93.12%

Presenoldeb Tymor y Gwanwyn 2025 Spring Term Attendance (Targed/Target 95%)

92.89%

Yn ein hysgol ni, mae presenoldeb prydlon yn allweddol i sicrhau bod pob plentyn yn cael budd llawn o’i addysg. Mae cyrraedd ar amser nid yn unig yn helpu'ch plentyn i ddechrau'r diwrnod yn gadarnhaol ond hefyd yn tarfu cyn lleied â phosibl ar ddysgu. Sylwch ei bod yn ddyletswydd arnom i hysbysu rhieni a gofalwyr os yw presenoldeb disgybl yn isel neu os yw'n gyson hwyr, oherwydd gallai hyn arwain at anfon llythyr i fynychu cyfarfod presenoldeb i wella cyfraddau presenoldeb a phrydlondeb. Mae eich cydweithrediad yn hanfodol i helpu ein holl ddisgyblion i ffynnu.

At our school, punctual attendance is key to ensuring every child receives the full benefit of their education. Arriving on time not only helps your child start the day positively but also minimises disruption to learning. Please note that it is our duty to notify parents and carers if a pupil's attendance is low or if they are consistently late, as this may lead to the issuance of a letter to attend an attendance meeting to improve attendance and punctuality rates. Your cooperation is essential in helping all our pupils thrive.

Yn dilyn gwyliau’r Pasg, bydd llythyrau presenoldeb yn cael eu hanfon at rieni a gofalwyr i’w hysbysu o gyfraddau presenoldeb presennol eu plentyn/plant. Bydd y llythyrau hyn yn cynnwys crynodeb cyffredinol o bresenoldeb, ac, os yw’r gyfradd presenoldeb yn syrthio o dan y trothwy disgwyliedig, mae’n bosibl y rhoddir Hysbysiad Gwella Presenoldeb hefyd, yn unol â chanllawiau Cyngor Sir Gaerfyrddin. Diolch am eich cefnogaeth barhaus i hybu presenoldeb rheolaidd a phrydlon.

Following the Easter break, attendance letters will be sent out to inform parents and carers of their child(ren)’s current attendance rates. These letters will include a general attendance summary, and in cases where attendance falls below the expected threshold, an Attendance Improvement Notice may also be issued, in line with Carmarthenshire County Council guidelines. We appreciate your support in promoting regular and punctual attendance.

Diogelu / Safeguarding

Yn Ysgol Beca, mae diogelu yn flaenoriaeth sylfaenol, gan sicrhau diogelwch a lles pob disgybl. Mae ein polisi diogelu yn amlinellu cyfrifoldebau’r ysgol, rhieni, disgyblion a’r gymuned ehangach wrth greu amgylchedd diogel. Rydym yn cydnabod bod diogelu yn ymdrech ar y cyd. Rôl yr Ysgol: Mae ein staff wedi’u hyfforddi i adnabod ac ymateb i arwyddion o gam-drin neu esgeulustod, gan ddilyn gweithdrefnau sefydledig i warchod plant. Rydym yn cynnal awyrgylch agored a chefnogol lle mae disgyblion yn teimlo’n ddiogel i fynegi eu pryderon. Rôl Rhieni: Anogir rhieni i gymryd rhan weithredol yn yr ysgol, gan feithrin cyfathrebu agored i gefnogi lles eu plant. Rydym yn annog rhieni i rannu unrhyw bryderon am ddiogelwch neu les eu plentyn yn brydlon. Rôl Disgyblion: Rydym yn addysgu disgyblion am ddiogelwch personol a phwysigrwydd siarad allan os ydynt yn teimlo'n anghyfforddus neu dan fygythiad. Mae grymuso plant i ddeall diogelu yn cyfrannu at eu diogelwch eu hunain a diogelwch eu cyfoedion. Rôl y Gymuned: Mae’r gymuned ehangach yn chwarae rhan hanfodol wrth ddiogelu drwy aros yn wyliadwrus a rhoi gwybod am unrhyw bryderon ynghylch lles plentyn.

