Diwedd Wythnos 11 | End of Week 11
SCROLL DOWN FOR ENGLISH VERSION
Annwyl Deuluoedd,
Un wythnos sydd i fynd! Dydyn ni methu credu pa mor gyflym mae amser wedi hedfan!
Uchafbwyntiau’r Wythnos
Am wythnos fendigedig! Ar ddechrau'r wythnos dysgodd y plant am anifeiliaid y byd. Roedd y plant wedi mwynhau chwarae gemau parau ar y sgrin ac roedd e'n gystadleuol i weld pwy fydd y gyflymach. Dysgodd y plant sut i ddefnyddio cardiau lŵp hefyd ac roedd pawb wedi mwynhau. Roedd amser i greu stori fach am y jyngl hefyd. Yn symud ymlaen i'r diwrnod nesaf, dysgodd y plant ansoddeiriau sy'n disgrifio'r jyngl. Roedd y plant wedi mwynhau cael ras i chwilio am yr eirfa yn y pwll o beli. Darllenon ni stori am antur Carlo'r ci yn y jyngl cyn trafod beth maen nhw'n meddwl sydd angen pacio yn y ces am antur yn y jyngl, a beth sydd yn gallu aros yn y tŷ, gan esbonio pam. Yn sicr, uchafbwynt yr wythnos oedd y seremoni graddio. Roedd e'n brofiad gwych i'r plant ac roedd e'n hyfryd dathlu'r holl waith caled maen nhw wedi gwneud ers dechrau gyda ni. Hoffwn ddiolch yn fawr i chi gyd am eich cefnogaeth y diwrnod hynny a dros yr wythnosau diwethaf. Tuag at ddiwedd yr wythnos dysgodd y plant iaith Clwb Clebran er mwyn mynegi beth yw hoff ei anifail a pham. Yna, mynegon nhw pa anifail doedden nhw ddim yn hoffi a pham. Roedd y plant yn wych wrth drafod. Da iawn chi plant.
Araith Seremoni Graddio Dr. Williamson-Dicken
Fel rhan o'n seremoni raddio yr wythnos hon, siaradodd Dr. Williamson-dicken am bwysigrwydd dwyieithrwydd a pha mor falch ydyn ni i gyd o'r plant sydd wedi dod trwy'r ail garfan hon o Carreg Lam:
Bore da a Chroeso i deuluoedd, athrawon, rhieni balch, ac yn bwysicaf oll, plant anhygoel Carreg Lam.
Mae heddiw’n achlysur tyngedfennol wrth i ni ymgynnull i ddathlu llwyddiannau’r meddyliau ifanc hynod hyn sydd wedi cwblhau eu taith yng Ngharreg Lam, ein canolfan drochi Cymraeg. Mae pob un o’r plant hyn wedi cychwyn ar brofiad addysgol unigryw a thrawsnewidiol sy’n mynd y tu hwnt i ffiniau traddodiadol.
Ymunodd y plant hyn â Charreg Lam nôl ym mis Ebrill ac mae wedi bod yn hyfryd eu gweld yn ffynnu dros y 12 wythnos diwethaf. Mewn byd sy’n dod yn fwyfwy rhyng-gysylltiedig, mae meithrin dwyieithrwydd yn anrheg sy’n mynd y tu hwnt i ffiniau ieithyddol. Dyna’r anrheg yr ydych wedi ei rhoi i’ch plant trwy ddewis addysg Gymraeg a Charreg Lam. Mae dwyieithrwydd yn bont sy’n cysylltu diwylliannau, yn agor drysau i safbwyntiau amrywiol, ac yn cyfoethogi bywydau mewn ffyrdd annirnadwy.
