About our school

A warm welcome

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. You will want to choose a school that is safe and secure, where the children are valued and cared for. You will want a school that has high expectations of both behaviour and achievement. In short, you will want a learning environment that is stimulating and which will help them to grow into happy and confident young people.

At Rhoscolyn, we can offer all this.

The information in this prospectus aims to give you a taste of what we can offer. It can never be a substitute for visiting the school, but it will give you some basic information relating to all aspects of school life.

Please come and see for yourself what we have to offer. When you do, you will see a thriving, innovative primary school that is friendly, secure and above all, successful.

I look forward to meeting you.

About our school

Admission

The Foundation Phase

3 to 7 years

Nursery

At Rhoscolyn nursery children attend part time morning sessions in the September following their third birthday.

Reception

The school admits first time pupils during the September following their fourth birthday, in accordance with the LEA policy. In accordance with the County Admissions Policy, all applications must be submitted by March 1st and by the end of March a notice will be sent confirming whether or not the child will be admitted.

At Ysgol Rhoscolyn we recognise the fact that young children have already started learning well before entering early education. In the early years, children’s learning develops more rapidly than at any other time. Children need time to play, to reflect, to repeat, and to talk to peers and adults.

Admissions other than nursery or reception

We know that joining a new school can sometimes be a worrying experience. We will try and do all we can to help you with the process. If you want to apply for a place at Rhoscolyn, then you need to contact the school secretary, who will arrange an appointment with the Headteacher.

If you wish to apply for free school meals for your child, please ask the school secretary for guidance.

If you are considering applying for a place for your child at our school, then you are most welcome to look around during or after the school day. It is advisable to make an appointment to ensure that time will be available to answer any questions you may have.

Before and after school

Children who register for our breakfast club arrive in school for 8am, enjoy a wholesome breakfast in the school hall, and are supervised at play by the breakfast club staff until 8.50am.

Children who choose not to attend the breakfast club arrive in school between 8.50am and 9.00am, and are supervised by the teachers, who endeavour to make themselves available at this time to deal with any day to day issues or queries you may have.

We ask parents of younger children to accompany your child to the Nursery and Reception Entrance at the rear of the school, where the class teacher will be ready to greet the children from 8.50am. Older children may remain on the playground without parental supervision. Parents are asked not to accompany their child into the main building.

At then end of the school day, the younger children are accompanied to the school gate by their teachers who will only dismiss your child when they can see you or the nominated carer. Older children may walk or cycle home unsupervised. Children who use the school buses are escorted to the bus by the teachers.

Any child who is uncollected will be taken to the main entrance. Please let us know if you are going to be late.

At Ysgol Rhoscolyn we attempt to plan experiences that will extend this learning and plan a curriculum which is appropriate to the child’s stage of learning.

Children’s interests, ideas and experiences form the basis of the early years curriculum and learning through play is given a high profile. Pupils are taught in a light and spacious learning environment and are provided with activities which will stimulate their learning and increase their knowledge and understanding of the world. They are encouraged to use their senses, explore natural materials and work together sharing ideas and resources.

The classroom is a pleasant and friendly learning environment in which pupils are encouraged to work co-operatively with adults and fellow pupils. Their opinions are valued and encouraged and their work is displayed in and around the classroom.

Much is made of the surrounding countryside and the natural beauty of Rhoscolyn. Pupils frequently enjoy short walks and outdoor excursions.

Early Years staff place great emphasis on the individuality of each child and in turn our children feel proud and valued members of our Early Years Class.

About our school

Rhoscolyn promotes an approach that is learner-centred and skills-focussed, building upon an exemplary Foundation Phase and links effectively with a sound transition from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3 and the Learning Pathways programme.

The school’s curriculum is designed to deliver the Government’s wider aims, including the promotion of:

Education for sustainable development and global citizenship

The world of work and entrepreneurship

Healthy eating and physical activity

Personal and Social Education

Personal and Social Education (PSE) is the process of helping learners to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding they need to live confident, healthy, independent lives. Learners are also helped to clarify their personal values and attitudes in relation to those held by other people and society in general.

The Skills Framework

The skills framework provides guidance about continuity and progression in thinking, number, information and communication technology (ICT) and communication for learners from 3-19 and beyond. These are skills that will enable learners of any age to become successful, whether in school, the workplace, at home or elsewhere and at Rhoscolyn they are firmly embedded into the experience of learners across the curriculum.

The framework is made up of four sections – the development of thinking, number, ICT and communication across the curriculum. It aims to use language in common with statements relating to other areas of education – for example, the Foundation Phase learning outcomes and that of the Key Skills qualifications (Levels 1 and 2) – so that each complements and reinforces the other. The three wider Key Skills: working with others, improving own learning and performance and problem-solving, are integrated in the Skills Framework, most notably in the development of thinking.

Learner Entitlement

Rhoscolyn teaches all programmes of study and frameworks in ways appropriate to learners’ developing maturities and abilities. Pupils experience a variety of styles to extend their learning. We present material in ways suitable for the children’s age, experience, understanding and prior achievement to engage them in the learning process. Sufficient flexibility exists within our curriculum to meet the needs of all learners. For pupils working at higher levels, greater challenge is incorporated by presenting material in ways which extend breadth and depth of study. The level of demand may also be increased through the development and application of communication, number, information and communication technology (ICT) and thinking skills across the curriculum. At Rhoscolyn we provide a meaningful, relevant and motivating curriculum for our pupils and we aim to meet the specific needs of learners and further their all-round development.

Curriculum

Literacy

Rhoscolyn pupils become confident, coherent and engaging speakers, working as individuals and as members of a group. Pupils take part in exciting drama and role-play activities, developing their experiences from the early years with a range of colourful puppets and storybooks. Pupils develop as active and responsive listeners in a wide range of situations.

Children are encouraged to become fluent readers – the school’s comprehensive reading schemes provide for the needs of all our children. They experience a progressively wide range of demanding texts, for enjoyment and information, so that they develop into fluent and effective readers.

We aim for our pupils to become competent writers, writing clearly and coherently in a range of forms and for a range of purposes. Many children enjoy participating in our monthly Young Writers’ Competition. The school is proud of its Basic Skills Agency Quality Mark for its provision of English Literacy.

Mathematics

Our aim is for our pupils to develop positive attitudes towards Mathematics by thinking and solving, reasoning and understanding real life problems.

They will do this by extending their use of the number system, counting reliably and calculating fluently with all four number operations. We teach them problem solving using mental and written methods of calculation, estimation strategies and the appropriate use of calculators.

Towards the end of Key Stage 2 they are expected to be able to select, discuss, explain and present Mathematics using an increasing range of language, diagrams and charts.

Lessons are presented using the latest interactive technology. We aim to make Mathematics at Rhoscolyn interesting, enjoyable and accessible for all our pupils.

Science

Science at Rhoscolyn fosters curiosity and creativity, and is interesting, enjoyable, relevant and challenging for pupils. We enable learners to initiate, explore and share ideas, and extend, refine and apply their skills, knowledge and understanding in new situations. We allow time for thinking, peer discussion and reflection.

Pupils find out about:

The Sustainable Earth – planets in the solar system, materials around them, and the importance of recycling…

Electricity – drawing circuit diagrams, constructing electrical circuits and varying current…

Forces – magnets, paper aeroplanes, hot air balloons, using forcemeters, gravity, friction, air resistance…

Sound – vibrating objects, understanding pitch and volume, how sound travels…

Light – mirrors, periscopes, shadow puppets, shadows…

Independence and Interdependence of Organisms – food chains, local environment, nutrition, exercise, plants, minibeasts…

Curriculum

Geography

At Rhoscolyn we aim to foster in children a sense of wonder of places and the world about them. Through the study of our Welsh locality, the world beyond, different environments and events in the news, pupils will develop their understanding of what places are like and how and why they change.

In KS1 children follow a character called Nia on a journey to different localities. Later, we look in more depth at our coastal region and its changing landscape, rivers, weather and where people live. By studying contrasting localities like villages in India and Botswana, pupils become aware of different levels of economic developments outside the United Kingdom.

History

Our aim is to guide your child on a journey through time. In KS1, work is based on the child’s experiences, covering themes such as toys, houses, the family and transport. KS2 begin with a study of Ancient Egyptian Civilization, pupils learn about Tutankhamun’s ‘curse’ and decode ancient hieroglyphs. Pupils learn about Wales in Celtic times, comparing our lives with the way people lived in the past. Next, pupils chart the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, investigating what can be learnt from the grand ruins in Rome and from smaller scale sites in our own locality. Pupils learn of the Welsh princes and their battles against King Edward I, visiting one of his splendid North Wales castles. Then, they discover life in Tudor times and study some of the major changes that occurred during Queen Victoria’s reign. The historical journey ends with two modules on the twentieth century. The first will examine aspects of the Second World War, then an investigation of the latter part of the century, learning about the lives of contemporary figures, the space race, and the birth of the high-tech world in which we live.

Curriculum

Information and Communications Technology

We aim to develop in our pupils a confidence and competence in the use of ICT, essential to their success in education and the world of work. ICT is fully integrated into the school’s curriculum, we believe that the subject should be embedded into everyday learning, therefore pupils are given the opportunity to develop their skills in ICT through numeracy, literacy, science, the arts, design and technology and humanities. Every classroom at Rhoscolyn has an interactive whiteboard. Years 5 and 6 have a pupil / laptop ratio of 1:2.

Music

Rhoscolyn enables learners to engage with, and enjoy making music. Pupils develop musical skills relating to the control, manipulation and presentation of sound. These skills include singing and playing instruments; improvising, composing and arranging music; and listening to and appraising music. Our annual Christmas Show is one of the highlights of the community’s festive calendar.

