What’s happening this term?

Croeso nol! 

Welcome back to a new school year. It is lovely to be back after the summer and to welcome the children into their new class.  

Our daily timetable focuses on Literacy and Numeracy in the morning and in the afternoon, we focus on Welsh, Humanities, Health and Well-being and Expressive arts as well as cross curricular approach.  

Children are encouraged to read at home and also take part in group reading activities during the week to develop specific reading skills.  

Welsh is part of our daily focusing incidental Welsh and encouraging the children to speak Welsh whenever possible. We use our special Fflic and Fflac and Seren and Sbarc to help us.  

Cool Time (Choose our own learning) is part of the daily routine where children choose their own learning and reinforce concepts learned in a focus group. The children are also sharing, taking turns, talking/discussing ideas and cooperating during this time. The children are encouraged to talk about which skills they have used and what they have achieved.  

The children have access to sand and water play, outdoor mud kitchen, round house, a large field with a small woodland area where they enjoy outdoor based activities. There is also a log circle where they enjoying listening to stories and participating in circle activities.  

Diolch!