Mae’r iaith Gymraeg, gyda’i hanes cyfoethog a’i harwyddocâd diwylliannol, yn fwy na dim ond cyfrwng cyfathrebu; mae'n destun balchder a hunaniaeth. Trwy drochi ein hunain yn y Gymraeg, rydym yn anrhydeddu’r dreftadaeth sy’n siapio ein cymuned ac yn cryfhau gwead ein cymdeithas. Mae Carreg Lam, gyda’i hymrwymiad i addysg Gymraeg, wedi gosod y sylfaen i’r plant hyn ddod nid yn unig yn siaradwyr hyfedr ond hefyd yn llysgenhadon treftadaeth ieithyddol fywiog.
Felly, blant, wrth ichi symud ymlaen, cofiwch pa mor bwysig yw’r Gymraeg a’r anrheg a roddwyd ichi. Coleddwch ef, ei feithrin, a gadewch iddo eich arwain wrth adeiladu pontydd, creu cysylltiadau, a chael effaith gadarnhaol yn y byd.
Teuluoedd a rhieni, diolchwn i chi am eich cefnogaeth ac am roi rhodd yr iaith Gymraeg i’ch plant. Rydych wedi hyrwyddo’r Gymraeg, nid allan o ymdeimlad o rwymedigaeth, ond o’r ddealltwriaeth eich bod am roi’r cyfleoedd gorau posibl mewn bywyd i’ch plant, allan o falchder yn ein gwreiddiau ac o ymrwymiad i warchod ein tapestri diwylliannol. am genedlaethau i ddod. Mae cofleidio dwyieithrwydd yn gyfrifoldeb a rennir, ac mae gennym oll ran i’w chwarae. Diolch am chwarae eich rhan.
Wrth gwrs, dim ond drwy gyllid hael Llywodraeth Cymru a Chyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Torfaen y bu hyn yn bosibl.
Hoffai staff Carreg Lam hefyd ddiolch i Brifathrawon a Staff Ysgol Bryn Onnen ac Ysgol Panteg am eu cefnogaeth. Hebddynt, ni fyddai hyn yn bosibl.
Fodd bynnag, hoffwn ddiolch yn bersonol i ddau unigolyn sydd wedi gweithio eu sanau bant i ddarparu rhaglen drochi 12 wythnos wych, ddi-stop, o’r Gymraeg i’r plant hyn. Mae maint y gwaith sy'n mynd ymlaen y tu ôl i'r llenni nad oes neb arall yn ei weld yn aruthrol. Gyfeillion, ni fyddech yn credu faint o waith sydd ei angen. Felly, diolchwn i Mrs. Carys Soper (na all fod yma heddiw) – arweinydd ein canolfan drochi – a Miss Megan Stokes – cynorthwyydd dysgu’r ganolfan. Mae gan y ddwy fenyw hyfryd hyn eich plentyn wrth galon. Ond, mae yna un wraig sydd wedi bod yn gefn ar bob taith am flwyddyn gyfan y dymunwn ddiolch iddi: Colette.
I gloi, hoffwn eich gwahodd i gyd i roi eich dwylo at ei gilydd i ddathlu ein pedwaredd carfan Carreg Lam!
Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Patrymau Iaith a Geirfa’r Wythnos Nesaf
Mae ein hwythnos sydd i ddod ychydig yn wahanol i'r arferol o ran patrymau iaith a geirfa newydd. Bron a gorffen y rhaglen trochi iaith, wythnos 12 yw ein wythnos olaf a’n hwythnos adolygu ac ailadrodd. Felly, byddwn yn edrych ar yr holl iaith yr ydym wedi'i dysgu ar hyd y rhaglen ac yn dathlu llwyddiant ein plant!
Wedi atodi, eto, yw’n llyfryn patrymau iaith a geirfa.
Cofiwch rydych chi’n gallu mynd i’n wefan ar unrhyw bryd er mwyn gweld patrymau’r wythnosau blaenorol:
Dear Families,
One week is to go! We can't believe how fast time has flown!
