DEFNYDDIO’R GYMRAEGCrëwyd Penweddig er mwyn cyflwyno addysg Gymreig a chyfrwng Cymraeg i blant gogledd Sir Ceredigion.Un o brif nodau’r ysgol yw cynnal cymuned Gymreig. Ym Mhenweddig rhoddir statws uchel i’r iaith Gymraeg ac iddiwylliant ein gwlad.Ni wneir hynny mewn awyrgylch ynysig, mewnblyg, ond o fewn fframwaith ysgol gyfan ac ystod o weithgareddausy’n ymestyn gorwelion y disgyblion ymhell tu hwnt i ffiniau’r ardal a ffiniau Cymru. Rhoddir lle amlwg i ddysguieithoedd tramor ac i deithiau sy’n rhoi profiadau o wledydd eraill yn Ewrop a thu hwnt. Gwneir pob ymdrech i feithrindealltwriaeth y disgyblion o ddiwylliannau a ffyrdd o fyw pobl o bob cenedl.Daw dros hanner disgyblion yr ysgol o gartrefi lle siaredir dim, neu ond ychydig o Gymraeg. Oriau ysgol yw prif gyfle’rdisgyblion hyn i ymarfer eu Cymraeg. Mae’r ysgol, felly, yn disgwyl i bob disgybl siarad Cymraeg yn hollweithgareddau’r ysgol ac yn erfyn ar rieni i roi pob anogaeth iddynt.Yn gynyddol gwelir bod yr iaith Gymraeg a dwyieithrwydd yn fanteision economaidd yn eu hunain. Mae’r galw amwasanaethau a gweithwyr dwyieithog yn cynyddu’n ddramatig ac yn parhau i wneud hynny. Felly, mae cael caffaelda ar y Gymraeg a sicrhau graddfa uchel o ddwyieithrwydd, neu hyd yn oed amlieithrwydd, yn gymwyseddaugwerthfawr a all hyrwyddo ansawdd bywyd unigolion.Ar gyfer Medi 2011 mae polisi cyfrwng dysgu pynciau a sefyll arholiadau allanol fel a ganlyn :Dysgir ac arholir Saesneg yn SaesnegDysgir ac arholir Mathemateg a Gwyddoniaeth trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg neu’r Saesneg yn ôl dymuniad yplentyn a’i rieni. Anogir y plant sydd wedi astudio’r pynciau hyn trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg ym Mlwyddyn6 i barhau i wneud hynny ym Mlwyddyn 7.Dysgir ac arholir pob pwnc arall trwy gyfrwng y GymraegDyma’r polisi cyfrwng ar gyfer pob disgybl a gychwynodd ym Mhenweddig ym Medi 2011 a bydd hyn ynparhau trwy gydol gyrfa ysgol y disgyblion hynny.Y GANOLFAN IAITHMae cyfle i blant sy'n bwriadu trosglwyddo i Benweddig fynychu cwrs Pontio Ieithyddol yn y Ganolfan Iaith sydd wediei lleoli ar safle'r ysgol. Serch hynny, gall ddisgyblion sy’n newydd i’r Iaith Gymraeg ymuno â Chynllun Trochi’r ysgola fydd yn eu galluogi i gael mynediad llawn i’r cwricwlwm. Cynhelir y cwrs ym Mlwyddyn 6 ar ôl hanner tymorChwefror ac yn ystod tymor yr haf. Mae'r cwrs hwn ar gyfer plant sydd angen cymorth ychwanegol gyda'r iaith Gymraegcyn iddynt drosglwyddo o'r ysgol gynradd i Benweddig.THE USE OF WELSHPenweddig was created to provide a Welsh learning environment and Welsh medium education for the children ofnorth Ceredigion.One of the school’s principal aims is to be a Welsh community. At Penweddig the Welsh language and Welsh cultureis given a high profile.This is not done within an insular, inward-looking environment but within a whole school framework and a range ofactivities that broaden pupils’ horizons far beyond the boundaries of Ceredigion and Wales. Learning foreign languagesand providing visits that give pupils experiences of Europe and beyond are given a prominent place in theschool’s activities. Every effort is made to develop pupils’ understanding of other cultures and the ways of life of otherpeople.More than half of Penweddig’s pupils come from homes where little or no Welsh is spoken. The school day is themain opportunity that they have to practise their Welsh. The school therefore expects pupils to speak Welsh in alltheir school activities and urges parents to give them every encouragement.Increasingly, the Welsh language and bilingualism are an economic asset in their own right. The demand for bilingualservices and employees has increased dramatically and continues to rise. Therefore, acquiring a command ofWelsh and attaining a high degree of bilingualism and, indeed, multi-lingualism, are valuable and life-enhancingcompetencies.The school’s policy on the medium of teaching and sitting examinations in September 2011 is as follows: English is taught and examined in English Mathematics and Science are taught through the medium of English or Welsh according to the child andparent’s choice. Pupils who have studied these subjects through the medium of Welsh in Year 6 are encouragedto continue to do so in Year 7 All other subjects are taught and examined through the medium of WelshThis was the policy for every pupil who commenced in Year 7 in September 2011 and will remain the same throughoutthose pupils’ career at Penweddig.THE LANGUAGE CENTREPupils who intend to transfer to Penweddig have an opportunity to attend a transitional language course held duringYear 6 in the Language Centre which is situated in Penweddig. However, pupils new to the Welsh language mayjoin in the school’s immersion project which enables them to access the full curriculum. The course, which is heldafter the February half term and during the summer term, aims to give pupils additional help with their Welsh beforethey transfer to Penweddig.11