Os oes gan rieni unrhyw bryderon ynghylch diogelu, anogir nhw i gysylltu'n uniongyrchol â'r Uwch Swyddog Dynodedig ar gyfer diogelu plant yn yr ysgol, Mr. Mark Bowen. Mae ein polisi diogelu, sydd wedi’i alinio â chanllawiau Cyngor Sir Gaerfyrddin a Llywodraeth Cymru, yn cael ei adolygu’n flynyddol i sicrhau ei effeithiolrwydd a’i berthnasedd. Mae copi o’r polisi ar gael ar wefan yr ysgol neu ar gais gan swyddfa’r ysgol. Gyda’n gilydd, trwy gydweithio a chyfathrebu agored, rydym yn ymdrechu i gynnal amgylchedd diogel a gofalgar i’n holl ddisgyblion.

At Ysgol Beca, safeguarding is a fundamental priority, ensuring the safety and well-being of every pupil. Our safeguarding policy outlines the responsibilities of the school, parents, pupils, and the wider community in creating a secure environment. We recognise that safeguarding is a collective effort. School's Role: Our staff are trained to identify and respond to signs of abuse or neglect, adhering to established procedures to protect children. We maintain an open and supportive atmosphere where pupils feel safe to express concerns. Parents' Role: Parents are encouraged to engage actively with the school, fostering open communication to support their children's welfare. We urge parents to share any concerns regarding their child's safety or well-being promptly. Pupils' Role: We educate pupils about personal safety and the importance of speaking up if they feel uncomfortable or threatened. Empowering children to understand safeguarding contributes to their own protection and that of their peers. Community's Role: The broader community plays a vital part in safeguarding by remaining vigilant and reporting any concerns about a child's welfare.

If parents have any safeguarding concerns, they are encouraged to contact the school's Designated Senior Person for child protection, Mr. Mark Bowen, directly. Our safeguarding policy, aligned with guidance from Carmarthenshire County Council and the Welsh Government, is reviewed annually to ensure its effectiveness and relevance. A copy of the policy is available on our school website or upon request from the school office. Together, through collaboration and open dialogue, we strive to maintain a safe and nurturing environment for all our pupils.

Gweithgareddau Ysgol Gyfan / Whole School Activities

Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant

Ar ddechrau’r hanner tymor hwn, fe wnaethom ddathlu Dydd Gwyl Dewi yn yr ysgol. Cafodd y disgyblion gyfle i arddangos eu talentau amrywiol – canu, llefaru, chwarae offerynnau. Daeth y gymuned mewn i’r ysgol i fwynhau’r talent ac fe welwyd fod sgiliau perfformio’r disgyblion yn datblygu hefyd.

At the start of this half term, we celebrated St David's Day at school. The pupils had the opportunity to display their various talents - singing, speaking, playing instruments. The community came into the school to enjoy the talent and it was seen that the pupils' performance skills were also developing.

Eisteddford yr Urdd / Urdd Eisteddfod

Eisteddfod yr Urdd – Cylch, Sir, Dawns ac Offerynnol - Roedd llawer o disgyblion yr ysgol wedi penderfynu cystadlu yn Eisteddfod yr Urdd eleni.

Fe wnaeth pob disgybl roi 100% i’w perfformiadau ac rydym yn edrych ymlaen i weld y Dawnsio Gwerin, Leo ar yr unawd Chwythbrennau a Hunnibelle yn canu unawd cerdd dant yn Parc Margam yn yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol ym mis Mai.

Urdd Eisteddfod – Local, County, Dancing and Instrumental - Many of the school's pupils had decided to compete in this year's Urdd Eisteddfod. A variety of pupils were seen taking part in different competitions - instrumental ensemble, woodwind soloists, folk dancing, soloists, speakers, traditional Welsh singing soloists, drama group, recitation party and unison singing group. All pupils gave 100% to their performances and we are looking forward to seeing the Folk Dancing group, Leo doing his Clarinet solo and Hunnibelle singing traditional Welsh singing solo in Margam Park at the National Eisteddfod in May.