Religious Education

RE in KS1 is practical and colourful, teaching children about people’s faiths and ways of life. Later on, Rhoscolyn engages pupils with fundamental questions, exploring religious beliefs, teachings and practice and encouraging personal responses. We present the beliefs of the World’s great religions, always encouraging children to draw comparisons with the predominantly Christian locality in which they live. Pupils learn about artefacts and places of importance to believers and consider human experiences too.

Curriculum

Art

Creativity flourishes at Rhoscolyn, where pupils are engaged with the work of artists, craftworkers and designers.

Art and design stimulates creativity and imagination and challenges pupils to make judgements and practical decisions. Using a variety of materials and processes such as, textiles, collage, 3D sculpture, painting, printmaking, batik and sketchbook work, they communicate their ideas and feelings through tactile, visual and sensory language. In KS1 children develop skills in a range of media, including collage, clay work, weaving and modelling, and always enjoy the ‘finger puppet’ module! In KS2 artwork often complements work shown in local and national art galleries - visits have included excursions to Oriel Mon and the Tate Gallery.

Rhoscolyn prides itself on the quality of the children’s artwork and displays many outstanding pieces in its gallery and online. Artists are regularly invited to enrich learners’ experiences. For those who want to extend themselves further, we offer a weekly after-school Art Club. We encourage pupils to work with creative abandon whilst following in the footsteps of Picasso, Pollock, Warhol, Miro, Goldsworthy, Heron, Hepworth and Moore.

Curriculum

Sport

Physical Education encourages learners to explore and develop the physical skills essential to taking part in a variety of different activities. Building on these are opportunities to be creative and imaginative in gymnastic and dance activities.

Through adventurous activities, they learn how to swim and feel safe in water and how to read a map or follow trails, so that it becomes safer to go further afield and explore the seashore and countryside. Competitive activities offer the chance to learn games skills and play in a team, as well as how to run faster, jump higher, and throw further. Pupils begin to understand that physical education is about learning how to feel healthy and stay fit while having fun, and knowing how these different types of activities help them to stay that way.

Every school year our Physical Education calendar includes: hockey, football, rugby, dance, fitness, gymnastics, swimming, cricket, basketball, netball, athletics and outdoor education. We host the county’s annual long distance running event in our extensive grounds. During the school year we also provide opportunities for children to attend residential courses in outdoor education.

During the course of the year, we hold after school clubs in football, rugby, cricket and basketball. The Urdd after-school club takes children skiing, rock climbing and canoeing amongst many more activities.

Competitive sports are encouraged. We regularly enter teams into rugby, football and cricket tournaments, along with the annual swimming gala.

All aspects of Physical Education are compulsory, and an appropriate kit is required for lessons. Trainers are required for outdoor lessons and sessions in the Sports Hall, whilst children take part in gymnastic and dance lessons in bare feet. A written request must be provided by pupils who wish to be excused from a PE session for medical reasons.

Curriculum

Design and Technology

Technology at Rhoscolyn is innovative and exciting. Pupils are made aware of achievements in the world of design and technology and the big ideas that have shaped the world. They are encouraged to be creative and innovative whilst being aware of the issues relating to sustainability and environmental issues in the twenty-first century. Pupils enjoy designing and making fleecy hats for outdoor wear – great for the winter weather conditions on Anglesey! Also they delight in adapting recipes to develop healthier lifestyle choices, and create 3D structures using pneumatic systems - always referring to the detailed designs they will have first produced using a specialised software package.

Including all Learners

Under the requirements of equal opportunities legislation covering race, gender and disability at Rhoscolyn we aim:

To eliminate discrimination and harassment and promote positive attitudes.

To promote equal opportunities and encourage participation in all areas of school life.

We believe that every learner should develop a sense of personal and cultural identity that is receptive and respectful towards others. Subjects are planned to develop the knowledge and understanding, skills, values and attitudes which enable our pupils to participate in our multi-ethnic society.

In preparing our pupils for life as global citizens, we work to reduce environmental and social barriers and provide an inclusive curriculum which offers opportunities for all learners to achieve in school.

We work with specialist services to ensure relevant and accessible learning experiences for all. For pupils with disabilities, we strive to improve access to the curriculum,

increase access to education and associated services and

provide information in a range of formats.

Curriculum

Using the Welsh Language

The Local Education Authority operates a bilingual policy in all schools within Anglesey. The aim is to develop the ability of pupils and students within the county to be confidently bilingual in order that they may be full members of the bilingual society of which they are part. Here at Rhoscolyn, we reflect and reinforce the language policy in our administration, social life and pastoral arrangements as well as our academic provision.

Nursery Education

To ensure, through sensitively structured provision and organisation, that each child receives a firm foundation in Welsh in order to enable him/ her in due course to attain the aim of full bilingualism.

KS1

To build on the Welsh language foundations laid through nursery education, to consolidate and develop the mother tongue of children who are Welsh learners and extend the child from a Welsh speaking home’s competence in English.

KS2

To consolidate and develop each child’s Welsh and English capabilities in all aspects, both active and receptive, so as to ensure that he/ she can speak, read and write fluently and confidently in both languages on transferring to secondary school.

Latecomers to KS2 attend a short (6 week) course at a Welsh Language Unit where they undergo intensive instruction in the Welsh language designed to equip them with the language skills needed to benefit from all that Rhoscolyn has to offer.

Your Child’s Progress

Assessment

The class teacher will assess your child throughout the year, plotting your child’s development using our secure online system which allows us to track each pupil’s progress throughout his/her time at Rhoscolyn. In addition, pupils complete written assessments to gauge progress in literacy and numeracy at the beginning and end of each school year. Data from these tasks assist the teachers to make statutory assessments in the summer term of children in Year 2 and Year 6.

ADDITIONAL NEEDS

Some children at Rhoscolyn have additional learning needs of one kind or another. We have a number of staff who are able to support the class teacher in meeting these needs. The school has a Special Educational Needs co-ordinator, or SENCo who is responsible for ensuring that these special needs are met. The SENCo works very closely with parents to help the child as much as possible. Parents are encouraged to share any concerns they may have about their child’s learning with the class teacher or SENCo.

The School Community

Home-School Agreements

We have a Home-School Agreement that we ask all parents to sign. It is a statement of our aims and values, outlining everyone’s responsibilities regarding your child’s education. A copy of the Home-School Agreement can be found in the pocket at the end of this prospectus.

Governors

The Governing Body of the school are all volunteers who meet regularly to support the Headteacher in the leadership and management of the school. Our governors are all representatives of the local community, parents, teachers, councillors and local businesses.

A list of the current Governing Body can be found in the pocket at the end of this prospectus.

Children

We believe that the children play a key role in the development of the school. We regularly consult them on matters and are keen to find out their opinions. We have an active School Council that consists of elected members from different year groups. They meet regularly with the Deputy Headteacher to discuss matters and report directly to the Headteacher.

Welfare and Safety

Behaviour

We aim for all our children to be well-behaved at all times, with good self-discipline. To do this we need to work in partnership with parents. To support this, we have a positive behaviour management policy, which highlights the school rules, along with systems of rewards to encourage good behaviour. If a child breaks a school rule, a detailed list of sanctions clearly outlines the appropriate action to follow.

Standards of good behaviour are expected at all times. All children are reminded that bullying and racism are not tolerated at school.

Medicines

If your child is well enough to attend school but still needs to take medicine, the staff are not permitted to administer it. Generally, if a medicine needs to be taken 3 times a day, it can be given at home before school and again when your child comes home (with the third dose before bed). If you do need to come to the school to give your child medicine during the day, please contact the Headteacher.

If your child needs an inhaler pump, then please inform the Headteacher in writing. The inhaler must remain with your child at all times, with his/ her name and Year clearly displayed.

Illness at school

We have a team of trained first aiders at the school who can deal with minor injuries. If your child is taken ill or has an accident at school, we shall contact you. It is vitally important that the school has a current address and telephone number/ mobile number where parents / carers may be contacted in case of emergency. If we are unable to contact you or your representative, we shall act in the best interests of your child. This may involve taking them to hospital.

Illness at home

If your child is taken ill at home and is unable to attend school for any reason please inform us as soon as possible via the school secretary or answerphone.

Safety

Parents who drive their children to school are not permitted to park on the yellow lines outside school (including bus bays). To do so is illegal and dangerous for our children. We often have visits from the police to enforce restrictions.

No dogs are permitted in the school grounds. Smoking is strictly prohibited.

Pastoral

It is very important to us that your child is always happy whilst at Rhoscolyn. If for any reason, you wish to discuss any concerns you may have about your child with a teacher, please do so. If a problem arises at home which may affect your child’s education, again, please come and talk to us in confidence.

School Nurse

We have a team of school nurses who regularly visit the school to carry out a range of hearing, vision and dental tests. Parents are always informed in advance and may withdraw their child from the medical if they wish.

General Information

Attendance

All school age children are required by law to attend school at all times. Parents who do not send their children to school will be referred to the Educational Welfare Officer who may decide to visit the home to interview the parent/carer. Attendance registers are checked very carefully by the Educational Welfare Officer on a regular basis.

If your child is absent, the school will decide whether it is ‘authorised’ or ‘unauthorised’. Any absence that is not valid (e.g. going shopping, staying at home for a birthday, going on holiday without the Headteacher’s permission) is marked as ‘unauthorised’.

Valid reasons for ‘authorised’ absences include: illness, medical or dental appointments, family bereavements, or any leave granted by the Headteacher.

Absence In Term Time

In the unlikely event that you need to take your child out of school during term time, you must write to the Headteacher asking for permission. Taking your child out of school for a family holiday during term time is strongly discouraged as it will disrupt your child’s education. If the Headteacher decides to give you permission, then he will write to you to let you know.

