TRANSCRIPT
Dear Parent/carer,
Thank you to all parents for supporting our morning routine. It is lovely to see our nursery
pupils coming into school confidently without any congestion in the corridors. Our end of day
routines are still causing some concerns for staff at the junior end of our school. At the end of
the day staff call out club lists to send pupils to wait for their club in the hall, then pupils with
permission to leave the yard are dismissed. Pupils waiting for parents are asked to line up in the
yard before walking to parents. Please can we ask that all parents / carers come into the yard and
do not call children from the ramp as they exit the school as teachers dismissing need to ensure
that children have gone directly to an adult. This is especially important when pupils are dismissed
by our music and drama teachers on a Tuesday afternoon.
Thank you to everyone for the tremendous support shown last Friday for our Macmillan
afternoon tea. Together you helped raise an amazing £234. Well done everyone!
Mrs. M. Teague (Head Teacher)

We need your junk!
As you know, this year we have turned our demountable into a creative studio. The children are
enjoying creating models and collages using household junk. Please recycle and send in your junk to
keep our supplies topped up. We need:-
Kitchen roll/tinfoil tubes tissue paper wool / string / thread ribbon
card cereal boxes corks pine cones yoghurt pots
plastic tubs egg boxes
Class 1 – Mrs. Catherine Thomas
The children have been finding out about coins. Reception have been
exploring 1p and 2p coins and the Year 1 children have been finding
different ways to make 10p and 20p using coins and Numicon plates.
The Reception children have been practicing their fine motor skills by
threading beads etc. They have also learned 5 new RWI sounds. Your
child will come home with these 5 sounds at the end of each
week. Please practice these sounds at home with your child and find
them in the environment. Year 1 children have been sharing their
earliest memories with their friends and had a go at typing up their
memory on HWB write. Reception children have been practicing typing
their name on the computer keyboard using HWB write.
Class 1 helped to support the MacMillan Event by creating their own
bunting for the occasion and wrote their own invitations for their
families. They also performed magnificently in front of an audience
during the event singing 5 nursery rhymes. Reception children will be
bringing home their 'Pori Drwy Stori' certificates soon.
Class 3 – Mrs. Abigail Williams
Another busy week in class 3. We have looked at features of a
recount, connectives and adjectives in English. In maths we have
been recapping column addition & subtraction with carrying &
borrowing. We then used these skills to carry out an investigation
on who stole the cupcakes from the fridge - we all loved this
activity! In topic we have been investigating and creating a time
line on the life of Alfred Russel Wallace & we have looked at the
harvest festival. In PE we have been practising our balancing &
ball skills. Everyone has worked really hard this week – let’s
keep it up!
Just a few reminders: remember to read your book every night &
you need your PE kit every Thursday.
Class 2 – Mrs. Donna Davies
Another very busy week in Class 2. We have all
written and edited our recounts from our school
trip to the Dylan Thomas Theatre, to see ‘The
Butterfly Hunter’. We have drawn mini-beasts
which we collected from our school garden. We
have researched features such as number of
wings, legs and antennae. We have looked at what
they eat (diet), where they live (habitat) and
camouflage. In Maths we have continued with
tables, days of the week (ordering before, after,
tomorrow and yesterday), 2D shape and fractions
(halves and quarters). We all wrote a lovely
‘Harvest’ prayer, which some of us read in our
MacMillan coffee afternoon. Thank you for those
who could join us and shared our ‘Harvest’ poetry.
Class 4 – Mr. David Allen
Class 4 have been working hard practicing their
number skills & practicing their methods. They are
continuing to practice times tables daily. I have been
impressed with the amount of reading pupils are
doing and have enjoyed reading in groups and
individually during our morning sessions. Please keep
up the practice at home! We are already working
hard studying our topic ‘Inventors & Explorers’. Pupils
have decided to create inventions and present these
in a dragons den style performance after half term.
Reminders – Homework is given on a Friday & due
the following Friday. Spelling words to be learnt and
practiced in the back of homework books. Test on a
Friday.

Nursery – Mrs. Dawn Jones
We have been learning about ourselves; drawing
our portraits on the interactive white board and
discussing our facial features. Our drawings have
been displayed in class and in the cloakroom.
We have learned 2 new sounds- “a” and “s”; the
children have enjoyed mark making activities for
these sounds and learning words beginning with
theses letter sounds.
The children have enjoyed our fine motor skills
area, using large tweezers to pick up small
coloured pom poms and using their fingers with
nuts and bolts.