Merched y Wawr

Perfformio i Merched y Wawr yng Nghaffi Beca - Cafodd rai o disgyblion yr ysgol gyfle i fynd i berfformio i griw Merched y Wawr Efailwen yng Nghaffi Beca. Fe wnaeth pawb fwynhau’r profiad ac roedd hi’n hyfryd gweld y disgyblion yn cymysgu’n wych gyda’r gynulleidfa ar ôl eu perfformiadau.

Performing for Merched y Wawr in Caffi Beca - Some of the school's pupils had the opportunity to go and perform for the Merched y Wawr Efailwen crew at Caffi Beca. Everyone enjoyed the experience and it was lovely to see the pupils mixing brilliantly with the audience after their performances.

Ymweliad Dyfrig Davies Visit

Ymweliad gan Dyfrig Davies - Croesawyd Dyfrig Davies i’r ysgol i drafod ei yrfa fel cynhyrchydd yn y byd teledu a’r pwysigrwydd mae siarad Cymraeg wedi ei gael ar ei yrfa i’r ysgol. Soniodd am yr holl waith cynhyrchu gwahanol y gwnaeth pan oedd yn gweithio i gwmni teledu Telesgop cyn iddo ymddeol yn ddiweddar. Holodd y disgyblion lawer o gwestiynau gwahanol i Dyfrig er mwyn dysgu mwy am sut mae’r Gymraeg wedi ei gynorthwyo yn ei yrfa.

A visit from Dyfrig Davies - Dyfrig Davies was welcomed to the school to discuss his career as a producer in the television world and the importance that speaking Welsh has had on his career for the school. He talked about all the different production work he did when he worked for the Teleskop television company before he retired recently. The pupils asked Dyfrig many different questions in order to learn more about how the Welsh language has helped him in his career.

Gwasanaeth Pasg / Easter Assembly

Gwasanaeth Pasg gyda’r Parchedig Sian Elin - Cyn y gwyliau Pasg, fe ddaeth y parchedig Sian Elin i’r ysgol i gynnal gwasanaeth Pasg gyda’r disgyblion i gyd. Roedd ganddi neges bwysig iawn oedd yn cysylltu gyda stori’r Pasg ac fe wnaeth y disgyblion ddysgu llawer.

Easter Service with the Reverend Sian Elin - Before the Easter holidays, the reverend Sian Elin came to the school to hold an Easter service with all the pupils. She had a very important message that connected with the Easter story and the pupils learned a lot.