Punctuality

Parents have a legal responsibility to ensure their child attends school on time. It is essential that children are punctual and attend regularly. Persistent lateness or absence will adversely affect your child’s learning as well as their classmates’. Any child that misses the beginning of the day is at an immediate disadvantage. Please ensure that you child arrives in school before 9.00am.

It is very important that children are collected from school at 3:10pm. If you know you are going to be unavoidably late, please let us know so that a special arrangement can be made. Any child who is not collected by 3.40pm may be taken to the Social Services Department for Uncollected Children.

Parents should be aware that the school cannot be responsible for supervising children left unattended on the premises, except in the ten minute period before the beginning of the school day.

Children’s Property

We expect the children to learn to take responsibility for their property and respect one another’s. To help us with this, please make sure:

* All clothing and equipment is clearly marked with your child’s name.

* Your child does not bring to school any item that is not necessary (such as toys, mobile phones etc.).

* Your child reports to his/her teacher any item that is missing. We will return to your child any lost item that has a name on it. All un-named items will be taken to Lost Property.

* Your child asks to look for lost items in the Lost Property collection. At the end of each term, any uncollected items are recycled.

Making complaints

Should you be unhappy about anything at Rhoscolyn, you should always discuss it in the first instance with the class teacher. If you are not happy with the outcome then you can make an appointment with the Headteacher. If your complaint has still not been resolved to your satisfaction, then you may contact the chairperson of the governing body. This can be done in writing by leaving a letter in the school post box, addressed to the Chair of Governors, c/o Ysgol Rhoscolyn. A copy of the complaints procedure is available upon request.

Travelling to school

Rhoscolyn has transport provision from the Valley district and Holyhead area daily.

The LEA provides free school transport for full time pupils aged 4-11 years as follows.

for primary school pupils residing 1.5 miles or more from the school in whose catchment area they reside

For pupils with special educational needs or on medical grounds or other individual circumstances, which the LEA considers, make free transport necessary.

For pupils who attend a school which is not their catchment area school if that is the nearest school to the home, and if the distance from home to the school is 2 miles or more for pupils under 8 years old or 3 miles or more for pupils aged 8 years or older.

Except for those children in (iii) above it is expected for a child to walk a reasonable distance to meet any transport provided.

Primary school pupils living within 1.5 miles of school

Transport is provided at a reduced cost of 10 pence per journey for pupils who live within 1.5 miles of school.

Attending a school other than the school serving the catchment area in which they reside

Pupils who are granted permission to attend a school other than the school serving the catchment area in which they reside are normally required to make their own transport arrangements and to meet the cost involved. The LEA will consider applications in respect of such pupils for permission to take up vacant seats on school contract vehicles at a cost, which corresponds, to the cost of public transport. (This arrangement is not available to pupils who have the use of public service transport). The cost of public transport is currently 80p return per pupil, per day.

Transport is not provided for part time nursery pupils.

Enquiries regarding any matter relating to the provision of school transport should be made to the Transport Officer at the Education Office.

NATIONAL CURRICULUM ASSESSMENT RESULTS FOR KS1 AND 2, INCLUDING COMPARABLE DATA

The medium of instruction

English, Science and Mathematics are taught through the medium of English. The Arts, Humanities and Technology are taught bilingually.

At Rhoscolyn we ensure that each pupil uses both languages as a medium of learning in varying degrees according to the needs of each individual.

Homework

At Rhoscolyn we believe that homework can enhance the quality of a child’s education. Children are required to complete a task at home to complement what they have been learning in class.

Sex education

In Key Stage 1, children learn all about themselves and why they are special. They learn about life cycles of plants and animals and the differences between themselves and others. Throughout all of this, children learn about the importance of a healthy lifestyle, personal hygiene, diet, rest and personal safety.

As they get older, their sex education is linked to the work they do in Personal, Social, Health Education and Citizenship (PSHEC). Children begin to ask questions about themselves and are allowed to do so in a supportive and sensitive environment. When the children enter Year 6, they will begin to learn about the basic facts of human reproduction, using appropriate video films and support and advice from the school nurse.

Parents have the right to withdraw their child from specific elements of the Sex Education program but must do so in writing. The Headteacher will then arrange a meeting to discuss the matter with you.

Assembly

We believe assemblies play an important part of a child’s life in the school community. An assembly takes place every day, either for the whole school or in class. We aim to incorporate the moral and religious principles that are held in common by religions, while maintaining the broadly Christian approach that is required by law. Children are encouraged to take an active part in our assemblies and sometimes lead them as part of a class assembly.

Parents may withdraw their child wholly or partly from attending any RE or collective worship. A request must be made in writing to the Headteacher who will invite you to discuss the matter to avoid misunderstanding:

the religious issues about which a parent would object the child being taught

the practical implications of withdrawal

the circumstances in which it would be reasonable to accommodate parents wishes

if a parent will require any advanced notice of such issue in the future and if so, how much

Educational visits and extra curricular instruction

Rhoscolyn provides the best possible educational opportunities. We believe that day to day education should be free of any compulsory charge to parents and guardians. We are eager to make the most of our rich local environment, our heritage and the excellent facilities on offer in large cities by educating our pupils outside the classroom and school’s perimeters.

At Rhoscolyn we recognise that some of the activities that will enrich your child’s time with us will need to be supported by financial contributions in whole or in part from parents. Rhoscolyn’s concern is to keep financial contributions to a reasonable minimum and to ensure as far as possible that all children are able to take part, irrespective of their circumstances. For visits outside school time parents will be charged for all allowable costs.
Parents of children who chose to undertake extra instrumental lessons will be charged at a subsidised cost.
A full charge will be made for the loss or damage to books or educational equipment.

Rhoscolyn pupils produce many examples of first class art and design products. Pupils develop their entrepreneurial skills by selling Artwork in the school gallery. Parents who wish to possess these finished products or prints will be charged accordingly!

Your Child’s Progress

Assessment

Annual Reports

You will receive an annual report every July, detailing the progress your child has made during the year. The report covers each of the National Curriculum subjects and identifies targets for improvement for the following year. At the end of Year 2 and Year 6, the report also contains details of your child’s statutory assessment level.

Open Evenings

You will be invited to a termly meeting to discuss your child’s progress with the class teacher. These meetings are held in the evening and are a very important part of your child’s education. In the summer term, you will be given the opportunity of discussing your child’s annual report. Parents are of course always welcome to discuss matters with their class teacher at other times during the year but are requested to arrange an appointment beforehand. We want to work closely with parents and be partners in the learning process, so that we can provide your child with the best possible education.

Additional Needs

Some children at Rhoscolyn have additional learning needs of one kind or another. We have a number of staff who are able to support the class teacher in meeting these needs. The school has a Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator, or SENCo who is responsible for ensuring that these special needs are met. The SENCo works very closely with parents to help the child as much as possible. Parents are encouraged to share any concerns they may have about their child’s learning with the class teacher or SENCo.

Our extensive grounds

Our grounds provide the ideal canvas for creative play, nature studies, growing plants and vegetables and are considered extensions to our classrooms. Each class tends the gardens in turn, gaining valuable insight and knowledge of horticultural issues. The gardens are supported by the School’s Garden Army of Volunteers, and Rhoscolyn currently houses:

a living willow dragon, a wildlife garden,

Kitchen garden, a wetland area and seaside garden.

We are proud to have achieved gold medal status with Gwynedd and Anglesey’s Green Schools.

Mynediad

Y Cyfnod Sylfaen – 3 i 5 oed

Meithrin

Yn Rhoscolyn mae plant meithrin yn mynychu sesiynau yn rhan-amser yn y mis Medi yn dilyn eu trydydd pen-blwydd.

Derbyn

Mae’r ysgol yn derbyn disgyblion tro cyntaf yn ystod y mis Medi yn dilyn eu pedwerydd pen-blwydd, yn unol â pholisi’r AALL. Yn unol â Pholisi Derbyn y Sir, mae’n rhaid i bob cais gael ei gyflwyno erbyn Mawrth 1af ac erbyn diwedd Mawrth anfonir llythyr yn cadarnhau a dderbynnir y plentyn ai peidio.

Yn Ysgol Rhoscolyn rydym yn adnabod y ffaith bod plant ifainc eisoes wedi dehrau dysgu ymhell cyn dod i mewn i addysg gynnar. Yn y blynyddoedd cynnar, mae dysgu’r plant yn datblygu’n gyflymach nag ar unrhyw adeg arall. Mae ar blant angen amser i chwarae, i fyfyrio, i ailadrodd, ac i siarad â chyfoedion ac oedolion. Yn Ysgol Rhoscolyn rydym yn ceisio cynllunio profiadau a fydd yn ymestyn y dysgu hwn a chynllunio cwricwlwm sy’n briodol ar gyfer cyfnod dysgu’r plentyn.

Mae diddordebau, syniadau a phrofiadau’r plant yn ffurfio sylfeini cwricwlwm y blynyddoedd cynnar a rhoddir proffil uchel i ddysgu drwy chwarae. Addysgir y disgyblion mewn amgylchedd dysgu golau ac eang a darperir hwy â gweithgareddau a fydd yn ysgogi eu dysgu ac yn cynyddu eu gwybodaeth a’u dealltwriaeth o’r byd. Anogir hwy i ddefnyddio eu synhwyrau, archwilio deunyddiau naturiol a gweithio gyda’i gilydd gan rannu syniadau ac adnoddau.

Mae’r dosbarth yn amgylchedd dysgu dymunol a chyfeillgar lle’r anogir y disgyblion i weithio ar y cyd ag oedolion a chyd-ddisgyblion. Gwerthfawrogir ac anogir eu barn ac arddangosir eu gwaith yn y dosbarth ac o’i amgylch.

Gwneir yn fawr o’r wlad o amgylch a phrydferthwch naturiol Rhoscolyn. Mae’r disgyblion yn aml yn mwynhau teithiau cerdded byr a gwibdeithiau awyr agored.

