CYSYLLTIADAU CYMUNEDOL A RHIENI COMMUNITY AND PARENTAL LINKS

Mae cydweithio gyda rhieni yn allweddol ar gyfer llwyddiant ysgol. Mae’r ysgol yn ymrwymedig i ganfod ac i ymateb i farn rhieni er mwyn parhau i arfarnu ein prosesau a gwella. Holwyd barn rhieni drwy holiadur eleni ynglŷn â • Dulliau cyfathrebu • Y cwricwlwm newydd a blaenoriaethau dysgu • Prosesau ymgartrefu yn yr ysgol (Meithrin a Derbyn) Ac fe ddefnyddiwyd yr ymatebion i ddylanwadu ac i wella ar brosesau e.e creu cynllun cyfathrebu clir. Cynhaliwyd cyfarfodydd i rieni newydd Meithrin a Derbyn yn ystod tymor yr haf, a nosweithiau rhieni i bawb yn nhymor yr hydref a gwanwyn. Croesawyd rhieni hefyd i • Wasanaethau dosbarth • Dathliadau Nadolig • Seremoni gadeirio Eisteddfod (Bl 4 a 6) • Boreau coffi Mae’r Ysgol hefyd yn ymrwymedig i ddatblygu dinasyddion da, ac yn rhoi cyfleoedd aml ac amrywiol i ddisgyblion yr Ysgol gyfrannu tuag at achosion da. Diolch i aelodau CRAFF eto am eu cefnogaeth a'u nawdd yn ystod y flwyddyn. Trefnwyd nifer o ddigwyddiadau gan gynnwys disgos, ffeiriau Nadoligaidd a haf, noson cwis, twmpath a barbeciw. Codwyd miloedd o bunnoedd eto eleni a bydd y disgyblion yn elwa o hyn yn ystod y flwyddyn academaidd i ddod.

Collaboration with parents is key to a successful school. The school is committed to collating and responding to the views of parents in order to continue to evaluate and improve our processes. Parents were asked to express opinions through questionnaires regarding • Communication methods • The new curriculum and learning priorities • School settling processes (Nursery and Reception) And the responses were used to influence and improve processes e.g. creating a clear communication plan. Meetings were held for new Nursery and Reception parents during the summer term, and parents' evenings for everyone in the autumn and spring term. Parents were also welcomed to • Class services • Christmas celebrations • Eisteddfod chairing of the bard ceremony (Years 4 +6) • Coffee mornings The school is also committed to enabling our pupils to become good citizens, with ample and varied opportunities to support good causes. Thank you to CRAFF again for their support and sponsorship during the year. Several events were organised including discos, Christmas and summer fairs, a quiz night, twmpath and barbecue. Thousands of pounds were raised again this year and the pupils will benefit from this during the academic year to come.

Ysgol benodedig Gymraeg yw Ysgol Iolo Morganwg ac mae’r disgyblion yn trosglwyddo i Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Morgannwg. Ar wahân i’r Saesneg, sy’n cael ei chyflwyno ar ddechrau Cyfnod Allweddol 2, mae pob pwnc yn cael ei addysgu drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Ni addysgir Saesneg yn y Cyfnod Sylfaen. Anogir pob disgybl i ddefnyddio’r Gymraeg bob amser.

Ysgol Iolo Morganwg is a designated Welsh medium school and pupils transfer to Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Morgannwg. English is not taught in the Foundation Phase. English is introduced at the beginning of Key Stage 2, and all subjects are taught through the medium of Welsh. All pupils are encouraged to use Welsh at all times.

PONTIO A THROSGLWYDDO I’R UWCHRADD TRANSITION AND TRANSFER TO SECONDARY SCHOOL

PONTIO Fe dreuliodd pob disgybl 2 fore yn eu dosbarthiadau newydd eleni, cyn diwedd y tymor, er mwyn ymgyfarwyddo gyda’r dosbarth a’i leoliad, ynghyd a dod i adnabod yr athro/awes ddosbarth. Bu hyn yn effeithiol er mwyn sicrhau cychwyn hyderus a diffwdan i’r flwyddyn academaidd newydd. CYSYLLTIADAU UWCHRADD Mae Ysgol lolo Morganwg yn naturiol yn bwydo Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Morgannwg. Cadwn gysylltiadau agos ac amrywiol rhyngom ac rydym yn gweithio i atgyfnerthu ac ehangu'r berthynas. Mae cyswllt yn cychwyn yn gynnar gyda gweithgareddau pontio achlysurol yn digwydd o flwyddyn 4 ymlaen. Daw aelodau o'r staff atom o bryd i'w gilydd, i siarad â'r disgyblion a gyda'r rhieni. Yn eu blwyddyn olaf caiff Blwyddyn 6 fynd yno am ddiwrnodau pontio penodol hefyd yn ogystal â chyfle i fynychu cwrs preswyl pontio yn nhymor yr haf.

