Credaf bod pob disgybl cyfwerth â'i gilydd ond rwyf hefyd yn derbyn bod plant yn wahanol a bod ganddynt yr hawl i lwyddo mewn gwahanol ffyrdd. Dymunaf i blant adael Ysgol Craig y Deryn yn ddisgyblion hyderus gyda chariad at addysg, sgiliau trafod da, hygrededd personol ac yn abl i wynebu sialens.

Dymunaf i’r disgyblion allu dysgu’n annibynnol yn ogystal â defnyddio sgiliau cydweithio; fod yn ymwybodol o’r safonau a ddisgwylir ganddynt; fod yn gwybod sut i wella eu gwaith a datrys problemau’n greadigol; fod â’r gallu i ddefnyddio’r adnoddau maent eu hangen ar gyfer datblygu; fod yn gwybod beth i’w wneud os ydynt yn wynebu anhawster; ac yn medru defnyddio sgiliau ymchwilio i ddod o hyd i atebion. Er mwyn i hyn fod yn bosibl, rhaid i’r cwricwlwm eu hysgogi, fod yn aml-synhwyrol, a rhaid i’r addysgu fod wedi ei gynllunio fel bod y plant yn weithredol yn y broses o ddysgu yn hytrach nag yn derbyn popeth ar blât. Rwyf yn awyddus i’r cwricwlwm fod yn un eang ac yn llawn o brofiadau cyfoethog i’r plant, ac yn un a wnaiff roi cyfle iddynt ddatblygu i’w llawn botensial.

Mae’r ysgol a’r cartref yn bartneriaeth. Hoffwn i chi fel rhieni a gwarchodwyr fod yn falch o’r ysgol. Credaf y dylai’r ysgol roi’r cyfle i chi ddeall a bod yn rhan o’r broses addysgu fel y gallwch helpu eich plant tu allan i’r ysgol

Mae fy ngweledigaeth i o Ysgol Craig y Deryn yn rhoi anghenion y plant uwchlaw popeth arall, ac rwy’n hollol argyhoeddedig fod y disgyblion yn haeddu’r cyfleoedd addysgol gorau y gallwn eu darparu iddynt.

3 www.YsgolCraigyDeryn.org www.YsgolCraigyDeryn.org 4 Welcome I want Craig y Deryn School to be colourful and modern, which respects its history and culture, but moves on steadily and determined towards excellence, to prepare the pupils for their future as citizens.

I believe that each pupil is as equal as each other and also accept that each child is different and has the right to succeed in different ways. I want children to leave Craig y Deryn School as confident pupils with a love for education, with good discussion skills and personal plausibility and able to face challenges.

I want children to be able to learn independently, as well as use collaborative skills; be aware of the standards expected of them; know how to improve their work and solve problems creatively; have the ability to use the resources they need to develop; know what to do if they face difficulties; and be able to use research skills to find answers. For this to be possible, the curriculum must motivate, be comprehensive, and the teaching must be planned, so that children are actively involved in the process of teaching rather than accept everything on a plate. I am eager for the curriculum to be a vast one, full of interesting things and experiences for the children, and one that will give them the opportunity to develop to their full potential.

The school and home is a partnership. I would like you as parents and guardians to be proud of the school. I believe that the school should give you the opportunity to understand and be a part of the teaching process so that you can help your children outside school.

My vision for Craig y Deryn School places the children’s needs above all else, and I am passionate in the belief that the pupils deserve the best possible educational opportunities that we can provide them.

If a child is ill or has had an accident, we contact the parents, then if needed, take the child to Tywyn Hospital or contact the emergency services. Children are given medicine only in special cases – after having written guidance from a parent. A child is not allowed to leave the school without permission. If there is a change in the way a child leaves school at the end of the day, we ask that parents inform the Headmistress or the child’s teacher about any arrangement made beforehand. Theschool regularly monitors the health and safety procedures for children and staff. Every visitor must ring the bell at the main entrance before having entry to the rest of the school and they are expected to sign-in and out of the building.

