I want to go to school
It sounds like a great place!

Please can I go back to Mum?

Singing (All Year Groups)
Mae bys Meri Ann wedi brifo
A Dafydd y gwas ddim yn iach,
Mae’r baban yn y crud yn crio,
A’r gath wedi sgrapo Joni bach.
Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tan,
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr
A’r gath wedi sgrapo Joni bach.