Mae staff y Blynyddoedd cynnar yn gosod pwyslais mawr ar unigoliaeth bob plentyn ac yn eu tro mae ein plant yn teimlo’n aelodau balch a gwerthfawr o’n Dosbarth Blynyddoedd Cynnar.

Derbyniadau ar wahân i’r meithrin neu’r dosbarth derbyn

Rydym yn gwybod y gall ymuno ag ysgol newydd weithiau fod yn brofiad pryderus. Byddwn yn gwneud y cyfan a allwn i’ch cynorthwyo gyda’r broses. Os oes arnoch eisiau gwneud cais am le yn Rhoscolyn, yna mae angen i chi gysylltu ag Ysgrifenyddes yr Ysgol, a fydd yn trefnu apwyntiad gyda’r Pennaeth.

Os ydych yn ystyried gwneud cais am le i’ch plentyn yn ein hysgol, yna mae pob croeso i chi edrych o amgylch yn ystod neu ar ôl y diwrnod ysgol. Cynghorir chi i drefnu apwyntiad i sichau y bydd amser ar gael i ateb unrhyw gwestiynau a all fod gennych.

Cyn ac ar ôl ysgol

Mae plant sy’n cofrestru ar gyfer ein Clwb Brecwast yn cyrraedd yn yr ysgol ar gyfer 8.00 y bore, yn mwynhau brecwast maethlon yn neuadd yr ysgol, ac arolygir hwy yn chwarae gan staff y Clwb Brecwast tan 8:50 y bore.

Mae plant sy’n dewis peidio â mynychu’r Clwb Brecwast yn cyrraedd yr ysgol rhwng 8:50 y bore a 9.00 y bore, a goruchwylir hwy gan yr athrawon, a fydd yn ymdrechu i beri eu bod ar gael ar yr adeg hon i ddelio gydag unrhyw faterion dydd i ddydd neu ymholiadau a all fod gennych.

Mae gan rieni gyfrifoldeb cyfreithiol i sicrhau bod eu plentyn yn mynychu’r ysgol mewn pryd. Bydd bod yn hwyr neu’n absennol yn barhaus yn cael effaith wael ar ddysgu eich plentyn yn ogystal â dysgu eu cyd-ddisgyblion. Mae unrhyw blentyn sy’n colli dechrau’r diwrnod dan anfantais yn syth. A fyddech mor garedig â sicrhau bod eich plentyn yn cyrraedd yn yr ysgol cyn 9:00 y bore.

Rydym yn gofyn i rieni plant iau fynd gyda’ch plentyn i Fynedfa’r dosbarth Meithrin a’r dosbarth Derbyn yng nghefn yr ysgol, lle bydd yr athro dosbarth yn barod i gyfarch y plant o 8.50 y bore. Gall plant hŷn aros ar yr iard heb oruchwyliaeth rhieni. Gofynnir i’r rhieni beidio â mynd gyda’u plentyn i’r prif adeilad, fodd bynnag mae Swyddfa’r Ysgrifenyddes ar agor pe bai ar y rhieni angen cymorth.

Ar ddiwedd y diwrnod ysgol, hebryngir y plant iau i giât yr ysgol gan eu hathrawon a fydd yn gollwng eich plentyn yn unig pan allant eich gweld chi neu’r gofalydd enwebedig. Gall plant hŷn gerdded neu seiclo adref heb eu goruchwylio. Mae plant sy’n defnyddio bysiau’r ysgol yn cael eu hebrwng at y bws gan yr athrawon.

Eir ag unrhyw blentyn sydd heb ei nôl i’r brif fynedfa i aros am eu rhieni. Rhowch wybod i ni os byddwch yn hwyr, os gwelwch yn dda.

____________________________________

Mae Rhoscolyn yn hybu dull sy’n ddysgwr-ganolog ac yn sgil-ffocysedig, gan adeiladu ar Gam Sylfaen rhagorol ac sy’n cysylltu’n effeithlon â newid cadarn o Gyfnod Allweddol 2 i Gyfnod Allweddol 3 a’r rhaglen Llwybrau Dysgu.

Mae cwricwlwm yr ysgol wedi ei gynllunio i drosglwyddo amcanion ehangach y Llywodraeth, yn cynnwys hybu:

· Addysg ar gyfer datblygu cynaladwy a dinasyddiaeth fyd-eang

· Byd gwaith ac entrepreneuriaeth

· Bwyta iach a gweithgaredd corfforol

Addysg Bersonol a Chymdeithasol

Addysg Bersonol a Chymdeithasol (ABACH) yw’r broses o gynorthwyo dysgwyr i ddatblygu’r sgiliau, yr wybodaeth a’r ddealltwriaeth y mae arnynt ei hangen i fyw bywydau hyderus, iach ac annibynnol. Cynorthwyir y dysgwyr hefyd i egluro eu gwerthoedd a’u hagweddau personol mewn perthynas â’r rhai a ddelir gan bobl eraill a chymdeithas yn gyffredinol.

Y Fframwaith Sgiliau

Mae’r fframwaith sgiliau yn darparu arweiniad ynghylch parhad a dilyniant mewn meddwl, rhif, technoleg gwybodaeth a chyfathrebu (TGaCH)a chyfathrebu ar gyfer dysgwyr o 3-19 a thu draw. Sgiliau yw’r rhain a fydd yn galluogi dysgwyr o unrhyw oedran i ddod yn llwyddiannus, boed yn yr ysgol, y gweithle, gartref neu yn rhywle arall ac yn Rhoscolyn maent wedi eu plannu’n gadarn ym mhrofiad dysgwyr ar draws y cwricwlwm.

Mae’r fframwaith wedi ei ffurfio o bedair adran – datblygiad meddwl, rhif, TGaCh a chyfathrebu ar draws y cwricwlwm. Mae’n amcanu at ddefnyddio iaith ar y cyd â datganiadau perthynol i feysydd addysg eraill – er enghraifft, canlyniadau dysgu’r Cam Sylfaenol ac un y cymwysterau Sgiliau Allweddol (Lefelau 1 a 2) – fel bod pob un yn cyflenwi ac yn atgyfnerthu’r llall. Mae’r tair Sgil Allweddol ehangach: gweithio gydag eraill, gwella dysgu a pherfformiad yr hunan a datrys problemau, wedi eu cyfuno yn yFframwaith Sgiliau, yn fwyaf nodedig yn natblygiad meddwl.

Hawl Dysgwyr

Mae Rhoscolyn yn addysgu pob rhaglen astudio a fframwaith mewn ffyrdd sy’n briodol ar gyfer aeddfedrwydd a gallu’r dysgwyr sy’n datblygu. Mae’r disgyblion yn profi amrywiaeth o arddulliau i ymestyn eu dysgu. Rydym yn cyflwyno deunydd mewn modd sy’n addas ar gyfer oed, profiad, dealltwriaeth a chyflawniad blaenorol y disgyblion i’w hymrwymo yn y broses ddysgu. Mae digon o hyblygrwydd yn bodoli o fewn ein cwricwlwm i gwrdd ag anghenion pob dysgwr. Ar gyfer disgyblion sy’n gweithio ar lefelau uwch, ymgorfforir mwy o her drwy gyflwyno deunydd mewn ffyrdd sy’n ymestyn lled a dyfnder yr astudio. Gall lefel y galw hefyd gael ei chynyddu drwy ddatblygu a chymhwyso cyfathrebu, rhif, technoleg gwybodaeth a chyfathrebu (TGaCh) a sgiliau meddwl ar draws y cwricwlwm. Yn Rhoscolyn rydym yn darparu cwricwlwm ystyrlon, perthnasol a symbylus ar gyfer ein disgyblion ac rydym yn amcanu at gyfarfod ag anghenion penodol dysgwyr a hyrwyddo eu datblygiad cyffredinol.

Llythrennedd

Mae disgyblion Rhoscolyn yn dod yn siaradwyr hyderus, cydlynus a dengar, yn gweithio fel unigolion ac fel aelodau o grŵp. Mae’r disgyblion yn cymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau drama a chwarae rhan cyffrous, gan ddatblygu eu profiadau o’r blynyddoedd cynnar gydag ystod o bypedau a llyfrau storïau lliwgar. Mae’r disgyblion yn datblygu yn wrandawyr gweithredol ac ymatebol mewn ystod eang o sefyllfaoedd.

Anogir y disgyblion i ddod yn ddarllenwyr rhugl – mae cynlluniau darllen hollgynhwysfawr yr ysgol yn darparu ar gyfer anghenion ein disgyblion oll. Maent yn profi ystod gynyddol eang o gyd-destunau sy’n gofyn llawer, ar gyfer mwynhad gwybodaeth, fel eu bod yn datblygu yn ddarllenwyr rhugl ac effeithlon.

Rydym yn amcanu i’n disgyblion ddod yn ysgrifenwyr medrus, sy’n ysgrifennu’n glir ac yn gydlynol mewn ystod o ffurfiau ac ar gyfer ystod o bwrpasau. Mae llawer o ddisgyblion yn mwynhau cymryd rhan yn fisol yn ein Cystadleuaeth Ysgrifenwyr Ifainc. Mae’r ysgol yn falch o’i Marc Ansawdd Asiantaeth Sgiliau Sylfaenol am ei darpariaeth Llythrennedd Saesneg.

Mathemateg

Ein bwriad yw i’n disgyblion ddatblygu agweddau cadarnhaol tuag at Fathemateg drwy feddwl a datrys, rhesymu a deall problemau bywyd go iawn.