17 www.YsgolCraigyDeryn.org Cwricwlwm / Curriculum Yn y Cyfnod Sylfaen – 4-7 oed gosodir prif sylfeini’r profiadau dysgu. Bydd pwyslais ar ddatblygu sgiliau hanfodol, sef cyfathrebu, llythrennedd a rhifedd. Trwy ddarparu cwricwlwm cyfoethog ac eang gan ddefnyddio agwedd integredig, anelwn at ddatblygu diddordebau’r plant tra’n cydnabod hefyd lefel eu haeddfedrwydd. Mae’r blynyddoedd hyn yn bwysig, pan fydd plant yn dysgu sut I arsylwi, gwrando, ymateb a datblygu, nid yn unig fel unigolion ond hefyd fel aelodau gofalgar o’n cymuned. At Foundation Phase – 4 – 7 years old, the main building blocks of learning experiences are laid. The emphasis will be on developing essential skills of communication, literacy and numeracy. By providing a broad rich curriculum using an integrated approach, we aim to develop the children’s interest whilst also recognising their level of maturity. These are important years where children learn how to observe, listen, respond and develop not only as individuals but also as caring members of our community. Yng Nghyfnod Allweddol 2 – 7-11 oed bydd sgiliau hanfodol megis cyfathrebu, llythrennedd a rhifedd yn parhau i fod yn ganolbwynt i’n cwricwlwm, ond wrth i’w dealltwriaeth o’r disgyblaethau gwahanol ddatblygu, caiff mwy o amser ei roi i wyddoniaeth a’r pynciau sylfaenol eraill. Bydd y cwricwlwm yn parhau i gael ei gynnal o fewn thema integredig lle bo hynny’n ystyrlon ac yn berthnasol. Caiff y plant eu hannog i ddatblygu hunan-hyder, annibyniaeth wrth ddysgu a sgiliau uwch mewn amrywiaeth o sefyllfaoedd. At Key Stage 2 – 7 – 11 year old the essential skills of communication, literacy and numeracy will still be the central focus of our curriculum. But, as their understanding of the different disciplines increases, more time will be given to science and the foundation subjects. The curriculum will still take place within an integrated theme where it is meaningful and relevant. Children will be encouraged to develop self-confidence, independence in learning and higher order skills in a range of situations. www.YsgolCraigyDeryn.org 18 Trefn y Cwricwlwm / Curriculum Organisation Rhoddir blaenoriaeth i'r pynciau Priority is given to the ‘core’ subjects 'craidd' o fewn y Cwricwlwm within the National Curriculum – Welsh, Cenedlaethol - Cymraeg, Saesneg, English, Mathematics and Science.

Addysg Grefyddol a Chydaddoli / Religious Education & Joint Worship Mae gwasanaethau boreol yr ysgol yn rhan bwysig o ethos ac ymdeimlad Ysgol Craig y Deryn. Cysylltir yr agwedd grefyddol â phrofiadau plant yn eu bywydau beunyddiol, gan bwysleisio’r agwedd o feddwl am eraill a gofalu amdanynt. Mae’r Gwasnaeth ysgol gyfan a gynhelir yn y neuadd yn rhan bwysig o ddatblygu’r ymdeimlad o gymdeithas. Cyflwynir gwybodaeth am grefyddau’r byd ond pwysleisir y grefydd Gristnogol. Trefnir casgliadau tuag at achosion dyngarol lleol a chenedlaethol. Morning services at school are an important part of Craig y Deryn School’ ethos and feeling. The religious aspect is connected with children’s’ experiences in their daily lives, emphasising the aspects of thinking of others and caring for them. The whole school Service, which is held in the hall, is an important part of developing the sense of community. Information about world religions are introduced but Christianity is emphasised. We make collections for local and national humanitarian causes. Parents are given the right to exclude their children from Religious Education lessons and Joint Worship if there is an appropriate reason.