DOSBARTHIADAU / CLASSES

Dosbarth Carn Gyfrwy

Mae dosbarth Carn Gyfrwy wedi cael hanner tymor prysur arall, annodd creu ein bod yn mynd mewn i’n tymor olaf am y flwyddyn hon. Mae’r disgyblion wedi bod yn mwynhau gweithgareddau amrywiol tu fewn a thu allan yn ystod yr wythnosau diwethaf. Rydym wedi parhau gyda’r thema ‘O’r Fesen i’r Dderwen’ ac wedi bod yn edrych ar y storïau ‘Y Lindysyn Llwglyd Iawn’ a ‘Hugan Fach Goch’. Mae’r disgyblion wedi ymgymryd ag amrywiaeth o weithagreddau i ddatblygu sgiliau mathemateg a rhifedd gan gynnwys cyfri fesul 10, lluosi a rhannu, adio a tynnu. Rydym wedi parhau i chwarae’r gêm pwmpen, canu’r gân bondiau 10 ac wedi dechrau cyfri fesul 2 gyda’r ddawns haka. Mae’r disgyblion wedi defnyddio’r sgiliau mathemateg a rhifedd yma yn yr ardaloedd yn y dosbarth. Mae’r disgyblion wedi cael cyfle i ddatblygu eu sgiliau corfforol wrth ddefnyddio’r beiciau newydd yn yr ardal allanol. Hyfryd yw eu gweld yn gweithio fel tîm i helpu ei gilydd. Cafodd y disgyblion gyfle i ddatblygu eu sgiliau digidol wrth gymryd rhan mewn gweithdy digidol ar y stori ‘Hugan Fach Goch’ gyda Mr Batcup. Aethant ati i gofnodi taith Hugan Fach Goch gan ddefnyddio beebots a J2E. Rydym wedi bod yn gwneud y mwyaf o’r tywydd braf hefyd wrth ymgymryd mewn gweithgareddau Llun llanast gyda disgyblion Cylch Meithrin. Aeth y disgyblion allan i archwilio eu hamgylchedd, planu a gofalu am blanhigion amrywiol a gweithio fel tîm i gasglu adnoddau ac adeiladu gwesty trychfilod. Roedd y disgyblion wrth eu boddau yn cymryd cyfrifoldeb dros warchod y planhigion a cadw llygad ar ba drychfilod y byddent yn gweld yn y gwesty trychfilod. Ar ddechrau’r hanner tymor, aethom ati i ddathlu Diwrnod y llyfr. Gwisgodd y disgyblion fel eu hoff gymeriad ac fe wnaethant ddylunio clawr newydd i’w hoff lyfr. Cawsom armywiaeth eang o gymeriadau gwahanol a hyfryd oedd gweld y disgyblion yn datblygu eu sgiliau perfformio wrth ddweud wrth bawb arall yn y dosbarth beth oedd eu hoff lyfr a pam. Yn ystod yr wythnos olaf, fe wnaeth y disgyblion fwynhau taith i Folly Farm. Fe wnaeth y disgyblion i gyd fwynhau gweld yr anifeiliaid i gyd a cael cyfle i grwydro'r parc. Eu hoff anifeiliaid oedd y pengwin's a'r jiraff's. Tymor arall ar ben a nawr edrychwn ymlaen i’n tymor olaf y flwyddyn hon. Diolchwn yn fawr i chi rieni, gofalwyr y plant am eich cydweithrediad a’ch cefnogaeth yn ystod yr hanner tymor hwn. Ymlaen nawr i dymor yr haf. Diolch yn fawr, Miss Dafydd, Miss Carey a Miss Carol.

Carn Gyfrwy class has had another busy half term, hard to believe we are entering our last term for this year. The pupils have been enjoying various indoor and outdoor activities in recent weeks. We have continued with the theme 'From the Acorn to the Oak' and have been looking at the stories 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' and 'Little Red Riding Hood’. The pupils have undertaken a variety of activities to develop mathematics and numeracy skills including counting by 10, multiplication and division, addition and subtraction. We have continued to play the pumpkin game, sing the 10 bonds song and have started counting by 2s with the haka dance. The pupils have used these mathematics and numeracy skills in the areas in the class. The pupils have had the opportunity to develop their physical skills while using the new bikes in the outside area. It is wonderful to see them working as a team to help each other. The pupils had the opportunity to develop their digital skills by taking part in a digital workshop on the story 'Hugan Fach Goch' with Mr Batcup. They set out to record Little Red Riding Hood's journey using beebots and J2E. We have also been making the most of the nice weather by taking part in Messy Photo activities with Cylch Meithrin pupils. The pupils went out to explore their surroundings, plant and care for various plants and work as a team to collect resources and build an insect hotel. The pupils loved taking responsibility for protecting the plants and keeping an eye on which insects they would see in the insect hotel. At the start of half term, we set out to celebrate Book Day. The pupils dressed as their favourite character and designed a new cover for their favourite book. We had a wide array of different characters, and it was wonderful to see the pupils develop their performance skills while telling everyone else in the class what their favourite book was and why. During the last week, the pupils enjoyed a trip to Folly Farm. All the pupils enjoyed seeing all the animals and having the opportunity to explore the park. Their favourite animals were the penguin's and the giraffe's. Another term is over and now we look forward to our final term this year. We would like to thank you parents and guardians for your cooperation and support during this half term. Now on to the summer season. Thank you very much, Miss Dafydd, Miss Carey and Miss Carol.