Byddant yn gwneud hynny drwy ymestyn eu defnydd o’r gyfundrefn rifau, cyfrif yn ddibynadwy a chyfrifo’n rhugl gyda’r cyfan o’r pedwar gweithrediad rhif. Rydym yn addysgu iddynt ddatrys problemau gan ddefnyddio dulliau pen ac ysgrifenedig o gyfrifo, strategaethau amcangyfrif a’r defnydd priodol o gyfrifianellau.

Tua diwedd Cyfnod Allweddol 2 disgwylir iddynt allu dethol, trafod, esbonio a chyflwyno Mathemateg yn defnyddio ystod gynyddol o iaith, diagramau a siartiau.

Cyflwynir gwersi’n defnyddio’r dechnoleg ryngweithiol ddiweddaraf. Rydym yn amcanu at wneud Mathemateg yn Rhoscolyn yn ddiddorol, yn bleserus ac yn hygyrch ar gyfer ein disgyblion i gyd.

Gwyddoniaeth

Mae Gwyddoniaeth yn Rhoscolyn yn mabwysiadu chwilfrydedd a chreadigrwydd, ac mae’n ddiddorol, yn bleserus, yn berthnasol ac yn heriol i’r disgyblion. Rydym yn galluogi dysgwyr i gychwyn, archwilio a rhannu syniadau, ac ymestyn, mireinio a chymhwyso eu sgiliau, eu gwybodaeth a’u dealltwriaeth yn eu sefyllfaoedd newydd. Rydym yn caniatáu amser ar gyfer meddwl, trafod gyda chyfoedion a myfyrio.

Mae’r disgyblion yn darganfod am:

· Y Byd Cynaliadwy – planedau yn y gyfundrefn heulol, defnyddiau o’u hamgylch, a phwysigrwydd ailgylchu ….

· Trydan – darlunio diagramau cylched, adeiladu cylchedau trydan ac amrywio cerrynt

· Grymoedd – magnedau, awyrennau papur, balwnau aer poeth, defnyddio mesuryddion grym, disgyrchiant, ffrithiant, gwrthsafiad aer…

· Sŵn- gwrthrychau dirgrynol, deall traw ac uchder, sut mae sŵn yn teithio…

· Golau – drychau, perisgopau, pypedau cysgod, cysgodion..

· Annibyniaeth a Rhyngddibyniaeth Organeddau – cadwynau bwyd, amgylchedd lleol, maeth, ymarfer, planhigion, bwystfilod bach… 5

Daearyddiaeth

Yn Rhoscolyn rydym yn amcanu at feithrin yn y disgyblion synnwyr o ryfeddod o leoedd a’r byd o’u hamgylch. Drwy astudio ein lleoliad Cymreig, y byd tu hwnt, gwahanol amgylcheddau a digwyddiadau yn y newyddion, bydd y disgyblion yn datblygu eu dealltwriaeth o sut rai yw lleoedd a sut a pham y maent yn newid.

Yn CA1 mae’r disgyblion yn dilyn cymeriad o’r enw Nia ar daith i wahanol leoliadau. Yn ddiweddarach rydym yn edrych mewn mwy o ddyfnder ar ein rhanbarth arfordirol a’i dirlun newidiol, afonydd, tywydd a lle mae pobl yn byw. Drwy astudio lleoliadau gwrthgyferbyniol megis pentrefi yn India a Botswana, mae’r disgyblion yn dod yn ymwybodol o wahanol lefelau o ddatblygiadau economaidd y tu allan i’r Deyrnas Unedig.

Hanes

Ein bwriad yw arwain eich plentyn ar daith drwy amser. Yn CA1, mae’r gwaith yn seiliedig ar brofiadau’r plentyn, yn cwmpasu themâu megis teganau, tai,y teulu a chludiant. Mae CA2 yn dechrau gydag astudiaeth o Wareiddiad Yr Hen Aifft, mae’r disgyblion yn dysgu am ‘felltith’ Tutankhamun ac yn datgodio hieroglyffau hynafol. Mae’r disgyblion yn dysgu am Gymru yn yr oes Geltaidd, yn cymharu ein bywydau gyda’r ffordd yr oedd pobl yn byw yn y gorffennol. Wedi hynny, mae’r disgyblion yn gwneud siart o esgyniad a chwymp yr Ymerodraeth Rufeinig, gan ymchwilio i’r hyn y gellir ei ddysgu o’r adfeilion gwych yn Rhufain ac o safleoedd ar raddfa lai yn ein hardal ni ein hunain. Mae’r disgyblion yn dysgu am dywysogion Cymru a’u brwydrau yn erbyn y Breninn Edward I, gan ymweld ag un o’i gestyll ardderchog yng Ngogledd Cymru. Yna, maent yn darganfod bywyd yn amser y Tuduriaid ac yn astudio rhai o’r prif newidiadau a ddigwyddodd yn ystod teyrnasiad y Frenhines Fictoria. Mae’r daith hanesyddol yn dod i ben gyda dau fodiwl ar yr ugeinfed ganrif. Bydd y cyntaf yn archwilio agweddau ar yr Ail Ryfel Byd, yna ymchwiliad o ran olaf y ganrif, yn dysgu am fywydau ffigurau cydoesol, y ras i’r gofod, a genedigaeth y byd uchel dechnolegol rydym ni’n byw ynddo.

Technoleg Gwybodaeth a Chyfathrebu

Rydym yn amcanu at ddatblygu yn ein disgyblion hyder a medr yn y defnydd o TGaCh, sy’n hanfodol i’w llwyddiant mewn addysg a byd gwaith. Mae TGaCh wedi ei gyfuno’n llawn yng nghwricwlwm yr ysgol , a chredwn y dylai’r pwnc fod wedi ei blannu mewn dysgu bob dydd, ac felly rhoddir y cyfle i’r disgyblion ddatblygu eu sgiliau mewn TGaCh drwy rifedd, llythrennedd, gwyddoniaeth, y celfyddydau, dylunio a thechnoleg a’r dyniaethau. Mae gan bob dosbarth yn Rhoscolyn fwrdd gwyn rhyngweithiol. Mae gan Flynyddoedd 5 a 6 gymhareb disgybl / gliniadur o 1:2.

Cerddoriaeth

Mae Rhoscolyn yn galluogi dysgwyr i ymrwymo mewn cerddoriaeth, a mwynhau gwneud cerddoriaeth. Mae’r disgyblion yn datblygu sgiliau cerddorol perthynol i reoli, trin a chyflwyno sŵn. Mae’r sgiliau hyn yn cynnwys canu a chanu offerynnau; cyfansoddi ar y pryd, cyfansoddi a threfnu cerddoriaeth; a gwrando ar gerddoriaeth a’i gwerthuso. Ein Sioe Nadolig flynyddol yw un o uchafbwyntiau calendr gwyliau’r gymuned.

Addysg Grefyddol

Mae AG yn CA1 yn ymarferol ac yn lliwgar, yn addysgu disgyblion am ffydd a ffyrdd o fyw pobl. Yn ddiweddarach, mae Rhoscolyn yn ymrwymo disgyblion gyda chwestiynau sylfaenol, gan archwilio credoau crefyddol, addysgu ac ymarfer ac annog ymatebion personol. Rydym yn cyflwyno credoau crefyddau mawr y Byd, gan annog y disgyblion bob amser i lunio cymariaethau gyda’r ardal Gristnogol yn bennaf lle maent yn byw. Mae’r disgyblion yn dysgu am arteffactau a lleoedd o bwysigrwydd i gredowyr ac yn ystyried profiadau dynol hefyd.

Celf

Mae gallu creadigol yn ffynnu yn Rhoscolyn, lle mae’r disgyblion wedi ymrwymo gyda gwaith artistiaid, crefftwyr a dylunwyr.

Mae celf a dylunio yn ysbarduno gallu creadigol a dychymyg ac yn herio’r disgyblion i ffurfio barn a gwneud penderfyniadau ymarferol. Gan ddefnyddio amrywiaeth o ddefnyddiau a phrosesau megis tecstiliau, collage, cerflunio 3D, paentio, gwneud printiau, gwaith batic a llyfr brasluniau, maent yn cyfathrebu eu syniadau a’u teimladau drwy iaith gyffyrddol, weledol a synhwyraidd. Yn CA1 mae’r disgyblion yn datblygu sgiliau mewn ystod o gyfryngau, yn cynnwys collage, gwaith clai, gwau a modelu, a phob amser yn mwynhau y modiwl ‘pypedau bys’! Yn CA2 mae gwaith celf yn aml yn cyflenwi’r gwaith a ddangosir mewn orielau celfyddydol lleol a chenedlaethol – mae ymweliadau wedi cynnwys gwibdeithiau i Oriel Môn ac Oriel y Tate.

Mae Rhoscolyn yn ymfalchïo yn ansawdd gwaith celf y disgyblion ac mae’n arddangos llawer o ddarnau nodedig yn ei horiel ac ar lein. Gwahoddir artistiaid yn rheolaidd i gyfoethogi profiadau’r dysgwyr. I’r rhai sydd arnynt eisiau eu hymestyn eu hunain ymhellach, rydym yn cynnig Clwb Celf wythnosol ar ôl ysgol. Rydym yn annog y disgyblion i weithio gydag afiaith creadigol wrth ddilyn yn ôl troed Picasso, Pollock, Warhol, Miro, Goldsworthy, Heron, Hepworth a Moore.

Chwaraeon

Mae Addysg Gorfforol yn annog dysgwyr i archwilio a datblygu’r sgiliau corfforol sy’n hanfodol ar gyfer cymryd rhan mewn amrywiaeth o wahanol weithgareddau. Yn adeiladu ar y rhain ceir cyfleoedd i fod yn greadigol ac yn ddychmygus mewn gweithgareddau gymnasteg a dawns.

