Reading / Darllen 

Children must bring their reading book in everyday, and this includes their reading record. Please make sure you fill in their reading record at least once a week. During this term, the children will be having weekly guided reading sessions.  

Spelling / Sillafu 

They will be given spellings on Monday and will be tested on Friday. They will bring a list of spellings home to practice for that week.  

They will be set an activity on The Spelling Shed (an online platform) each Monday for the children to practice their words for the week. This will need to be completed before their test on Fridays. Log in details have been sent home. 

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. For this term, Years 3 and 4 will have a weekly times table test. These will be sent home on a Monday to practice for a test the following Monday.  

Literacy/ Llenyddiaeth 

This term, we will be researching and presenting information on famous buildings around the world. We will be creating our own persuasive adverts in selling a home.  

Maths / Mathamateg 

This term Years 5 and 6 will focus on Fractions, Decimals and Percentages, Probability and Ratio. This term Years 3 and 4 will focus on Fractions, Decimals and Shape. We have Problem Solving activities on a Monday.   

Forest Schools / Ysgolion Goedwig 

Friday afternoon. Please ensure you send your child in appropriate clothing. Remember Forest School can be messy – wear old clothes! 

Physical Education / Addysg Gorfforol 

Monday afternoon – the children can come to school in their P.E. kits. This term our PE focus is on Tennis.  

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, mood and they are ready to learn when they return to the classroom.
