Llais Beca Cylchlythyr Ysgol Beca

Not attending school regularly, a day here or there doesn’t seem like much, but absences add up. Two days a month is equal to 4 weeks a year which is over one year of lost learning from Year 1 to Year 13. Every school day counts, each day missed makes it harder to catch up, and can lead to lower achievements in reading, writing and numeracy. Every day missed impacts on children and young people’s ability to make important social connections and friendships. There are lots of reasons why a child should attend school: To develop as ambitious, capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives. To become enterprising, creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work. To mature as ethical, well-informed citizens of Wales and the world. To become healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society. Excellent attendance at school allows a child to have the best possible start in life. If your child does not attend school regularly, safeguarding concerns may be raised about their welfare and progress.

DOSBARTHIADAU / CLASSES

Dosbarth Carn Gyfrwy

Dechreuad da i'r flwyddyn academaidd hon, mae wedi bod yn hanner tymor prysur, llawn gweithgareddau amrywiol ac wedi bod yn gyfle gwych i ddod i adnabod y plant ac iddyn nhw ddod i fy adnabod i fel athrawes. Rydym wedi croesawi disgyblion newydd i'n plith hefyd ac rwy'n falch i ddweud eu bod wedi setlo yn nosbarth Carn Gyfrwy.

Mae'r disgyblion wedi bod yn ymgymryd âg amrywiaeth o weithgareddau i ddatblygu eu sgiliau Mathemateg a Rhifedd gan gynnwys cyfri eitemau gwahanol, cysylltu'r rhif cywir gyda'r numicon cywir, ffurfio rhifau rhwng 0 a 10. Mae'r disgyblion wedi bod yn datblygu eu sgiliau mathemateg pen drwy gymryd rhan yn y gêm Pwmpen rhwng sesiynnau mathemateg a rhifedd. Hyfryd yw gweld fod pawb wedi gwneud cynnydd ac i weld yn mwynhau'r sesiynnau yma.

Un o'r storïau rydym wedi bod yn canolbwyntio arno yn ystod yr hanner tymor hwn yw 'Aeth Mam-gu i'r Farchnad'. Mae'r disgyblion wedi bod yn disgrifio eu hoff ran nhw o'r stori, creu poster ar J2E i arddangos y rhan yma o'r stori a cydweithio i ddysgu'r stori ar ffurf Pie Corbet.

Ein thema tymor yma oedd 'Helo, Hola, Bonjour'. Rydym wedi bod yn edrych ar fwydydd gwahanol ac wedi bod yn cynnal sesiynnau coginio gyda'r plant. Maent wedi mwynhau gweithio fel tîm i goginio Crymbl Mwyar Duon a Salsa. Hyfryd oedd gweld y plant yn blasu bwydydd gwahanol ac yn lleisio eu barn ar flas y bwyd yma. Mae'r disgyblion wedi bod yn cydweithio gyda Miss Carey i greu toes eu hunain er mwyn datblygu anibyniaeth ac yna wedi defnyddio'r toes yma i greu amrywiaeth o fwydydd gwahanol ar draws y byd.

Wrth ddatblygu'r disgyblion i fod yn gyfranwyr mentrus, creadigol maent wedi cael y cyfle i berfformio yng Nghapel Nebo fel rhan o'r Gwasanaeth Diolchgarwch. Hyfryd oedd gweld pob plentyn yn mwynhau perfformio ac yn datblygu eu sgiliau perfformio a hunan hyder. Rydym hefyd wedi bod yn brysur yn ymgymryd mewn amrywiaeth o weithgareddau Llun Llanast gwahanol gan gynnwys disgyblion y Cylch meithrin lleol yn ein gweithgareddau. Mae'r disgyblion wedi bod yn archwilio eu hamgylchedd, peintio gan ddefnyddio mwd, defnyddio sialc i ddatblygu eu geirfa a cyfri gan ddefnyddio brigau amrywiol. Rydym hefyd wedi bod yn defnydido'r dail amrywiol rydym wedi eu casglu i greu lluniau gwahanol o'r Hydref yn y dosbarth i ddatblygu sgiliau creadigol y disgyblion.

Mae'r disgyblion wedi cael amryw o gyfleoedd gwahanol i ymgymryd mewn gweithgareddau allgyrsiol gan gynnwys sesiwn Clocsio gyda Betsan Campbell, Gwener Gwenu, Diwrnod Iechyd Meddwl y Byd, Clwb Digidol gyda Mr Batcup a Clwb Perfformio gyda Miss Dafydd. Mae wedi bod yn bleser eu gweld yn taflu eu hunain i mewn i'r gweithgareddau yma a mwynhau siarad amdanynt yn y dosbarth.