Drwy weithgareddau anturus, maent yn dysgu sut i nofio a theimlo’n ddiogel yn y dŵr a sut i ddarllen map neu ddilyn llwybrau, fel ei bod yn dod yn fwy diogel i fynd ymhellach ac archwilio glan y môr a’r wlad. Mae gweithgareddau cystadleuol yn cynnig y cyfle i ddysgu sgiliau gemau a chwarae mewn tîm , yn ogystal â sut i redeg yn gyflymach, neidio’n uwch, a thaflu ymhellach. Dechreuodd y disgyblion ddeall bod addysg gorfforol yn ymwneud â dysgu sut i deimlo’n iach ac aros yn heini wrth gael hwyl, a gwybod sut mae’r gwahanol fathau hyn o weithgareddau yn eu cynorthwyo hwy i aros felly.

Bob blwyddyn ysgol mae ein calendr Addysg Gorfforol yn cynnwys: hoci, pêl-droed, rygbi, dawns, ffitrwydd, gymnasteg, nofio, criced, pêl-fasged, pêl-rwyd, athletau ac addysg awyr agored. Rydym yn croesawu digwyddiad rhedeg pellter hir blynyddol y sir ar ein tir helaeth. Yn ystod y flwyddyn ysgol rydym hefyd yn darparu cyfleoedd i ddisgyblion fynychu cyrsiau preswyl mewn addysg awyr agored.

Yn ystod cwrs y flwyddyn, rydym yn cynnal clybiau ar ôl ysgol mewn pêl-droed rygbi, criced a phêl fasged. Mae clwb ar ôl ysgol yr Urdd yn mynd â phlant i sgïo, dringo creigiau a chanŵio ymhlith llawer mwy o weithgareddau.

Anogir chwaraeon cystadleuol. Rydym yn rheolaidd yn rhoi timau i mewn ar gyfer twrnameintiau rygbi, pêl-droed a chriced, ynghyd â’r gala nofio flynyddol.

Mae pob agwedd ar Addysg Gorfforol yn orfodol, ac mae cit priodol yn ofynnol ar gyfer gwersi. Mae esgidiau hyfforddi (trenars) yn ofynnol ar gyfer gwersi awyr agored a sesiynau yn y Neuadd Chwaraeon, tra bo’r disgyblion yn cymryd rhan mewn gwersi gymnasteg a dawns yn droednoeth. Mae’n rhaid i ddisgyblion sy’n dymuno cael eu hesgusodi o sesiwn AG am resymau meddygol ddarparu cais ysgrifenedig.

Dylunio a Thechnoleg

Mae Technoleg yn Rhoscolyn yn ddyfeisgar ac yn gyffrous. Perir bod y disgyblion yn ymwybodol o gyflawniadau ym myd dylunio a thechnoleg a’r syniadau mawr sydd wedi siapio’r byd. Anogir hwy i fod yn greadigol ac yn ddyfeisgar wrth fod yn ymwybodol o faterion perthynol i gynaladwyedd a materion amgylcheddol yn yr unfed ganrif ar hugain. Mae’r disgyblion yn mwynhau dylunio a gwneud hetiau gwlanog ar gyfer eu gwisgo yn yr awyr agored – gwych ar gyfer amodau tywydd y gaeaf ar Ynys Môn! Hefyd maent wrth eu bodd yn addasu rysaitiau er mwyn datblygu dewisiadau ffordd o fyw iachach, ac yn creu strwythurau 3D yn defnyddio systemau niwmatig – gan gyfeirio bob amser at y cynlluniau manwl y byddant wedi eu cynhyrchu gyntaf yn defnyddio pecyn meddalwedd arbenigol. Gyda’r newid o’r ysgol gynradd i’r sector uwchradd mewn golwg, mae disgyblion Blwyddyn 6 yn mynd drwy fodiwl Systemau a Rheoli yn yr ysgol uwchradd leol, yn cael eu haddysgu yn eu bloc technegol wedi ei adeiladu’n bwrpasol.

Cynnwys yr holl Ddysgwyr

O dan ofynion deddfwriaeth cyfle cyfartal sy’n cwmpasu hil, rhyw ac anabledd yn Rhoscolyn rydym yn amcanu at:

· Ddileu gwahaniaethu ac aflonyddu a hybu agweddau cadarnhaol.

· Hybu cyfleoedd cyfartal ac annog cyfranogiad ym mhob maes o fywyd ysgol.

Rydym yn credu y dylai pob dysgwr ddatblygu synnwyr o hunaniaeth personol a diwylliannol sy’n dderbyngar ac yn barchus tuag at eraill. Cynllunnir pynciau i ddatblygu’r wybodaeth a’r ddealltwriaeth, y sgiliau, y gwerthoedd a’r agweddau sy’n galluogi ein disgyblion i gymryd rhan yn ein cymdeithas aml-ethnig.

Wrth baratoi ein disgyblion ar gyfer bywyd fel dinasyddion byd-eang, rydym yn gweithio i leihau rhwystrau amgylcheddol a chymdeithasol ac yn darparu cwricwlwm cynhwysol sy’n cynnig cyfleoedd i bob dysgwr gyflawni yn yr ysgol.

Rydym yn gweithio gyda gwasanaethau arbenigol i sicrhau profiadau dysgu perthnasol a hygyrch ar gyfer pawb. Ar gyfer disgyblion gydag anableddau, rydym yn ymdrechu i wella mynediad i’r cwricwlwm, yn cynyddu mynediad i wasanaethau addysg a chysylltiol ac yn darparu gwybodaeth mewn ystod o ffurfiau.

Defnyddio’r Iaith Gymraeg

Mae’r Awdurdod Addysg Lleol yn gweithredu polisi dwyieithog ym mhob ysgol o fewn Ynys Môn. Yr amcan yw datblygu gallu’r disgyblion a’r myfyrwyr o fewn y sir i fod yn hyderus ddwyieithog er mwyn iddynt fod yn aelodau llawn o’r gymdeithas ddwyieithog y maent yn rhan ohoni. Yma yn Rhoscolyn, rydym yn adlewyrchu ac yn atgyfnerthu’r polisi iaith yn ein gweinyddiaeth, ein bywyd cymdeithasol a’n trefniadau bugeiliol yn ogystal ag yn ein darpariaeth academaidd.

Addysg Feithrin

Sicrhau, drwy ddarpariaeth a threfniadaeth a strwythurwyd yn sensitif, bod pob plentyn yn derbyn sylfaen gadarn yn y Gymraeg er mwyn ei (g)alluogi maes o law i gyrraedd amcan dwyieithrwydd llawn.

CA1

Adeiladu ar sylfeini’r Gymraeg a osodwyd drwy addysg feithrin, cadarnhau a datblygu mamiaith disgyblion sy’n ddysgwyr Cymraeg ac ymestyn cymhwysedd y disgybl o gartref Cymraeg ei iaith mewn Saesneg.

CA2

Cadarnhau a datblygu galluoedd Cymraeg a Saesneg pob disgybl ym mhob agwedd, yn weithredol ac yn dderbyngar, fel ag i sicrhau y gall ef/hi siarad, darllen ac ysgrifennu’n rhugl ac yn hyderus yn y ddwy iaith ar drosglwyddo i’r ysgol uwchradd.

Mae hwyrddyfodiaid i CA2 yn mynychu cwrs byr (6 wythnos) mewn Uned Iaith Gymraeg lle’r ânt drwy hyfforddiant dwys yn y Gymraeg wedi ei gynllunio i’w cyfarparu gyda’r sgiliau ieithyddol sydd eu hangen i elwa o’r cyfan sydd gan Roscolyn i’w gynnig.

Cyfrwng hyfforddiant

Addysgir Saesneg, Gwyddoniaeth a Mathemateg dtrwy gyfrwng y Saesneg. Addysgir y Celfyddydau, y Dyniaethau a Thechnoleg yn ddwyieithog.

Yn Rhoscolyn rydym yn sicrhau bod pob disgybl yn defnyddio’r ddwy iaith yn gyfrwng dysgu ar raddfeydd amrywiol yn ôl anghenion pob unigolyn.

Gwaith Cartref

Yn Rhoscolyn credwn y gall gwaith cartref ychwanegu at ansawdd addysg plentyn. Gofynnir i ddisgyblion gwblhau tasg gartref i gyflenwi’r hyn y buont yn ei ddysgu yn y dosbarth.

Addysg Ryw

Yng Nghyfnod Allweddol 1, mae disgyblion yn dysgu’r cyfan amdanynt eu hunain a pham y maent yn arbennig. Maent yn dysgu am gylchoedd bywyd planhigion ac anifeiliaid a’r gwahaniaethau rhyngddynt eu hunain ac eraill. Drwy gydol hyn oll, mae’r disgyblion yn dysgu am bwysigrwydd ffordd o fyw iach, hylendid personol, diet, gorffwys a diogelwch personol.

Fel y maent yn mynd yn hŷn, cysylltir eu haddysg ryw â’r gwaith a wnânt mewn Addysg Bersonol, Cymdeithasol, Iechyd a Dinasyddiaeth (PSHEC / ABACHID). Mae’r disgyblion yn dechrau gofyn cwestiynau amdanynt eu hunain a chaniateir iddynt wneud hynny mewn amgylchedd gefnogol a sensitif. Pan fo’r disgyblion yn mynd i flwyddyn 6, byddant yn dechrau dysgu am ffeithiau sylfaenol atgenhedlu dynol, gan ddefnyddio ffilmiau fideo priodol a chefnogaeth a chyngor gan nyrs yr ysgol.

Mae gan rieni’r hawl i dynnu eu plentyn allan o elfennau penodol o’r rhaglen Addysg Ryw ac mae’n rhaid iddynt wneud hynny yn ysgrifenedig. Bydd y Pennaeth wedyn yn trefnu cyfarfod i drafod y mater gyda chi.

