Hi Everyone,

Would like to wish you all a lovely Easter break. We have had a lovely Spring term in year one. We really enjoyed our topic on Magic Moments. Children created some fab work in their books. We had a great time in Newport Wetlands. My first visit there and it was a brill day full of fun. Children wrote some wonderful reports on their visit.

The sun has been lovely and my children have had a fun day today in the forest creating some Easter Bonnets from the natural enviroment. Our next few days will be packed with fun creating some lovely Easter craft.

I am very proud of my year one class. They are growing into mature and responsibile children. They are making great progress and I am confident to say they are already ready to enter year 2. So I am really looking forward to what the summer term will bring.

Keep posted to find out what our theme will be for next term. Enjoy the Easter break and ther sun.

Magic Moments

Hello Everyone

Happy 2012!  We are really enjoying 2012 so far and have been really busy!  We have been looking into our theme 'Magic Moments' and finding out about lots of different places in the world.  Thank you for all the Chinese resources you brought into school.  We had a super chinese day and celebrated the year of the dragon by cooking a stir fry and making a big chinese dragon for our display.  It was great fun!

We are looking at france at the moment and the children have made lots of French artefacts and have loved building the Eiffel Tower with Mrs Ryan!  We have learnt some French Phrases like bon jour and merci.  Dylan's mum is very kindly coming to talk to us about france and teach us some French songs!

I will be sending home a family tree sheet some for the children to put a photo of someone special in their family on.

We are busy getting ready for the Eisteddfod in the next fortnight singing songs and saying poems!

Bye for now!

Class update

Hi, class 10 are settling in very well and are enjoying the activities they have been undertaking so far this term.

A few reminders:
PE is on Thursdays so can all children please bring kit.
Can all children please record and make comments in reading records so that I can monitor progress being made with reading at home.
Please ensure your child has wellies in school for outdoor activities.
Thanks!!!

We are setting up a materials investigation table in the classroom so any objects from home made of wood, metal, glass or plastic that you don't mind being handled would be much appreciated. These objects will be returned at the end of term.

It would be beneficial to your child if you could continue practsing letter and number formation at home.

Looking forward to our Harvest celebrations next week and thank you all for your support with the Ty Hafan sponsorship.

Welcome back!!!

Hi all,

It's lovely to be back at school after being off having my baby.  Glad you haven't forgotten me!

It's been a busy week so far settling into the new class.  I hope you all received the topic web and information to parents letter so you know what we are up to this term.  We would be grateful for anything for our role play and also junk for modelling.

Don't forget PE kits on Thursday and try and get dress yourself each morning as practice!

Enjoy your weekend

Mrs Street

Just a quick note to say a big thank you for all the lovely cards and gifts we recieved last week. It was very kind of you all.

I can't believe we are already saying goodbye to our Reception class. They've been a lovely class and we are going to miss them very much.

Have a fantastic summer and we look forward to seeing you around school in September.

Love,
Mrs Morris, Miss Williams and Mrs Ryan x

Hello,

As usual we've been very busy in class 11. At the moment we are practising for our sports day inbetween all the rain! We've got our fingers crossed for lots of sunshine next Thursday.

We had a fantastic day last Tuesday at Noah's Ark. The children loved it and did some super work about their favourite things. Top of the list was the giraffe who kicked the zebra and then stuck his tongue out! They also enjoyed the very bumpy tractor ride (despite getting soaked) and watching the tiger at feeding time.

Thank you to everyone who was out bird watching over the half term. The children have painted some lovely pictures of the birds they spotted using watercolours.

Another thank you to those who have sent in plants. We have planted them and are now watching them grow. The children picked our lettuce a couple of weeks ago and made litttle salad bowls for their snack. We are still waiting for the carrots to get bigger so we can pull them up.

I look forward to seeing you all at the school fete tomorrow.

Hello,
The children have settled back into school well after the Easter holidays. I enjoyed listening to all the exciting news they had to tell!
We started the new term with a change. Instead of the children coming into class and sitting down for the register they now come in and self register and then, with a couple of friends, choose a game from the 'wellbeing box'. The games all involve sharing and taking turns and the children seem to love playing them.
We have started our new topic 'In my little garden' by reading the book 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. The children have painted some wonderful fruit for our display. We've been finding 1 more/1 less and adding sets of fruits together. We've been learning the days of the week and talking about what we do on different days.
The children are enjoying playing in our campsite outside. They've been sleeping in tents, cooking sausages on the BBQ and buying goodies from the campsite shop!
Unfortunatly, due to the weather, we didn't manage to get to the garden centre on Friday. Hopefully the weather will brighten up soon and we'll take a walk down to the Woodland Walk garden centre to look at the plants.
Look out for your information sheets this week which will tell you about what we're doing in Reception this term.
