Mae cryn dipyn o baratoi ymlaen llaw yn digwydd er mwyn sicrhau trosglwyddiad didrafferth o’r cyfnod Cynradd yma yn Nhirdeunaw i’r Cyfnod Uwchradd yn Ysgol Gymraeg Bryntawe. Yn wir, mae’n rhan o bolisi’r ysgol i sefydlu nifer helaeth o gysylltiadau gyda’r ysgolion partner gan fod trosglwyddo’n gallu golygu newid dramatig i lawer o ddisgyblion. Rydym yn awyddus i gydweithio'n agos a YG Bryntawe fel eu bod nhw'n dod i adnabod disgyblion Bl6 yn dda cyn iddynt gyrraedd Bryn Tawe, ac er mwyn iddynt ymgartrefu’n gyflym.
Mae disgyblion yr ysgol yn treulio cyfnodau ym Mryn Tawe yn ystod Blwyddyn 6 yn dysgu drwy weithgareddau amrywiol gyda ffrindiau a chyfoedion hen a newydd. Gallai’r ymweliadau hyn er enghraifft gynnwys gwersi animeiddio yn yr adran TGCh, prosiect gwyddoniaeth, cystadleuaeth menter, sesiynau sgiliau chwaraeon neu wersi ‘rhagflas’ mewn iaith dramor fodern. Yn fwy ffurfiol, bydd amserlen gyflwyno wedi’i threfnu dros y flwyddyn flaenorol cyn eu trosglwyddo a fydd yn cynnwys y digwyddiadau isod.

A great deal of preparation is made beforehand to ensure a smooth a transition for our pupils from Tirdeunaw to YG Bryntawe. We are very aware that transition from Primary school can mean quite a dramatic change for many pupils, therefore, YG Bryntawe are very keen to get to know their partner Primary school pupils well before they arrive at Bryn Tawe, so that they settle in as quickly as possible.
As part of our successful transition programme year 6 pupils will visit Bryn Tawe throughout their last year at the school on varied activities related to learning and socialising with colleagues and pupils from all the primary schools. These involve animation, science and food technology lessons, an entrepreneurial competition, sport skills sessions and team building activities, “taster” lessons in a range of subjects and the transition residential course to Llangrannog. You will receive a timetable of all the activities and dates as part of our transition programme.