TRANSITION Every pupil spent 2 mornings in their new classes this year, before the end of the season, to familiarize themselves with the class and its location, and to get to know the class teacher. This has been effective in order to ensure a confident and enthusiastic start for the new academic year. LINKS WITH SECONDARY SCHOOL Ysgol Iolo Morganwg naturally feeds Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Morgannwg. We maintain close and varied links between us and we work to strengthen and develop the relationship. Contact starts early with occasional activities taking place from year 4 onwards. Members of staff come to us from time to time, to talk to the pupils and with the parents. In their final year, Year 6 will also go there for specific transition days as well as an opportunity to attend a residential course in the summer term.

Y CWRICWLWM THE CURRICULUM

Wrth reswm, sail y maes llafur yw Fframwaith y Cyfnod Sylfaen a’r Cwricwlwm Cenedlaethol. Wrth gynllunio, rydym yn ffocysu ar ddatblygu sgiliau Llythrennedd, Rhifedd a Sgiliau Digidol, gan annog a herio’r plant i’w cymhwyso mewn cyd-destun thematig. Rydym yn addysgu’r Fframwaith a’r pynciau Cwricwlaidd drwy gyfrwng 6 Maes Dysgu a Phrofiad, gan baratoi at newidiadau cwricwlaidd yn 2021.

1. Celfyddydau mynegiannol. 2. Iechyd a lles. 3. Dyniaethau (gan gynnwys addysg grefyddol). 4. Ieithoedd, llythrennedd a chyfathrebu (gan

gynnwys y Gymraeg, ac ieithoedd tramor modern). 5. Mathemateg a rhifedd. 6. Gwyddoniaeth a thechnoleg (gan gynnwys

cyfrifiadureg). Mae’r ysgol wedi cychwyn ar y gwaith o wreiddio 4 diben y cwricwlwm newydd i mewn i ethos ac amcanion yr ysgol, gan annog a chynorthwyo’n plant a’n pobl ifanc i fod yn:

1. ddysgwyr uchelgeisiol, galluog sy’n barod i ddysgu drwy gydol eu hoes

2. gyfranwyr mentrus, creadigol sy’n barod i chwarae eu rhan yn llawn yn eu bywyd a’u gwaith

3. ddinasyddion egwyddorol, gwybodus yng Nghymru a’r byd

4. unigolion iach, hyderus sy’n barod i fyw bywyd gan wireddu eu dyheadau fel aelodau gwerthfawr o gymdeithas.

The basis of the syllabus is, of course, the Foundation Phase Framework and the National Curriculum. In planning, we focus on developing Literacy, Numeracy and Digital Skills, encouraging and challenging the children to apply their skills in a thematic context. We teach the Framework and Curricular subjects through 6 Areas of Learning and Experience, preparing for curricular changes in 2021.

1. Expressive arts. 2. Health and wellbeing. 3. Humanities (including religious education). 4. Languages, literacy and communication (including Welsh, and modern foreign languages). 5. Mathematics and numeracy. 6. Science and technology (including computing).

The school has started work on embedding the 4 purposes of the new curriculum into the ethos and aims, to help our children and young people to be:

1. Ambitious, capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives

2. Enterprising, creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work

3. Ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world 4. Healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling

lives as valued members of society. Pupils from the nursery up to year 2 follow the Foundation Phase Framework guidelines that focus on introducing and developing skills through real and

Bydd disgyblion o’r feithrin hyd at flwyddyn 2 yn dilyn canllawiau Fframwaith y Cyfnod Sylfaen sy’n canolbwyntio ar gyflwyno a meithrin sgiliau trwy brofiadau uniongyrchol. Mae'r holl bwyslais ar ddysgu trwy wneud - datblygu iaith lafar, a dysgu sgiliau sylfaenol a'r amrywiaeth o brofiadau ymarferol a chreadigol. Mae bwrlwm gweithgareddau’r Cyfnod Sylfaen yn ymestyn ac yn ymhelaethu ar hyn. Mae'r cyfan yn seiliedig ar gyfres o themâu lle mae'r pynciau'n plethu at ei gilydd.

