Mrs Evans

Our topic this term is

"Y Ddraig Coch".

This term we are learning all about Wales. We will be reading the Welsh story called 'Dinas Emrys'. We will be finding out about the Welsh flag and our red dragon, castles, knights, prince, princesses and a Welsh artist called Rhiannon Roberts.

We have already discussed and shared ideas as a whole class as your child's learning is always pupil led. The children hope to learn Welsh folk dancing, make Welsh cakes and cawl and sing some traditional Welsh songs. They have suggested having a 'Reading Cave' in our class and a castle role play area. They would really like to have these areas in our class ready for the friendly visitor that called to see us.

Did you know...

We recently had a very mysterious visitor in our class. The visitor toppled furniture, left bones and burnt paper in our classroom. After lots of thought and discussion the children believe it may be a dragon...possibly a red dragon!

School Trip

On Tuesday 4th February we will be going on a school trip to Cardiff Castle. This will be a great opportunity for the children. They will have a tour of the castle and a play workshop full of action, games, competitions and storytelling based around the theme of dragons and knights.

REMEMBER

Please can you ensure that all items of pupils clothing are clearly labelled. Label coats, cardigans, jumpers etc

We have an hydration Station area in school. Please send a labelled bottle of water in to school so that your child can have a drink throughout the day.

Our PE is on a Thursday afternoon. Please can all children come to school wearing jogging bottoms, white t-shirt, school jumper and trainers.
