Autumn Term 1&2
Our class topic is Autumn term is Cynefin. We have already explored lots of Welsh Myths and Legends such as ‘The Legend of Gelert’ and ‘The Lady of the Lake’. The children have been working very hard at recreating these stories in different ways such as story board and using Scratch on the Chrome Books. Through learning about Welsh Myths and Legends we have discovered Welsh Folklore music and how important it is to learn about past music.
Welcome to Class 4/5 – Dosbarth Dewi Sant.
Welcome back to the Spring term.
This term our topic will be Frozen Planet which will be lead by the children and where they would like the topic to take them. We will be reading Shackleton’s Journey by William Grill as our class book and basing some of our work around this. In maths, over the next few weeks, we will be looking at multiplication and division and data handling. The topic this half term is “From Galilee to Jerusalem” in RE where we will be learning about the 10 Commandments and the Beatitudes. We will be describing ourselves in Welsh.
PE this term will be swimming on Friday morning and later in the term we will be starting table tennis sessions. In addition to this, every Thursday until half term, the children will be accessing chess lesson and visiting Caer Gwenyn Nursery to work on projects with their children.
Water bottles should be in school every day – they can be left in school to be re-filled.
Morning snack should be a healthy snack.
Book bags with a reading book and reading record will go home on a Friday to be returned on a Monday. Please can you make sure that you read with your child. In addition, weekly spellings and other homework will be sent home with your child’s bookbag.
Please can you ensure you have ordered your child’s dinner in advance and paid for swimming/trips using the ParentPay app.
If there are any concerns or problems, or just something that you would like to ask or talk about, please feel free to pop in to class at the end of the school day or message on Seesaw.
We look forward to working with you and your child and developing their love of learning over the next term.
