Enillwyr y Daith Drên Odidog
Yn ôl yn 2021, fe wnaethom herio plant ysgol Cymru a’r gororau i roi hunaniaeth falch i dros 150 o drenau newydd sbon a oedd yn ymuno â’n fflyd. Gofynnom iddynt lunio enwau ar gyfer ein trenau newydd, yn seiliedig naill ai ar le go iawn, tirnod neu ffigwr chwedlonol sy'n gysylltiedig â Chymru a'i gororau. Gofynnwyd hefyd am esboniad creadigol o pam y dewiswyd yr enw, megis paentiad neu lun, cerdd neu stori fer.
Ceiliog Coch Rhiwabon/Ruabon Ruby Rooster
Enwyd gan Ruby | Ysgol Gynradd Oxon CE | Canolbarth Cymru | Enillydd Rhanbarthol: Canolbarth Cymru a'r Gororau
I was eating my cornflakes and I wondered why they have a rooster on the box. I asked my Dad and we looked on the internet. Here is what we found. There was a lady called Nansi Richards. She was born is a place called Oswestry. She went to America to play the harp and met a man called Will Kellogg. She told him that his name sounded like the Welsh name for a rooster. The Welsh word for rooster is ceiliog. Mr Kellogg liked this and it gave him an idea. He decided to put a rooster on every box of cornflakes he made. He even used the colours of the Welsh flag, red, white and green for the rooster.
I chose the name Ruabon Ruby Rooster because Ruabon is on the same line as Oswestry where Nansi was born. Ruby is the colour of the top of the rooster and it is my name too. The rooster will now always remind me of Wales and this story. When I grow up I want to be a train driver and maybe I will get to drive the Ruabon Ruby Rooster.
