Gwybodaeth Allweddol / Key Information
'My School App'
Ein bwriad yw sicrhau sianeli cyfathrebu cadarn er mwyn sicrhau bod rhieni yn derbyn gwybodaeth yn amserol am ddigwyddiadau a materion addysgol. Rydym wedi buddsoddi yn yr ap 'MySchoolApp' a gwelwyd nifer o rieni yn ymrwymo i'r cyfrwng cyfathrebu. Dyma yw ein sianel cyfathrebu gyda rhieni sy'n caniatau i'r staff rhannu dyddiadau allweddol, newyddion a negeseuon allweddol gyda chymuned yr ysgol. Gwerthfawrogom pe bai pob rhiant yn ymrwymo i'r dull yma o gyfathrebu. Pe bai argyfwng ysgol, dyma'r cyfrwng byddwn yn ei ddefnyddio i gyfathrebu gyda rhieni a staff. Ein bwriad yw gwneud defnydd llawn o'r ap felly anogaf i bob rhiant ddefnyddio'r ap. Bydd rhaid gwneud cais drwy ebost am fynediad i'r ap ac mae cymorth ar gael o'r swyddfa ar ddefnydd yr ap pe bai angen.
Our intention has been to ensure robust communication channels to ensure that parents receive timely information about events and educational issues. We have invested in the 'MySchoolApp' app and have seen the majority of parents commit to this medium of communication. This is our communication channel with parents which allows the staff to share key dates, news and key messages with the school community. We would appreciate it if all parents would commit to this method of communication. If there is a school emergency, this is the medium we would use to communicate with parents and staff. Our intention is to make full use of the app so I encourage all parents to use the app if you are not currently doing so. An application must be made by email for access to the app and help is available from the office on the download and use of the app if needed.

Colli Ysgol Colli Cyfle / Miss School Miss Out
Mae pob diwrnod ysgol yn bwysig. Mae pob diwrnod a gollir yn ei gwneud hi'n anoddach dal i fyny, a gall arwain at gyflawniadau is o ran darllen, ysgrifennu a rhifedd. Mae pob diwrnod y mae plant a phobl ifanc yn ei golli yn effeithio ar eu gallu i wneud cysylltiadau cymdeithasol pwysig a chyfeillgarwch ag eraill. Mae llawer o resymau pam y dylai plentyn fynd i'r ysgol, sef: Datblygu'n ddysgwyr uchelgeisiol, galluog sy’n barod i ddysgu drwy gydol eu hoes. Bod yn gyfranwyr mentrus, creadigol sy’n barod i chwarae eu rhan yn llawn yn eu bywyd a’u gwaith. Datblygu'n ddinasyddion egwyddorol, gwybodus yng Nghymru a'r byd. Bod yn unigolion iach, hyderus sy’n barod i fyw bywyd cyflawn fel aelodau gwerthfawr o gymdeithas. Mae presenoldeb rhagorol yn yr ysgol yn caniatáu i'n plant a'n pobl ifanc gael y dechrau gorau posibl mewn bywyd. Os nad yw eich plentyn yn mynd i'r ysgol yn rheolaidd, efallai y bydd pryderon ynghylch materion diogelu yn cael eu codi am eu lles a'u cynnydd.

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.

Ein thema y tymor hwn yw ‘Helo, Hola, Bonjour’ a rydym wedi cael hanner tymor brysur iawn yn archwilio gwahanol fathau o drafnidiaeth. Fe wnaethon edrych ar ba drafnidiaeth sy'n hedfan, gyrru ac arnofio a archwilio pa mor bell mae car tegan yn teithio. Rydym wedi creu bws, trên, awyren, fan a fferi allan o bapur.

Our role play area has been turned into a holiday agency where we are able to explore the different places to go on holiday around the world. We have also looked at what things we would need to put in our suitcases to go on holiday. We have enjoyed playing with our brand-new mud kitchen where we are able to make delicious cakes and meals out of mud, sticks, stones and natural ingredients. We had such a great time on our trip and were able to see all the different types of transport. We have also enjoyed creating a new display board in the classroom.

After learning about the main features of a poster and looking at good examples, pupils went on to plan and write a poster about Llanboidy Fair, Owain Glyndŵr day or the Welsh migrating to Patagonia in 1865 to create a new Welsh colony. In our Mathematic lessons we have been using and developing our number skills. They have been learning about place value and that it helps us calculate the value of a digit or quantity and its position. They have read and written numbers of various sizes, compared and sorted numbers and have also moved on to rounding. In Science the pupils have learned and discovered more about different materials we use daily. During our Physical Education lessons pupils have had the opportunity to practice and develop their rugby and netball skills. Pupils have also been fortunate to receive French sessions again this year. The children have learnt how to greet people, communicate how they feel, describe the weather, note their age, numbers 0-20 and even various foods in French. Thank you Madame Davies for such fun and engaging sessions - Merci!

Ein thema y tymor yma yw ‘Helo, Hola, Bonjour’. Yn ystod y hanner tymor mae disgyblion o flynyddoedd 3, 4, 5 a 6 wedi ymgymryd mewn thasgau a heriau amrywiol yn dilyn ein is-thema ‘Cymru’. Cawsant y cyfle i greu poster am yr ysgol, datrys problemau adio a thynnu, codio ar y thema Cymru, efelychu celf Rhiannon Roberts, dysgu am elfennau a nodweddion Eglwys a creu celf eiriau am Gymru. / This term’s theme is ‘Helo, Hola, Bonjour’.

Gwener Gwyllt / Wild Friday
Yn ystod ein gwersi Gwener Gwyllt mae’r disgyblion wedi bod yn tacluso ac yn cymoni’r ardd. Bum yn brysur yn creu torchau Nadolig naturiol gan ddefnyddio’r helyg maent wedi’i dorri o’r ardd. Ar ôl creu’r torchau nadolig maent wedi dysgu am hanes y torch, ei ystyr, y wahanol fathau o dorch, ysgrifennu cyfarwyddiadau a ystyried sut hoffent addurno ei torch Nadolig ar ôl hanner tymor.
During our Gwener Gwyllt lessons pupils have been tidying and sorting the garden. They have also been busy creating natural Christmas wreaths using the willow they have cut from the garden. After creating their Christmas wreaths, they have learned about the history of the wreath, its meaning, the different types of wreaths, wrote instructions and considered how they would like to decorate them. We look forward to decorate our Christmas wreaths after half term.