Bydd y syniadau hyn yn amlwg yng nghyfnod Allweddol 2 hefyd, gyda phwyslais cynyddol ar ddatblygu dysgwyr annibynnol sydd â pherchnogaeth dros eu dysgu, a disgyblion sydd yn cymryd rhan weithredol wrth roi mewnbwn i’r cynllunio, ac wrth arfarnu eu gwaith Nid ydym yn canolbwyntio ar ddim ond yr un dull o weithio - amrywiaeth yw'r allwedd sy'n arwain at ddeall.

Gosodir

practical experiences. Developing language, basic skills in literacy and numeracy through a variety of practical and creative experiences, with the emphasis on learning by doing. Learning on the Foundation Phase is led by a thematic approach, with all areas of learning taught through a series of themes and topics.

The same principles apply to learning in Key Stage 2, with an increasing emphasis on developing independent learners who have ownership over their learning, and pupils who are actively involved in informing the planning, assessing their work and when presenting their work. We aim to use a variety of teaching styles and experiences, as diversity is the key that leads to understanding.

YMWELIADAU, TEITHIAU A GWEITHGAREDDAU ALLGYRSIOL

VISITS, TRIPS AND EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Mae'n anodd cynnwys pob ymweliad a digwyddiad yn yr adroddiad hwn, ond dyma flas o rai o'r achlysuron hyn.

Cynhaliwyd cyfres o ddiwrnodau pontio a pythefnos o weithgareddau lles ar ddechrau blwyddyn newydd, er mwyn sicrhau bod pawb yn ymgartrefu’n hawdd i’w dosbarthiadau newydd.

Ym mis Tachwedd, cafodd Blynyddoedd 5 a 6 amser gwych yn ymweld â chanolfannau preswyl Llangrannog ac Abernant a gwnaed cychwyn cadarnhaol gyda'r ymweliadau pontio cyntaf i Ysgol y Fro.

Cynhaliwyd cyngherddau Nadolig gwych eto eleni yn y Cyfnod Sylfaen ac yng nghyfnod Allweddol 2.

Bu’n flwyddyn brysur i ddisgyblion unigol, y côr a'r partïon canu wrth iddynt gymryd rhan mewn amrywiaeth o gyngherddau a pherfformiadau, yn y gymuned ac yn Eisteddfod yr Urdd.

Roedd y gystadleuaeth yn ffyrnig unwaith eto yng nghystadlaethau Celf a Chrefft yr Urdd a choginio. Da iawn bawb ar eu llwyddiant!

Cawsom gadarnhad eleni bod yr ysgol wedi bod yn llwyddiannus wrth ennill gwobr efydd Y Siarter Iaith- diolch i gymuned gyfan yr ysgol am eu cefnogaeth. Mae’r gwaith yn awr yn parhau wrth gychwyn y daith tuag at y wobr Arian!

Parhaodd Siân Elin i ysbrydoli plant yn ystod y clybiau Ffrangeg.

It is difficult to include all of the visits and events in this report, but below is a taste of some of these occasions.

A series of transition days were had and a fortnight of well-being activities were held at the beginning of the year, to ensure that everyone settled easily into their new classes

In November, Years 5 and 6 had a great time visiting Llangrannog and Abernant residential centers and the first transition visits to Ysgol y Fro took place successfully.

Excellent Christmas concerts have been held this year again in both the Foundation Phase and Key Stage 2

It was a busy year for individual pupils, the choir and the singing parties as they took part in a variety of concerts and performances, both in the community and at the Urdd Eisteddfod.

The competition, once again, was of a high standard in the Urdd Art and Crafts competitions and cooking competition. Well done everyone on their success!

We received confirmation this year that the school has been successful in winning the Siarter Iaith bronze award - thanks to the whole school community for their support. The work is now ongoing as we start the journey towards the Silver prize!

Sian Elin continued to inspire children during the French clubs.

Bu llawer o ymweliadau i wylio perfformiadau theatrig a hefyd nifer o ymweliadau addysgol sy'n ymgysylltu â themâu'r dosbarth.

Fe wnaeth y Cyfnod Sylfaen berfformio ar y llwyfan yng Ngŵyl Fach y Fro eto eleni, a mwynhau'r awyrgylch a diddanu'r torfeydd yn fawr iawn.

There have been many visits to watch theatrical performances and also a number of educational visits that inspire children as they begin new class themes

The Foundation Phase performed on stage at Ffair y Fro Festival again this year, enjoying the atmosphere and entertaining the crowds.

