Welcome to Dosbarth Yr Wyddfa. We are a mixed class of years 3-6.

We are taught by Miss Taylor and Mrs O’Neill.

We are assisted by Mrs Lewis.

Autumn Term 2026

Our topic this term is ” Around the World.” We will be focusing our studies on Africa.

We will be exploring the geography, history, and culture of different countries within Africa as well as making comparisons to Wales.

Reading / Darllen

Children must bring their reading book every day, and this includes their reading record. Please make sure you fill in their reading record at least once a week. This term we will be having Guided Reading sessions.

You will find your child’s targets for the Autumn Tern in the back of their reading records. These were taken from their Summer reports and they have written them in a way they will understand.

Homework/ Gwaith Cartref

Homework will be sent home on a Monday, to be returned for the following Monday. Each week it will alternate between Maths and Literacy activities. This allows parents/guardians to see what your child has been covering within school and an opportunity to reinforce their learning at home.

The children’s spellings will be sent home on seesaw each Monday to practice at home ready to be tested on Friday morning.

Literacy/ Llenyddiaeth

Year 3 and 4 will be reading the book, Anna Hibiscus by Atinuke

Year 5 and 6 will be reading the book, Too small Tola also by Atinuke.

Both books are based around Nigeria. They will be completing a book study and diaries, newspapers and traditional folk tales.

Within our Topic, we will be exploring African Folktales.

Maths / Mathemateg

In Maths we will be looking at number, addition and subtraction, measure and shape. In topic they will be learning area and perimeter, climate data and time zones.

Forest Schools / Ysgolion Goedwig

Forest school is on a Thursday. Please ensure that you send your child in appropriate clothing. Remember Forest School can be messy – wear old clothes!

We will be basing our sessions around the topic of Africa including some African recipes on the fire and using some tools to create craft to sell.

Physical Education / Addysg Gorfforol

PE is on a Friday; the children can come to school in their P.E. kits. For this half term it is invasion games.

Daily Mile / Milltir Y Dydd

Everyday weather permitting your child will be involved in a brisk walk/jog/run around the school. We have found that this contributes to improved alertness and mood, and they are ready to learn when they return to the classroom.

We are looking forward to another fantastic year!
