In Language, Literacy and Communication we will be looking at a range of texts to link with our Context for Learning. We will be looking at fiction and non-fiction texts and video clips as stimuli for Oracy and Writing. We will be learning to present our written work and ideas using ICT and develop our presentation skills.

LLC lessons will incorporate daily Handwriting, Spelling/Phonics, Grammar and Punctuation as well as Guided Group Reading and extended Writing over the course of a week. Literacy lessons are 9.00 – 10.25 daily.

The pupils will also have many opportunities to practice their Literacy skills cross-curricularly, through our Context for Learning topic and free-choice reading, writing and maths areas.

In line with the Curriculum for Wales guidance of introducing an international language at primary level, we will be looking at learning a little French, and about French culture in the form of activities such as songs, rhymes and video clips.

P.E. is on a Tuesday. Please ensure that your child wears appropriate kit to school on this day. P.E. will be outdoors when possible so it is vital the children wear trainers or black pumps.

Personal & Social Development sessions will focus on wellbeing. This is approached through stories and circle time.

Class Dojo is our school reward system and a useful tool to aid parent/teacher communication. The children earn points for a variety of skills, not only for learning but also attributes such as kindness, friendship and teamwork. The app will notify you when your child receives a point. All points gained combine together to earn a whole class reward when we reach our target.

Class Dojo is the best place to contact me directly with any concerns, queries or questions and where I will share information and photographs with you.
