiad fel athro dosbarth, pa mor boblogaidd yw\u2019r llyfrau yma mewn gwirionedd gyda phlant o 7 oed ymlaen. Mae\u2019r hiwmor yn sicr o apelio at fechgyn, (ond gennod hefyd!) ac mae\u2019r prysurdeb a\u2019r dwdls di-ri yn cadw diddordeb y darllenwr. Yn sicr, mae unrhyw un sy\u2019n laru ar baragraffau o \u2018sgwennu yn mynd i hoffi steil y llyfr yma. Dio\u2019m yn teimlo fel bod 'na lawer o waith darllen ar bob tudalen.

The closest thing to them in my opinion is the Dyddiadur Dripsyn series (Diary of a Wimpy Kid). No wonder Liz Pichon has made a fortune \u2013 the books have been hugely popular and have won many awards!

I\u2019ve come to the conclusion that I, (an old and past-it adult!) am not the best person to review this series, and it's quite unlikely that I\u2019ll be reading another!"}, {"text_idx": "#000020", "text": "Despite these not being my kind of books (well, I\u2019m not the target audience, am I?) I know from experience as a teacher, how popular these books really are. Although they\u2019re bonkers, children aged 7+ absolutely love them and totally dig the humour. The jokes are sure to appeal to boys, (but also girls!) and the countless doodles keep the reader's interest. Anyone who hates pages upon pages of boring text will love the style of these books. It never feels like there\u2019s much reading work on any page."}, {"text_idx": "#000021", "text": "I would certainly recommend this book to children who are new to reading in Welsh because of the informal and uncomplicated style. It would be suitable for Welsh first language children of 7+, but suitable for older upper KS2 (yrs.5 & 6) if the readers were less confident in Welsh or learning. Some children may simply find these books to be too childish.
