Almost 1000 year six pupils from Torfaen schools have taken
part in the Crucial Crew, an annual event that teaches children about personal
safety, sustainability, recycling and other skills that will be useful as they
transition into secondary school.
Pupils took part in a series of workshops from agencies such as Torfaen
council’s waste and road safety teams, Fly Tipping Action Wales, South Wales
Fire and Rescue, Food Standards Agency Wales, Network Rail, Western Power,
Sight Cymru, RNLI, The Samaritans, and the Dogs Trust.
The sessions aim to encourage pupils to make better-informed choices, and
reinforce key safety messages at a crucial time in their lives.
Councillor Fiona Cross, executive member for the environment, said: "Year
six children are coming to the end of their primary education and will start to
be given much more responsibility for themselves and their own safety.
“I am particularly pleased to see these children being engaged with recycling.
It is at this age that they will start to form habits that will stay with them
for the rest of their lives and if we can encourage them to be passionate about
recycling now the benefits will last for years to come.”
The Crucial Crew is a multi-agency event led by RESOLVE it, and Torfaen’s road
safety team. Crucial Crew events are aimed at 10-12 year olds and are delivered
to over 13,000 children across south Wales every year.

Mae dros 1000 o ddisgyblion blwyddyn chwech o ysgolion
Torfaen wedi cymryd rhan yn y Criw Craff, digwyddiad blynyddol sy’n dysgu’r
plant am ddiogelwch personol, cynaliadwyedd, ailgylchu a sgiliau eraill a fydd
yn ddefnyddiol wrth iddyn nhw symud i’r ysgol uwchradd.
Cymerodd y disgyblion rhan mewn cyfres o weithdai gydag asiantaethau fel timau
gwastraff a diogelwch ar y ffyrdd cyngor Torfaen, Taclo Tipio Cymru, Gwasanaeth
Tân ac Achub De Cymru, yr Asiantaeth Safonau Bwyd, Network Rail, Western Power,
Sight Cymru, RNLI, Y Samariaid, a’r Ymddiriedolaeth Cŵn.
Amcan y sesiynau yw annog disgyblion i wneud dewisiadau gwell ar sail
gwybodaeth, ac ategu negeseuon diogelwch allweddol ar adeg dyngedfennol yn eu
bywydau.
Dywedodd y Cynghorydd Fiona Cross, yr aelod gweithredol dros yr amgylchedd:
"Mae plant blwyddyn chwech yn dod at ddiwedd eu haddysg gynradd a byddan
nhw’n dechrau cael mwy o gyfrifoldeb am eu hunain a’u diogelwch.
“Rydw i’n arbennig o falch o weld y plant yma’n ymwneud ag ailgylchu. Ar
yr oedran yma maen nhw’n dechrau mynd i arferion a fydd yn aros gyda nhw am
weddill eu bywydau ac os allwn ni eu hannog i fod yn angerddol ynglŷn ag
ailgylchu nawr bydd y buddion yn parhau am flynyddoedd i ddod.”
Digwyddiad aml-asiantaeth yw’r Criw Craff a arweinir gan RESOLVE it, a thîm
diogelwch ffyrdd Torfaen. Anelir digwyddiadau Criw Craff at blant 10-12 oed ac
mae dros 13,000 o blant ar draws de Cymru yn cymryd rhan bob blwyddyn.