ANGHENION DYSGU YCHWANEGOL ADDITIONAL LEARNING NEEDS

Mae’r ysgol yn dilyn canllawiau Cod Ymarfer Anghenion Addysgol Arbennig Cymru. Mae Polisi Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol Ysgol Iolo Morganwg yn rhoi gwybodaeth i rieni, athrawon a Llywodraethwyr am y ffordd y gallwn gefnogi a chynnal disgyblion unigol. Cydlynydd ADY (CADY) yr ysgol yw Mrs W Farleigh. Mae’n bwysig adnabod disgyblion ADY yn gynnar er mwyn rhoi sylw priodol i’w hanghenion a chyfle iddynt gael mynediad addas i’r cwricwlwm. Caiff darpariaeth ei roi yn y dosbarth cyn belled a bod modd gyda chymorth 1:1 neu grŵp bach. Anogir disgyblion, ble bo’n briodol, i gyfrannu at unrhyw benderfyniadau a wneir ynghylch eu haddysg e.e. gosod ac adolygu targedau a chyfrannu at GDU. Ar rai adegau mae anghenion disgybl ADY yn parhau i fod mor sylweddol fel bod angen i’r ysgol wneud cais am asesiad statudol gan yr Awdurdod Lleol. Yn sgil hyn gall Datganiad o’u Hanghenion Addysgol gael ei gyhoeddi. Adolygir hwn yn flynyddol ac mae ei gynnwys yn gyfreithiol. Cysylltir â rhieni ar bob cam o’r broses ADY a

chant eu cynnwys ymhob adolygiad a chyfarfod.

The school follows the Special Educational Needs Wales Code of Practice. Ysgol Iolo Morganwg’s Additional Learning Needs Policy gives information to parents, teachers and Governors about the way individual pupils can be supported. The school’s Additional Learning Needs Co-ordinator (ALNCo) is Mrs W Farleigh. Early identification is important as it means the pupil’s needs can be addressed as soon as possible, thereby enabling him/her to successfully access the curriculum. Provision is given within the classroom as far as is possible, with pupils given 1:1 or small group intervention when necessary. Pupils, where possible, are also encouraged to participate in making decisions about their education e.g. setting and reviewing learning targets and contributing to IDPs. In a very small number of cases, the pupil’s needs remain so substantial that the school will request a statutory assessment from the Local Authority and a Statement of Educational Needs may be issued. This is reviewed annually and its content is legally binding. Parents are advised at every stage of the ALN process and invited to attend all reviews and meetings.

YSGOL IACH HEALTHY SCHOOL

Fel ysgol, rydym wedi ymrwymo i egwyddorion ysgolion iach. Caiff disgyblion y Cyfnod Sylfaen gyfle i fwynhau llaeth a ffrwyth yn ystod y dydd. Mae cyfle i bob disgybl dalu am ddarn o ffrwyth yn ddyddiol. Anogir y disgyblion i ddod a photeli dŵr i’r ysgol yn ddyddiol. Fel rhan o’r cynllun blas am oes, mae’n Cyngor Ysgol wedi llunio rhestr o syniadau a gasglwyd oddi wrth y disgyblion, er mwyn dathlu penblwyddi mewn ffordd iachus yn yr Ysgol.

As a school, we are committed to the principles of healthy schools. Pupils in the Foundation Phase have the opportunity to enjoy milk and fruit during the day. Every pupil has the opportunity to pay for a piece of fruit on a daily basis. Pupils are encouraged to bring water bottles to school daily. As part of the ‘Blas am oes’ plan, our School Council has produced a list of ideas gathered from the pupils, so that pupils can celebrate birthdays in a healthy way at the School.

CHWARAEON SPORTS

Blwyddyn lwyddiannus arall i'r ysgol gyda mwyafrif da o'n disgyblion yn cynrychioli'r ysgol mewn sawl maes gwahanol, e.e. rygbi, pêl-droed, pêl-rwyd, nofio, hoci, traws gwlad. Cafwyd llwyddiant ysgubol ym myd criced gyda thîm yr ysgol yn cyrraedd rowndiau terfynol cystadleuaeth genedlaethol yr Urdd, ac yn ennill y twrnamaint. Yn ystod y flwyddyn, gwnaethom chwarae rygbi, pêl-droed a phêl-rwyd yn erbyn ysgolion Cymraeg

Another successful year for the school with a good majority of our pupils representing the school in several different fields e.g. rugby, football, netball, swimming, hockey, cross-country. Major success was had on the cricket field with the school team reaching the national Urdd finals and winning the tournament. During the year we played rugby, football and netball against the other

eraill y Fro yn ystod twrnameintiau'r Urdd a chafodd Blwyddyn 4 a 5 wersi nofio.

Welsh schools in the Vale during the Urdd tournaments and Year 4 and 5 had swimming lessons.
