Blwyddyn 4, 5 & 6

Penrhyn, Esgyryn, Rhiwledyn a Gloddaeth

In Years 4, 5 and 6, our learners engage in an exciting and challenging curriculum that reflects the ambition and purpose of the Curriculum for Wales. Through rich, real-life learning experiences and enquiry-based projects, pupils visit curriculum investigation areas that spark curiosity and deepen understanding across all Areas of Learning and Experience. A strong emphasis is placed on developing key cross-curricular skills, including critical thinking, digital competence, and effective communication. The Welsh language is actively used in daily learning, helping pupils grow as confident bilingual speakers. Pupils also enjoy opportunities to take part in Urdd sports tournaments, representing the school with pride, and participate in adventurous residential courses that build teamwork, resilience and independence. These final years of primary education are about empowering pupils to be ambitious, capable learners ready for the next stage of their journey.

Ym Mlynyddoedd 4, 5 a 6, mae ein dysgwyr yn cymryd rhan mewn cwricwlwm cyffrous a heriol sy'n adlewyrchu uchelgais a phwrpas Cwricwlwm Cymru. Trwy brofiadau dysgu cyfoethog, bywyd go iawn a phrosiectau sy'n seiliedig ar ymholiadau, mae disgyblion yn archwilio meysydd ymchwilio cwricwlwm sy'n ennyn chwilfrydedd ac yn dyfnhau dealltwriaeth ar draws pob Maes Dysgu a Phrofiad. Rhoddir pwyslais cryf ar ddatblygu sgiliau trawsgwricwlaidd allweddol, gan gynnwys meddwl beirniadol, cymhwysedd digidol, a chyfathrebu effeithiol. Defnyddir yr iaith Gymraeg yn weithredol mewn dysgu dyddiol, gan helpu disgyblion i dyfu fel siaradwyr dwyieithog hyderus. Mae disgyblion hefyd yn mwynhau cyfleoedd i gymryd rhan mewn twrnameintiau chwaraeon yr Urdd, cynrychioli'r ysgol gyda balchder, a chymryd rhan mewn cyrsiau preswyl anturus sy'n meithrin gwaith tîm, gwydnwch ac annibyniaeth. Mae'r blynyddoedd olaf hyn o addysg gynradd yn ymwneud â grymuso disgyblion i fod yn ddysgwyr uchelgeisiol a galluog yn barod ar gyfer cam nesaf eu taith.

Things to remember:

Year 4, 5 and 6 pupils can bring their own pencil case if they wish. Pupils must take responsibility for their own pencil case. Black pens will be available to each pupil.

They don't need to bring unnecessary things like toys, money or trading cards like 'Top Trumps' either.

Pupils will be assigned to new Google classrooms through HWB. Homework tasks, resources and class messages will be posted in Google classrooms.

We suggest that the pupils wear their PE clothes to school on the days they have PE lessons. Pupils should wear a pair of black (or dark) shorts/'leggings', a plain white or red t-shirt (their school polo shirt is fine) and their red school jumper. In cooler weather tracksuit trousers may be more appropriate. A suitable pair of trainers is essential.

Reading books will be sent home each week. Make sure the books are returned on the appropriate day each week and that homework is completed within the allotted time. Also, help the pupils to learn the spelling given to them each week.