Dosbarth Cwm Cerwyn

Mae’r hanner tymor hwn wedi bod yn un prysur arall i ddosbarth Cwm Cerwyn, gyda llawer o’n disgyblion yn cystadlu mewn amrywiaeth o chwaraeon ac mewn gwahanol rowndiau o’r Eisteddfod.

Dechreuon ni drwy ddathlu Dydd Gŵyl Dewi gyda’r gymuned lle perfformiodd y plant amrywiaeth o eitemau o’r Eisteddfod yn ogystal â chaneuon i ddathlu Dydd Gŵyl Dewi. Cystadlodd blynyddoedd 3 a 4 yng nghystadleuaeth rygbi tag yr Urdd, ac fe berfformiodd y plant yn wych, gan ennill rhai gemau a chystadlu yn erbyn llawer o ysgolion o amgylch Sir Benfro. Roedd y plant hefyd wedi cael amser arbenning wrth wisgo lan fel eu hoff gymeriadau i ddathlu Diwrnod y Llyfr.

Yn ystod ein gwersi Gwener Gwyllt a’r gwersi thematig, cawsom amrywiaeth eang iawn o dasgau i’w cwblhau. Dechreuon ni drwy goginio crempogau gan ddilyn ein cyfarwyddiadau ein hunain, cyn gwneud peli braster gyda hadau adar i fwydo’r amrywiaeth o adar yn nhir ein hysgol. Cawsom hefyd y dasg o ddymchwel ein hen ffens helyg, mesur hyd y ffens oedd ei hangen, a gweithio fel tîm i helpu adeiladu ein ffens newydd.

Yn ein gwersi diogelwch ar-lein, astudion ni newyddion ar-lein ac asesu sut gallwn fesur pa mor ddibynadwy yw’r newyddion a welwn yn y byd digidol. Mae’n bwysig iawn i ni fod yn wybodus ac yn ddiogel wrth fod ar-lein. Cafwyd llwyddiant ysgubol hefyd i ddosbarth Cwm Cerwyn, pan gafodd cymaint o’n plant eu gwaith ei gyhoeddi yn llyfr barddoniaeth diweddaraf Young Writers. Rydyn ni mor falch o’r plant i gyd.

Diolch am eich cydweithrediad a’ch cefnogaeth dros yr hanner tymor hwn ac rydyn ni’n edrych ymlaen at dymor haf cyffrous a llwyddiannus. Diolch yn fawr.

This half term has been another busy one for dosbarth Cwm Cerwyn, with many of our students competing in a variety of sports and in different rounds of the Eisteddfod.

We began by celebrating St David’s Day with the community where children performed a variety of items from the Eisteddfod as well as songs to celebrate St David’s Day. Years 3 and 4 competed in the Urdd Tag Rugby tournament, and the children performed fantastically well, winning some games and competing against lots of schools from around Pembrokeshire. The children also had a wonderful time dressing up as their favourite characters to celebrate World Book Day.

During our Gwener Gwyllt and thematic lessons we had a very wide variety of tasks to complete. We began by cooking pancakes following our own written instructions, before making fat balls from bird seed to feed the variety of birds in our school grounds. We also had the task of collapsing our old willow fence, measuring the length of fence needed, and working as a team to help build our new fence.

In our e-safety lessons, we studied online news and assessed how we can measure how reliable the news is that we see in the online world. It is very important to us to be informed and safe when we are in the online world. There was also a huge success for dosbarth Cwm Cerwyn, when so many of our children had their work published in the latest Young Writers poetry book. We are so proud of all the children.

Thank you for all your cooperation and support over this half term and we are looking forward to an exciting and successful summer term. Diolch yn fawr.
