We also ask that children are provided with a bottle of water each day for school. Children will have the opportunity to refill this during the day. Fizzy/energy drinks are not to be brought in please.
Reading
Your child will be sent home with a reading book. Reading with them for just a few minutes every night will make a huge difference.
Your child will also have a Giglets login which enables them to access a variety of online reading books at their appropriate level.
Topic 1 - Yummy!
Our first topic is Yummy! In this topic we will look at all things food! As a class we will explore different foods and consider what a healthy balanced diet looks like. This topic will be a lot of fun and a great way to start the year!
Topic 2 - Children of Wales / Plant o Cymru
In our topic "Children of Wales," we will explore what it means to grow up in Wales! In Health and Wellbeing, we'll discuss how children stay healthy and active through sports and traditional games. In Mathematics, we'll learn about the population of Wales and use graphs to compare how many children live in different areas.
Through Language, Literacy and Communication, we'll read stories and legends from Welsh culture and even write our own tales. In Creative Arts, we'll make crafts inspired by Welsh traditions and create posters celebrating our favorite things about being a child in Wales. In Science and Technology, we'll explore the natural environment of Wales, learning about its animals and plants. Finally, in Humanities, we'll study the history and heritage of children in Wales, discovering how their lives have changed over time. Get ready to celebrate the amazing children of Wales!
Topic 3 - Who's in charge?/Pwnc 3 - Pwy sy'n yn llyw?
Have you ever wondered who makes the rules at school, in your community, or even in the world? In the topic "Who's in Charge?", we will explore what it means to be a leader and who has the power to make decisions. From teachers and headteachers to presidents and kings, leaders come in many forms, each with their own special responsibilities. You’ll discover how leaders help make our world run smoothly, how they make tough choices, and how we can all show leadership in our own lives. Get ready to think about fairness, teamwork, and what it takes to be a good leader!
If you have any questions please feel free to speak to a member of staff on the door or call the office to make an appointment.
Thank you so much for your co-operation this year.
Diolch yn Fawr
Mr Main