Highlights of the Week
What a wonderful week! At the beginning of the week the children learned about the animals of the world. The children enjoyed playing pairs games on the screen and it was competitive to see who will be the fastest. The children also learned how to use loop cards and everyone enjoyed it. There was also time to create a small story about the jungle. Moving on to the next day, the children learned adjectives that describe the jungle. The children enjoyed having a race to look for the vocabulary in the pool of balls. We read a story about Carlo the dog's adventure in the jungle before discussing what they think needs to be packed in the suitcase for an adventure in the jungle, and what can stay in the house, explaining why. The highlight of the week was certainly the graduation ceremony. It was a great experience for the children and it was lovely to celebrate all the hard work they have done since starting with us. I would like to thank you all very much for your support that day and over the last few weeks. Towards the end of the week the children learned Clwb Clebran language in order to express what their favourite animal is and why. Then they said which animal they didn't like and why. The children were great at discussing. Da iawn chi!
Dr. Williamson-Dicken's Graduation Speech
As a part of our graduation ceremony this week, Dr. Williamson-Dicken spoke about the importance of bilingualism and how proud we all are of the children who have come through this second cohort of Carreg Lam:
Bore da a Chroeso to families, teachers, proud parents, and most importantly, the incredible children of Carreg Lam.
Today is a momentous occasion as we gather to celebrate the achievements of these remarkable young minds who have completed their journey at Carreg Lam, our Welsh language immersion centre. Each one of these children has embarked on a unique and transformative educational experience that goes beyond traditional boundaries.
These children joined Carreg Lam back in April and it has been wonderful to see them flourish over the last 12 weeks. In a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected, fostering bilingualism is a gift that transcends linguistic boundaries. That is the gift that you have given to your children through choosing Welsh education and Carreg Lam. Bilingualism is a bridge that connects cultures, opens doors to diverse perspectives, and enriches lives in unimaginable ways.
The Welsh language, with its rich history and cultural significance, is more than just a means of communication; it is a source of pride and identity. By immersing ourselves in Welsh, we honour the heritage that shapes our community and strengthens the fabric of our society. Carreg Lam, with its commitment to Welsh language education, has laid the groundwork for these children to become not only proficient speakers but also ambassadors of a vibrant linguistic heritage.
So, children, as you move forward, remember how important the Welsh language is and the gift you have been given. Cherish it, nurture it, and let it guide you in building bridges, forging connections, and making a positive impact in the world.
Families and parents, we thank you for your support and for providing your children with the gift of the Welsh language. You have promoted the Welsh language, not out of a sense of obligation, but out of the understanding that you want to give your children the best possible opportunities in life, out of pride in our roots and out of a commitment to preserving our cultural tapestry for generations to come. Embracing bilingualism is a shared responsibility, and we all have a role to play. Thank you for playing your part.
This has only been made possible of course by the generous funding of the Welsh Government and Torfaen County Borough Council.
Carreg Lam staff also wish to thank the Headteachers and Staff of Ysgol Bryn Onnen and Ysgol Panteg for their support. Without them, this would not be possible.
However, I want to personally thank two individuals who have worked their socks off provide a fantastic, non-stop, 12 week programme of Welsh immersion for these children. The amount of work that goes on behind the scenes that no one else sees is immense. Friends, you would not believe the amount of work involved. So, we thank Mrs. Carys Soper (who can’t be here today) - our immersion centre’s leader - and Miss Megan Stokes - the centre’s teaching assistant. These two wonderful ladies have your child at heart. But, there is one lady who has been a support on every single trip for an entire year that we wish to thank: Colette.
In conclusion, I invite you all to put your hands together to celebrate our fourth Carreg Lam cohort!
Diolch yn fawr iawn. Thank you very much.
Next Week’s Language Patterns and Vocabulary
Our coming week is slightly different from the usual in terms of new language patterns and vocabulary. Coming to an end of the language immersion program, week 12 is our last week and our review and recap week. So, we'll look at all the language we have learned throughout the program and celebrate the success of our children!
Attached, once again, is our language pattern booklet and vocabulary.
