St David's Day

Welcome back everyone! Well done to Emily who was our Star of the Week! I wonder who it will be this week?

I hope everyone made the most of the half term break! Our Home/School Task has been very successful. We are really enjoying looking at and talking about the models which are arriving in school every day. Adam and Daniel have made a Big Pit and a Castle which are displayed in our classroom, they are so detailed, well done! Emily's welsh lady looks just like her! Anisha made Castell Coch with beautiful turrets! Miah modelled a delicate welsh lovespoon from clay!

Don't forget our Eisteddfod on Monday. All of Class 10 will be taking part on the stage performing a welsh song 'Ble mae bawdyn?' and poem 'Dysgu Cyfri'. We have been working very hard on our entries. Wear your welsh costumes to school.

Diolch yn fawr

Seren yr Wythnos!

Well done to Elin Groves who is our Star of the Week. She has tried hard this week to be a good friend to her classmates and has been very kind today.

The staff in Area 3 have been very busy this week developing a sensory area and listening area for our children to experience. We hope to model use of these areas next week before the children will be free to explore the sights, sounds and smells. If you would like to donate anything such as lights, cushions, cds (featuring calming music)etc. please feel free to do so.

Enjoy the weekend

B.E.A.R.

Class 10 are really enjoying learning to read! We love books and listening to a story is one of our favourite things to do. We have recently started a buddy reading initiative between Reception and Year 6 pupils. Twice a week we meet with our Year 6 partners to share story books. All the children are really enthusiastic and look forward to the sessions and the Year 6 pupils are enjoying taking on this responsibility. We hope to foster a love of books to all our pupils.

Thanks to everyone who has sent in junk materials and bottle tops for our mosaic, we need lots more so keep them coming!

I hope you are all working on your Home/School Task. I look forward to seeing your models after half term, they will make a super display for St David's Day.

We are very lucky to have a Panto in school on Friday afternoon. A theatre group are performing Cinderella for us. Class 10 are looking forward to the show!

Keep up all the good work
