Llyfr cofnodion Ysgol Llangynfelyn

Llangynfelyn school record book

Dyma detholiad allan o lyfrau cofnodion Ysgol Llangynfelyn. The following are extracts from the Llangynfelyn school record book.

1876, Aug. 4 Friday. A great number of children are in the measles and therefore the attendance is still further reduced to 47.6. On account of this, and for other reasons, the School was this day broken up for the Summer Vacation.
1876, Oct. 17 Thursday. After dismissing the Children this afternoon I caught a boy creating a disturbance at the door - a very common practice - and thereby interrupting me in the instruction of the Pupil Teachers. I brought the offender into the Schoolroom intending to confine him until the P. Teachers were dismissed. In about a quarter of an hour the mother of the boy appeared at the door armed with an axe and for about twenty minutes she battered the door with such violence that ultimately the lock gave way. As she threatened my life I thought it prudent to let the boy go and thus perhaps I saved my neck.
1876, Nov. 2 Thursday. The woman - Mary Morgan - referred to on page 162 [17 Oct. 1876] was this day convicted at the Trerddol Petty Sessions and ordered to pay 10/- damages and costs. She also received a reprimanding and had to make a distinct promise never again to repeat the offence.

1885, Jan. 20A half-holiday was given this afternoon to allow the School Children attend the funeral of Margaret Morris, the centenarian, who died on Thursday last the 15th instant, at Tanyrallt.
