Hola, Aloha a Helo! Ydy wir, mae amser yn hedfan pan rydych yn cael hwyl a sbri, ac
mae’r hanner tymor yma wedi hedfan! Rydym wedi bod yn ofnadwy o brysur yn;
dysgu llinellau, ymarfer, actio, canu a pherfformio ein cyngerdd Nadolig. Diolch yn
fawr iawn i chi am drefnu gwisg ac am ymarfer gyda’r plant. Rydym wedi ffocysu ar
amser, arian, lluosi a data yn ein sesiynau mathemateg. Yn ychwanegol i’r gwersi
iaith, rydym hefyd wedi dysgu ychydig o Sbaeneg! Rydym hefyd wedi darganfod
sut mae gwledydd gwahanol yn dathlu’r Nadolig, ac rwy’n sicr bydd y disgyblion yn
cytuno gydaf, does unman yn debyg i adref; dychmygwch gorfod aros tan y 6ed o
Ionawr i dderbyn anrheg Nadolig! Nadolig Llawen iawn i chi!

Hola, Aloha and Hello! Time flies when you’re having fun and indeed this half term has flown by. We have been incredibly busy,
learning lines, practising, acting, singing and performing our Christmas concert. An enormous thank you to you for arranging the
costumes and for rehearsing with the children. We have focused on time, money, multiplication and data in our morning
mathematic sessions. Not only have we been having our usual language lessons, but we have also learnt a little Spanish! We have
also discovered how different countries celebrate Christmas and I’m sure the children agree, there is no place like home;
imagine having waiting until January the 6th to receive a Christmas gift!

BLWYDDYN 1

Am ein thema ‘Gadewch i ni eich diddanu’ rydyn ni wedi bod
yn brysur yn paratoi ar gyfer ein sioe Nadolig. Gwnaethom
fwynhau dysgu llawer o ganeuon, defnyddio’r ‘sgrin werdd’ a
dysgu sut i ac=o. Wrth baratoi ar gyfer y sioe buom hefyd yn
dysgu am stori genedigaeth Iesu Grist, rhoi’r stori yn y drefn
gywir ac ysgrifennu am yr hyn ddigwyddodd. Yn ogystal â hyn
gwnaethom barhau gyda gwersi Aled Afal sydd yn ein helpu i
wella ein sgiliau ysgrifennu. Dros yr wythnosau diwethaf
buom yn brysur yn datblygu ein sgiliau mathemateg drwy
ddysgu am ddarnau arian a sut i greu cyfansymiau yn ogystal
â dysgu am Siapau 2D. Yn arwain at y Nadolig mae pawb
wedi mwynhau canu caneuon Nadolig a chreu cardiau,
calendrau a chreEau yn barod i ddod adref. Yn dilyn
gwrando ar Garnifal yr Anifeiliaid un o’n hoff bethau oedd
dysgu am y gwahanol offerynnau a gweithio mewn grwpiau,
gan ddefnyddio’r offerynnau i gyfleu anifeiliaid amrywiol. Gobeithio y gwnewch chi fwynhau ein fideo a Nadolig Llawen i chi gyd.

For our theme 'Let me entertain you' we have been busy preparing for our Christmas show. We enjoyed learning a lot of songs, using the green screen and learning
how to act. In prepara@on for the show, we also learned about the story of the birth of Jesus Christ, sequenced key events from the story and wrote about what
happened. In addi@on, we have con@nued with Aled Afal who is helping us improve our wri@ng skills. Over the past few weeks, we have been busy developing our
maths skills by learning about coins and how to create totals as well as learning about 2D Shapes. Leading up to Christmas everyone has enjoyed singing Christmas
songs and crea@ng cards, calendars and craIs ready to come home. AIer listening to Carnival of the Animals one of our favourite things was learning about different
instruments and working in groups, using the instruments to convey various animals. We hope you enjoy our video and a Merry Christmas to you all.

Year 3 wanted to find out how Christmas lights worked. So, we held an
experiment on electrical circuits and electricity conductors.

Tymor yr Hydref- Rhagfyr 2021 Autumn Term - December 2021

BLWYDDYN 2

Mae wedi bod yn hanner tymor prysur. Dwy thema wahanol oedd gennym- 'Gadewch i ni eich diddanu' a 'Nadolig'. Yn ystod ein thema 'Gadewch i ni
eich diddanu' roedd y plant wrth eu bodd yn datblygu eu sgiliau cerddorol drwy ddefnyddio offerynnau cerdd a dysgu am gyflymder. Dysgodd y plant
stori'r tri mochyn bach o'r cof gan ddefnyddio dull Pie Corbett- yna fe wnaethon nhw berfformio hyn i'r dosbarth - ychwanegodd y plant
gerddoriaeth a synau eu hunain. Ym mathemateg mae'r plant wedi dysgu am arian ac amser.  Wrth baratoi am y sioe Nadolig- roedd y plant wrth eu
bodd yn gwisgo i fyny ac yn perfformio. Ni allant aros i chi weld y fideo ar-lein o'r perfformiad terfynol. Mae'r plant wedi bod yn gweithio'n galed i
ddatblygu eu sgiliau darllen ac ysgrifennu- mae darllen ar y cyfan wedi gwella'n sylweddol, diolch am ddarllen gartref gyda'ch plant. Mae'r
gystadleuaeth coeden ddarllen wedi gwella ymgysylltiad y plant. Yn ein thema 'Nadolig' mae'r plant wedi mwynhau stori'r Geni a dysgu pam mae'r
Nadolig yn bwysig i ni. Ysgrifennodd y plant llythyr at Siôn Corn. Gwnaed hyn i gyd yn swyddfa bost yr
ystafell ddosbarth lle'r oeddent yn defnyddio arian i brynu amlenni a stampiau.  Cynhaliwyd arbrawf
gwyddonol- darganfuwyd ein bod yn gallu hydoddi losin Nadolig mewn dŵr- yn dibynnu ar ba dymheredd.  

