Skills for Life: Music, Dance and Drama
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Music, Dance and Drama is a Skills for Life unit in which learners explore elements, techniques and styles in one or more of music, dance or drama, plan a performance, perform it with others to an audience, and reflect on what worked. It is one 20 hour unit that learners combine with others into a Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma, from Entry 1 to Level 2. Literacy sits in using subject vocabulary, speaking and using voice in performance, working with others, and evaluating performances. Numeracy is light: keeping time, counting beats and ordering a sequence.

Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Cymhwysedd strategol
-
Keeping time and ordering a sequence
Learners make a plan showing the order of actions, movements or sounds, and at Level 2 show effective timing and coordination. In practice this means counting beats, keeping a steady tempo and timing sections, which is light numeracy. Timing and sequencing are required by the assessment criteria, but no calculation is.
