ATTENDANCE
Headteachers Note
Our first term is over and it has been a very busy one!
Thank you to all the pupils and parents that made our pumpkin
carving competition a great success. They looked amazing in the
dark after the disco. Thanks to Councillor Dean Lewis for judging
the competition and to the friends of Ynysfach for organising
everything and providing prizes. I put loads of pictures on twitter
last night for all to see and the winners are listed on the right.
A huge goodbye and good luck to Amy and Joseph Mogford who
are leaving us today. I know they will be great in their new school
in Sennybridge.
Also good luck to Mrs Thomas in Year 4 who leaves us for a while
today, to go on maternity leave. We wish her all the best coping
with sleepless nights!
Thank you to everyone for their well wishes and congratulations,
as I was made permanent head of Ynysfach earlier this week.
They were much appreciated. As I said in my interview I am so
proud to work here with such amazing children, supportive
governors and parents and a brilliant staff.
Have a lovely break and see you on Monday 4th November.

Head teacher
Nursery Reception – Miss Gardiner. We have
thoroughly enjoyed reading 'Funny Bones' this fortnight to assist
our learning. We have been learning and the body, using our funky
fingers to build a skeleton and answering the question 'beth sy'n
bod?' We have also read the information book 'How Are You
Feeling?' to help us learn about our feelings and the different
ways of managing them. We have written a feelings poem,
created dances to show our different moods and sequenced how
we feel throughout the day. We have been busy planning for our
EPIC Friday too. We are excited to carve pumpkins, colour
skeletons, make spiders and listen to spooky tunes.

Year 1 – Mrs Pickering
Unfortunately Mrs. Pickering is not in school she’s ill
with Tonsillitis.
Year 3 – Mrs D’Angeli What a busy couple of weeks in Year
3! We have practised lots of oracy skills in welsh and used this
knowledge to plan our writing using extended sentences. In
numeracy we have been adding and subtracting multiples of 10,
some of us are making some very quick calculations indeed and
this has helped us complete our morning math’s starter tasks.
We can also use and understand signs that mean more than and
less than and used them to compare numbers, quantities and
money totals. Lots if us get quite excited when we complete next
step tasks in our math’s work and like completing extra
challenges too. In literacy we highlighted all the different
features in our own instructions and followed our own success
critetia carefully to complete our own set of instructions. We
have used our Own ideas to have a spooky Halloween Epic Friday
and we can’t wait to make halloween paintings, puppets, bunting
and spooky cakes... have a wonderful half term Year 3.
Year 4 Mrs Thomas It has been a busy few weeks in the Year 4
classroom and a great half term of hard work – Da iawn pawb! In
Literacy we wrote our own story innovations and designed a book cover
for it. We have also learned about acrostic poetry, completing shared
writing of an acrostic poem as well as writing our own on the theme of
‘Halloween’. In Math’s we have completed lots of addition and
subtractions sums, learned some facts about length, such as, the unit of
measurement we use and also measured items in centimeters. We have
also begun finding out about the properties of 3D shapes, which we will
continue after half term. We are all really enjoying our topic ‘Body
Beautiful’. We have been exploring the variety of organs inside our body,
we have found out the names and their function. We have also
investigated how exercise affects our heart rate. We predicted our heart
rate would be faster if we took part in lots of exercise. We have shown
our impressive welsh Oracy skills, by extending our answers when talking
about ourselves and writing great first person profiles. Our new teacher,
Miss Rogers, came in to class this week to see us. She is very excited to
be joining us after half term. Keep up the good behaviour and hard work
Year 4 – Mrs. Thomas will be watching Have a great half term!
Year 6 – Mrs Thomas We have had a very busy
couple of weeks. We have been down the Liberty Stadium
for a behind the scenes tour. It was great seeing the
difference between the home and away changing rooms
and also having opportunity to try on all the Ospreys
jerseys. We have also been coding in the Sony Centre in
Pencoed and again had a tour of the factory. In class, we
have been detectives this week solving the mystery of the
'Murder in the jigsaw shop' by answering the math’s
puzzles. It was great fun and we used lots of math’s skills
such as finding fraction and percentages of amounts and
equivalent measurements. Have a great half term and
keep safe.
Pupils Voice
Year 2 – Miss Evans This week we had a fantastic time in
St Fagans! Everyone loved the day and learned a lot about
schools in the past and shopping in Victorian times. The
children were really well behaved. On our return to school we
all wrote a recount about the visit, where they were able to
recall some of the features and include them in our writing.
We have been working on finding 1 more and 1 less, 10 more
and 10 less and partitioning 2 digit numbers. We have also
been using the past tense in Welsh to record our recount
orally. We have been discussing different types of foods and
have been able to categorize them. We have also collected
data on our favourite foods and graphed this data in a block
graph.
Miss LeMasurier Year 5 Year 5 have been working hard over the past two weeks. In maths, we have been learning to compare, simplify and find the equivalent fractions. We have also been looking at selecting the correct operation when given problems. In English, we have been learning to vary our sentences by including fronted adverbials, paragraph our writing and plan to write our stories. We have been working hard to make our stories interesting, following a character on an adventure and to include accurately punctuated speech. In Topic work, we have been learning how to read maps and to compare Resolven ‘Then and Now’, we have also shown this through our drama and art work. In Welsh, we have continued to work on our first person profiles, last week we wrote about ourselves and this week we wrote from the perspective of Aneurin Bevan. We researched facts about the NHS and how, and why, it was created. We round off the half term by making Halloween decorations and cakes as chosen by Year 5 for their EPIC Friday!