Cynulliad / Gwasanaeth

Rydym yn credu bod gwasanaethau’n chwarae rhan bwysig ym mywyd disgybl yn y gymuned ysgol. Mae gwasanaeth yn digwydd bob dydd, un ai ar gyfer yr ysgol gyfan neu yn y dosbarth. Amcanwn i ymgorffori’r egwyddorion moesol a chrefyddol a ddelir yn gyffredin gan grefyddau, wrth gynnal y dull Cristnogol eang sy’n ofynnol yn y gyfraith. Anogir y disgyblion i gymryd rhan weithredol yn ein gwasanaethau ac weithiau eu harwain yn rhan o wasanaeth dosbarth.

Gall rhieni dynnu eu plant allan yn gyfan gwbl neu’n rhannol o fynychu unrhyw AG nac addoli torfol. Mae’n rhaid i gais gael ei wneud yn ysgrifenedig i’r Pennaeth a fydd yn eich gwahodd i drafod y mater i osgoi camddealltwriaeth:

y materion crefyddol y byddai rhiant yn gwrthwynebu i’r plentyn gael ei addysgu amdanynt

goblygiadau ymarferol tynnu allan

yr amgylchiadau lle byddai’n rhesymol boddhau dymuniadau’r rhieni

a fydd ar riant angen unrhyw rybudd ymlaen llaw o fater o’r fath yn y dyfodol ac os felly, faint

Ymweliadau addysgol a hyfforddiant allgyrsiol

Mae Rhoscolyn yn darparu’r cyfleoedd addysgol gorau posibl. Credwn y dylai addysg dydd i ddydd fod yn rhydd o unrhyw dâl gorfodol i rieni a gwarcheidwaid. Rydym yn awyddus gwneud y mwyaf o’n hamgylchedd lleol cyfoethog, ein treftadaeth a’r cyfleusterau ardderchog a gynigir mewn dinasoedd mawr drwy addysgu ein disgyblion y tu allan i’r dosbarth a therfynau’r ysgol.

Yn Rhoscolyn rydym yn adnabod y bydd ar rai o’r gweithgareddau a fydd yn cyfoethogi amser eich plentyn gyda ni angen cael eu cefnogi gan gyfraniadau ariannol yn gyfan neu’n rhannol gan rieni. Pryder Rhoscolyn yw cadw cyfraniadau ariannol i leiafswm rhesymol a sicrhau cyn belled ag y bo modd bod pob disgybl yn gallu cymryd rhan, waeth beth fo eu hamgylchiadau. Ar gyfer ymweliadau y tu allan i amser ysgol codir ar rieni am bob cost a ganiateir.

Codir tâl ar gost a gymorthdelir ar rieni plant sy’n dewis ymgymryd â gwersi offerynnol ychwanegol.

Codir tâl llawn am golled neu ddifrod i lyfrau neu offer addysgol.

Mae disgyblion Rhoscolyn yn cynhyrchu llawer o enghreifftiau o gynhyrchion celf a dylunio o’r radd flaenaf. Mae’r disgyblion yn datblygu eu sgiliau entrepreneuraidd drwy werthu gwaith Celf ar lein drwy wefannau llwyddiannus yr ysgol. Codir yn unol â hynny ar rieni sy’n dymuno cael meddiant o’r cynhyrchion neu’r printiau gorffenedig .

Cynnydd eich Plentyn
_________________________________

Asesu

Bydd yr athro dosbarth yn asesu eich plentyn drwy gydol y flwyddyn, gan blotio datblygiad eich plentyn yn defnyddio ein system ar lein ddiogel sy’n caniatáu i ni lwybro cynnydd pob disgybl drwy gydol ei (h)amser yn Rhoscolyn. Yn ychwanegol, mae’r disgyblion yn cwblhau asesiadau ysgrifenedig i fesur cynnydd mewn llythrennedd a rhifedd ar ddechrau a diwedd pob blwyddyn ysgol. Mae data o’r tasgau hyn yn cynorthwyo’r athrawon i wneud asesiadau statudol yn nhymor yr haf o ddisgyblion ym Mlwyddyn 2 a Blwyddyn 6.

Adroddiadau Blynyddol

Byddwch yn derbyn adroddiad blynyddol bob mis Gorffennaf, yn rhoi manylion am y cynnydd a wnaeth eich plentyn yn ystod y flwyddyn. Mae’r adroddiad yn cwmpasu pob un o bynciau’r Cwricwlwm Cenedlaethol ac yn adnabod targedau ar gyfer gwella ar gyfer y flwyddyn ddilynol. Ar ddiwedd Blwyddyn 2 a Blwyddyn 6, mae’r adroddiad hefyd yn cynnwys manylion o lefel asesu statudol eich plentyn.

Nosweithiau Agored

Gwahoddir chi i gyfarfod tymhorol i drafod cynnydd eich plentyn gyda’r athro dosbarth/athrawes ddosbarth. Cynhelir y cyfarfodydd hyn mis nos ac maent yn rhan bwysig iawn o addysg eich plentyn. Yn nhymor yr haf, rhoddir y cyfle i chi drafod adroddiad blynyddol eich plentyn. Mae croeso i rieni wrth gwrs bob amser i drafod materion gyda’u hathro dosbarth ar adegau eraill yn ystod y flwyddyn ond gofnnir iddynt drefnu apwyntiad ymlaen llaw. Mae arnom eisiau gweithio’n agos gyda rhieni a bod yn bartneriaid yn y broses ddysgu, fel y gallwn ddarparu’r addysg orau bosibl i’ch plentyn.

Anghenion Ychwanegol

Mae gan rai disgyblion yn Rhoscolyn anghenion dysgu ychwanegol o un math neu’i gilydd. Mae gennym nifer o staff sy’n gallu cefnogi’r athro dosbarth i gyfarfod â’r anghenion hyn. Mae gan yr ysgol Gydlynydd Anghenion Addysgol Arbennig, neu SENCo/CAAA sy’n gyfrifol am sicrhau y cyfarfyddir â’r anghenion arbennig hyn. Mae’r SENCo/CAAA yn gweithio’n agos iawn gyda’r rhieni i gynorthwyo’r plentyn gymaint ag y bo modd. Anogir rhieni i rannu unrhyw bryderon y gall bod ganddynt ynghylch dysgu eu plentyn gyda’r athro dosbarth neu’r SENCo/CAAA.

Cymuned yr Ysgol

Cytundebau Cartref-Ysgol

Mae gennym Gytundeb Cartref-Ysgol yr ydym yn gofyn i bob rhiant ei arwyddo. Datganiad ydyw o’n hamcanion a’n gwerthoedd, yn amlinellu cyfrifoldebau pawb mewn perthynas ag addysg eich plentyn. Gellir dod o hyd i gopi o’r Cytundeb Cartref-Ysgol yn y boced ar ddiwedd y prosbectws hwn.

Llywodraethwyr

Mae Corff Llywodraethu’r ysgol i gyd yn wirfoddolwyr sy’n cyfarfod yn rheolaidd i gefnogi’r Pennaeth i arwain a rheoli’r ysgol. Mae ein llywodraethwyr i gyd yn gynrychiolwyr y gymuned leol, yn rhieni, athrawon, cynghorwyr a busnesau lleol.

Plant

Rydym yn credu bod y plant yn chwarae rhan allweddol yn natblygiad yr ysgol. Rydym yn ymgynghori â hwy’n rheolaidd ar faterion ac rydym yn awyddus i ddarganfod eu barn. Mae gennym Gyngor Ysgol gweithredol sy’n cynnwys aelodau etholedig o wahanol grwpiau blwyddyn. Maent yn cyfarfod yn rheolaidd gyda’r Dirprwy Bennaeth i drafod materion ac adrodd yn uniongyrchol wrth y Pennaeth a’r Llywodraethwyr.

Lles a Diogelwch
___________________________

Ymddygiad

Rydym yn amcanu i’n holl ddisgyblion fod yn ymddwyn yn dda ar bob adeg, gyda hunan-ddisgyblaeth dda. I wneud hynny mae angen i ni weithio mewn partneriaeth gyda’r rhieni. Er mwyn cefnogi hyn, mae gennym bolisi rheoli ymddygiad cadarnhaol, sy’n amlygu rheolau’r ysgol, ynghyd â systemau gwobrwyo i annog ymddygiad da. Os bydd plentyn yn torri rheol ysgol, mae rhestr fanwl o sancsiynau yn amlinellu’n glir y gweithredu priodol i’w ddilyn.

Disgwylir safonau o ymddygiad da ar bob adeg. Atgoffir pob disgybl na oddefir bwlio a hiliaeth yn yr ysgol.

Meddyginiaethau

Os bydd eich plentyn yn ddigon da i fynychu’r ysgol ond bod arno/arni angen cymryd meddyginiaeth o hyd, ni chaniateir i’r staff ei gweinyddu. Yn gyffredinol, os oes angen cymryd moddion 3 gwaith y dydd, gellir ei roi gartref cyn yr ysgol ac eto pan ddaw eich plentyn adref (gyda’r trydydd dogn cyn amser gwely). Os oes arnoch angen i’r ysgol roi meddyginiaeth i’ch plentyn yn ystod y dydd, cysylltwch â’r Pennaeth.

Os oes angen pwmp anadlu ar eich plentyn, yna rhowch wybod i’r Pennaeth yn ysgrifenedig. Mae’n rhaid i’r anadlydd aros gyda’ch plentyn ar bob adeg, gyda’i (h)enw a’r Flwyddyn wedi eu harddangos yn eglur.

Diogelwch

Ni chaniateir i rieni sy’n gyrru eu plant i’r ysgol barcio ar y llinellau melyn y tu allan i’r ysgol (yn cynnwys y cilfachau bysiau). Mae gwneud hynny’n anghyfreithlon ac yn beryglus ar gyfer ein plant. Rydym yn aml yn cael ymweliadau gan yr heddlu i gadarnhau’r cyfyngiadau.

