BLWYDDYN 1

Mae wedi bod yn hanner tymor byr iawn! Mae’r amser wedi hedfan. Ein thema'r hanner tymor yma oedd ‘Sŵ Bach’. Bydd y
thema yma yn parhau i mewn i’r hanner tymor olaf ac yna byddwn yn cyflwyno’r thema newydd ‘Gwingo ac Ymlusgo’. Mae’r
plant wedi bod wrth eu bodd yn dysgu am anifeiliaid gwahanol. Maen nhw wedi bod yn dysgu sut i ddisgrifio anifeiliaid y
fferm ac anifeiliaid Affrica wrth ddefnyddio ansoddeiriau. Ym mathemateg mae’r plant wedi bod yn gwella eu sgiliau adio a
thynnu unwaith eto wrth gyfri yn ôl ac ymlaen yn eu pen neu ar linellau rhif. Gan ein bod wedi dysgu am anifeiliaid Affrica
rydym wedi bod yn edrych ar batrymau ailadroddus ar fygydau Affricanaidd. Mae’r plant wedi defnyddio’r sgil yma i greu
mygydau Affricanaidd eu hunain. Hefyd rydym wedi dysgu sgiliau dawns wrth gymharu cerddoriaeth pop i gerddoriaeth
traddodiadol Affricanaidd.

It has been a very short half term! The time has flown by. Our theme this half term has been ‘Mini Zoo’. This theme will
continue into the next half term and we will also introduce the theme ‘Wriggle and Crawl’. The children have been in their
element learning about different animals. They have been learning how to use adjectives to describe farm animals and animals from Africa. In mathematics
they have been improving their addition and subtraction skills by counting forward and backwards in their head and number lines. As we have been learning
about animals from Africa we have also looked at African masks and colour patterns. The children have used the skill of repeating patterns to create their
own African masks. We have also been developing our dance skills by listening to and dancing to pop music and traditional African music.