It has been an eventful half term. We have had 2 themes- ‘Let me entertain you’ and ‘Christmas’. During
our ‘Let me entertain you' theme the children loved developing their musical skills by using musical
instruments and learning about tempo. The children learned the story of the three little pigs from
memory using the Pie Corbett method- they then performed this to the class- even adding their own
music and sounds to it. In maths the children have learned about money and time. Let’s not forget the Christmas show- the children loved dressing
up and performing. They can’t wait for you to see the online video of the final performance. The children have been working hard to develop their
reading and writing skills- reading on the whole has improved significantly, thanks for reading at home with your children. The reading tree
competition has really improved engagement. In our ‘Christmas’ theme the children have enjoyed the Story of baby Jesus and why Christmas is
important to us. They even wrote a letter to Santa, put it in an envelope and posted it with a stamp. All of this was done in the classroom post
office where they used money to purchase envelopes and stamps. In science the children learned that Christmas candy sticks can be dissolved-
depending on what temperature the water was. Myself and Miss Reed would like to wish you a happy Christmas and a Happy New Year!  

DERBYN

Wel, mae hanner tymor prysur arall wedi dod i ben. ‘Gadewch i ni eich diddanu’ oedd ein thema yn ystod
yr hanner tymor yma. Thema oedd yn ffocysu ar ddatblygu ein sgiliau creadigol – o ganu ac actio i
ddylunio a chreu.
Prif ffocws y dysgu fodd bynnag oedd Stori’r Geni. Bu’r plant yn brysur iawn yn dysgu caneuon ac
ymarfer ar gyfer ‘Y Geni’. Gwnaethom ni gyd fwynhau perfformio ar y llwyfan a chanu am y Baban Iesu.
Cawsom gyfle hefyd i ddefnyddio’r ‘sgrin werdd’ am tro cyntaf. Roeddem ni wrth ein bodd yn gweld hud y
sgrin yn dod yn fyw wrth i ni berfformio gyda’n ffrindiau. Diolch i chi rhieni am wisgo’r plant mor hyfryd.

Yn ystod yr wythnosau cyntaf wedi gwyliau’r hanner tymor ymunodd Mr Dowley, myfyriwr o Brifysgol Y
Drindod Dewi Sant, â ni yn y dosbarth. Gwnaeth baratoi llawer o dasgau ar ein cyfer a chawsom lawer o
hwyl yn dysgu gydag ef. Dymunwn yn dda iddo wrth symud ymlaen at y dosbarth nesaf yn y flwyddyn
newydd.
Dros yr wythnosau diwethaf cawsom lawer o hwyl yn gwneud ein crefftau Nadolig. Ysgrifennom lythyr at Siôn Corn yn nodi’r hyn yr hoffem eu cael yn anrhegion eleni. Mae ein llythyr
ar ffurf sach Nadoligaidd – bydd yn edrych yn bert iawn yn eich cartrefi rwy’n siŵr. Wrth i dymor prysur ddod i ben edrychwn ymlaen at gael ymlacio a mwynhau yn ystod y gwyliau yn
barod ar gyfer hanner tymor arall o weithgareddau hwylus. Dymunwn Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda i chi gyd.

Well, another busy half term has come to an end. 'Let us entertain you' was our theme during this half term. A theme that focused on developing our creative skills – from singing and
acting to designing and creating.
However, the main focus of the learning was The Nativity. The children have been very busy learning songs and practicing for our “Nativity”. We all enjoyed being on stage and singing
songs about Baby Jesus. We also had the opportunity to use the 'green screen' for the first time. We were delighted to see the magic of the screen come to life as we performed
with our friends. A big thank you to you the parents for dressing the children
in their beautiful costumes.
During the first few weeks after the half-term holidays Mr Dowley, a student
teacher from the University of Wales, joined us in class. He prepared many
tasks for us and we had a lot of fun learning with him. We wish him well in
moving on to the next class in the new year.
Over the last few weeks, we have had a lot of fun doing our Christmas crafts.
We wrote a letter to Santa stating what we would like as gifts this year. Our
letter is in the form of a festive sack – it will look very pretty in your homes
I’m sure. As a busy season comes to an end we look forward to relaxing and
enjoying over the holidays ready for another half term of exciting activities.
We wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!