Ni chaniateir cŵn o gwbl ar dir yr ysgol. Gwaherddir ysmygu yn llym. Mae’r ysgol yn ymgymryd ag asesiad risg llawn ar y safle yn flynyddol.

Gwaeledd yn yr ysgol

Mae gennym dîm o gymhorthwyr cyntaf wedi eu hyfforddi yn yr ysgol a all ddelio â mân anafiadau. Os bydd eich plentyn yn sâl neu’n cael damwain yn yr ysgol, byddwn yn cysylltu â chi yn defnyddio’r rhifau cyswllt a ddarperir gennych ar y ffurflen SIMS y mae’n ofynnol i chi ei chwblhau pan fo eich plentyn yn mynd i mewn i’r ysgol am y tro cyntaf. Gofynnir i rieni roi gwybod i Ysgrifenyddes yr Ysgol er mwyn diweddaru’r rhifau cyswllt pan fo’n angenrheidiol. Mae’n hollbwysig bod gan yr ysgol gyfeiriad a rhif ffôn/rhif ffôn symudol cyfredol lle gellir cysylltu rhieni / gwarcheidwaid pe bai argyfwng. Os na allwn gysylltu â chi na’ch cynrychiolydd, byddwn yn gweithredu er lles gorau eich plentyn. Gall hyn gynnwys mynd â hwy i’r ysbyty.

Gwaeledd gartref

Os bydd eich plentyn yn mynd yn sâl gartref ac na all fynychu’r ysgol am unrhyw reswm rhowch wybod i ni cyn gynted ag y bo modd drwy ysgrifenyddes yr ysgol, ffôn ateb neu e-bost.

Nyrs yr Ysgol

Mae gennym dîm o nyrsys ysgol sy’n ymweld â’r ysgol yn rheolaidd i weithredu ystod o brofion clyw, gweledol a deintyddol. Rhoddir gwybod i’r rhieni bob amser ymlaen llaw a gallant dynnu eu plentyn allan o’r archwiliad meddygol os dymunant.

Bugeiliol

Mae’n hollbwysig i ni bod eich plentyn yn hapus tra’i fod yn Rhoscolyn. Os am unrhyw reswm y dymunwch drafod unrhyw bryderon a all fod gennych ynghylch eich plentyn gydag athro, gwnewch hynny. Os bydd problem yn codi gartref a all effeithio ar addysg eich plentyn, eto, dewch i siarad â ni’n gyfrinachol.

Gwybodaeth Gyffredinol
_____________________________

Presenoldeb

Mae’n ofynnol i bob plentyn o oedran ysgol yn ôl y gyfraith fynychu’r ysgol ar bob adeg. Bydd rhieni nad ydynt yn anfon eu plant i’r ysgol yn cael eu cyfeirio at y Swyddog Lles Addysg a all benderfynu ymweld â’r cartref i gyfweld y rhiant/gwarcheidwad. Archwilir y cofrestrau presenoldeb yn ofalus iawn gan y Swyddog Lles Addysg ar sail reolaidd.

Os bydd eich plentyn yn absennol, bydd yr ysgol yn penderfynu p’run a yw’n ‘awdurdodedig’ neu’n ‘anawdurdodedig’. Bydd unrhyw absenoldeb nad yw’n ddilys (e.e. mynd i siopa, aros gartref ar gyfer pen-blwydd, mynd ar wyliau heb ganiatâd y Pennaeth) yn cael ei farcio’n ‘anawdurdodedig’.

Mae rhesymau dilys ar gyfer absenoldeb ‘awdurdodedig’ yn cynnwys: gwaeledd, apwyntiadau meddygol neu ddeintyddol, galar teuluol, neu unrhyw wyliau a ganiateir gan y Pennaeth.

Absenoldeb yn amser tymor

Pe bai digwyddiad anhebygol bod arnoch angen tynnu eich plentyn allan o’r ysgol yn ystod amser tymor, mae’n rhaid i chi ysgrifennu at y Pennaeth yn gofyn am ganiatâd. Ni chefnogir yn gryf dynnu eich plentyn allan o’r ysgol ar gyfer gwyliau teuluol yn ystod amser tymor gan y bydd yn torri ar draws addysg eich plentyn. Os bydd y Pennaeth yn penderfynu rhoi caniatâd i chi, yna bydd yn ysgrifennu atoch i roi gwybod i chi.

Eiddo Plant

Rydym yn disgwyl i’r disgyblion ddysgu cymryd cyfrifoldeb am eu heiddo a pharchu eiddo eraill. I’n cynorthwyo gyda hyn, gwnewch yn siŵr:

* Bod yr holl ddillad ac offer wedi eu nodi’n glir gydag enw eich plentyn.

* Nad yw eich plentyn yn dod ag unrhyw eitem nad yw’n angenrheidiol i’r ysgol (megis teganau, ffonau symudol ayyb.)

* Bod eich plentyn yn rhoi gwybod i’w athro/athrawes am unrhyw eitem sydd ar goll. Byddwn yn dychwelyd i’ch plentyn unrhyw eitem sydd ar goll gydag enw arni. Eir â phob eitem ddi-enw i Eiddo Coll.

* Bod eich plentyn yn gofyn am gael edrych am eitemau coll yn y casgliad o Eiddo Coll. Ar ddiwedd pob tymor, ailgylchir unrhyw eitemau sydd heb eu casglu.

Gwisg Ysgol

Mae gan Ysgol Rhoscolyn wisg ysgol y mae’r Llywodraethwyr yn annog yn gryf cydymffurfio â hi.

Gwneud cwynion

Pe na baech yn hapus am unrhywbeth yn Rhoscolyn, dylech drafod hynny bob amser yn yr achos cyntaf gyda’r athro dosbarth/athrawes ddosbarth. Os nad ydych yn hapus gyda’r canlyniad yna gellwch wneud apwyntiad gyda’r Pennaeth. Os bydd eich cwyn yn parhau heb ei datrys er eich boddhad, yna gellwch gysylltu â Chadeirydd y Corff Llywodraethu. Gellir gwneud hynny yn ysgrifenedig drwy adael llythyr ym mlwch post yr ysgol, wedi ei gyfeirio at Gadeirydd y Llywodraethwyr, d/o Ysgol Rhoscolyn.

Teithio i’r ysgol

Mae Rhoscolyn yn cael darpariaeth gludiant o ardal y Fali ac ardal Caergybi yn ddyddiol.

Mae’r AALL yn darparu cludiant ysgol di-dâl ar gyfer disgyblion llawn amser 4-11 oed fel a ganlyn:

· ar gyfer disgyblion ysgol gynradd sy’n byw 1.5 milltir neu fwy o’r ysgol y maent yn byw yn ei dalgylch

· ar gyfer disgyblion gydag anghenion addysgol arbennig neu ar dir meddygol neu amgylchiadau unigol eraill, y mae’r AALL yn ei ystyried sy’n peri bod cludiant di-dâl yn angenrheidiol.

· ar gyfer disgyblion sy’n mynychu ysgol nad yw’n ysgol eu dalgylch os mai honno yw’r ysgol agosaf i’r cartref, ac os yw’r pellter o’r cartref i’r ysgol yn 2 filltir neu fwy ar gyfer disgyblion o dan 8 oed neu’n 3 milltir neu fwy ar gyfer disgyblion 8 oed neu hŷn.

Ar wahân i’r plant hynny yn (iii) uchod disgwylir i blentyn gerdded pellter rhesymol i gyfarfod ag unrhyw gludiant a ddarperir.

· Disgyblion ysgol gynradd sy’n byw o fewn 1.5 milltir o’r ysgol

Darperir cludiant ar gost ostyngol o 10ceiniog y daith argyfer disgyblion sy’n byw o fewn 1.5 milltir o’r ysgol.

Yn arferol mae’n ofynnol i ddisgyblion y rhoddir caniatâd iddynt fynychu ysgol wahanol i’r ysgol sy’n gwasanaethu’r dalgylch y maent yn byw ynddi wneud eu trefniadau cludiant eu hunain a chyfarfod â’r costau cysylltiedig. Bydd yr AALL yn ystyried ceisiadau mewn perthynas â disgyblion o’r fath ar gyfer caniatâd i gymryd seddau gwag ar gerbydau contract ysgol ar gost sy’n cyfateb â chost cludiant cyhoeddus. (Nid yw’r trefniant hwn ar gael i ddisgyblion sydd â’r defnydd o wasanaeth cludiant cyhoeddus). Cost cludiant cyhoeddus yw 80c dwy ffordd y disgybl y dydd ar hyn o bryd.

Ni ddarperir cludiant ar gyfer disgyblion meithrin rhan-amser.

Dylid gwneud ymholiadau ynghylch unrhyw fater perthynol i ddarparu cludiant ysgol i’r swyddog Cludiant yn Llangefni.

Ein tiroedd helaeth

Mae ein tiroedd yn darparu’r cynfas delfrydol ar gyfer chwarae creadigol, astudiaethau natur, tyfu planhigion a llysiau ac ystyrir hwy’n estyniadau ar ein dosbarthiadau. Mae pob dosbarth yn gofalu am yr ardd yn eu tro, gan ennill dirnadaeth a gwybodaeth gwerthfawr o faterion garddwriaethol. Cefnogir y gerddi gan Wirfoddolwyr Byddin Garddio’r Ysgol, ac mae Rhoscolyn ar hyn o bryd yn cartrefu:

draig helyg fyw,

gardd bywyd gwyllt,

gardd lysiau,

ardal wlyb,

a gardd glan y môr.

Rydym yn falch o’n galw ein hunain yn un o Ysgolion Gwyrdd Gwynedd a Môn.