Diolch yn fawr i'r plant i gyd am eu holl waith caled dros yr hanner tymor hwn, mae wedi bod yn bleser eu dysgu. Diolch yn fawr i'r rhieni i gyd am bob cefnogaeth. Edrychwn ymlaen nawr at yr hanner tymor nesaf yn arwain at y Nadolig. Mwynhewch yr hanner tymor. Miss Dafydd a Miss Carey.

It has been a good start to this academic year, it's been a busy half term, full of varied activities and has been a great opportunity to get to know the kids and for them to get to know me as a teacher. We have welcomed new pupils and I'm glad to say that they have settled in well in Carn Gyfrwy classroom.

The pupils have been undertaking a variety of activities to develop their Maths and Numeracy skills including counting different items, associating the correct number with the correct numicon and forming numbers between 0 and 10. The pupils have been developing their maths mental skills by taking part in the Pwmpen game. It's lovely to see that everyone has made progress and to see them enjoying these sessions.

One of the stories we've been focusing on during this half term is 'Aeth Mam-gu i'r Farchnad' (Grandma Went to the Market). The pupils have been describing their favourite part of the story, creating a poster on J2E to showcase this part of the story and working together to learn the story in the form of a Pie Corbet.

Our theme this season was 'Hello, Hola, Bonjour'. We have been looking at different foods and have been running cooking sessions with the children. They have enjoyed working as a team to cook Blackberry Crumble and Salsa. It was wonderful to see the children tasting different foods and voicing their opinions on the taste of this food. The pupils have been collaborating with Miss Carey to create their own play dough to develop an independency and have then used this play dough to create a variety of different foods from around the world.

We have been developing the pupils into enterprising, creative contributors, they have had the opportunity to perform at Nebo Chapel as part of the Thanksgiving Service. It was a delight to see each child enjoying performing and developing their performance skills and self-confidence. We have also been busy undertaking a variety of different Messy Mondays and also including local nursery pupils in our activities. Pupils have been exploring their surroundings, painting using mud, using chalk to develop their vocabulary and counting using various twigs. We have also been devouring the various leaves we have collected to create different pictures of Autumn in class to develop the pupils' creative skills.

The pupils have had a variety of different opportunities to undertake extra-curricular activities including a Clog dancing session with Betsan Campbell, Fantastic Friday, World Mental Health Day, Digital Club with Mr Batcup and Performance Club with Miss Dafydd. It's been a pleasure to see them throw themselves into these activities and enjoy talking about them in class.

Thank you so much to all the children for all their hard work over this half term, it has been a pleasure to teach them. Many thanks to all the parents for all the support. We now look forward to the next half term leading up to Christmas. Enjoy the half term. Miss Dafydd and Miss Carey.

Dosbarth Cwm Cerwyn

Yn ystod yr hanner tymor yma rydym wedi cael ystod eang o brofiadau a gwir wedi mwynhau ein hamser yn nosbarth Cwm Cerwyn! Rydym wedi croesawu aelodau newydd o flwyddyn 3 ac mae pawb wedi setlo’n dda. Cymerom ni ran mewn gwersi Adobe Byw wedi selio ar Ddiwrnod Rhyngwladol Iechyd Meddwl ac enillom dystysgrifau am ein sgiliau digidol. Roeddwn hefyd yn ffodus iawn i ddysgu sgiliau achub bywyd hollbwysig o Wasanaeth Ambiwlans Cymru yn ystod gwers Shoctober. Fe wnaeth Mrs Hawking hefyd ein dysgu am straeon o'r Testament Newydd fel rhan o’r hanner tymor yma.

Yn y dosbarth roeddwn wedi mwynhau defnyddio sgiliau mathemategol ymarferol tu allan yn ystod Gwener Gwyllt a dysgu awyr agored. Fe gasglom ddata ar led dail gwahanol, hyd frigau amrywiol a mathau o goed gwahanol yn ein hardal allanol ni. Ymchwiliom ni i hanes pobl dduon yng Nghymru a dysgu am bobl arwyddocaol fel Rosa Parks fel rhan o mis hanes pobl duon. Fe ddathlom ni diwrnod Shwmae Sumae ac ymfalchïo yn ein Cymreictod hefyd! Fe dyfodd digon o lysiau yn ein hardal allanol er mwyn i ni i goginio siytni gan ddilyn rysáit ein hunain! Roedd y Cogurdd a Phoburdd hefyd yn llwyddiannus lle wnaeth pawb fwynhau coginio wrap a myffin.

Rydym wedi mwynhau’r hanner tymor yma ac yn edrych ymlaen at hanner tymor y Nadolig.
