Welcome back to school and your new class!

Croeso Dosbarth Chwech!

I hope you all had a lovely summer holiday!
Here is some useful information for you for the Autumn term 2010:

P.E. is on Wednesday so please bring your P.E. kit to change into.
The topic for this term is 'Changes'. We are learning about the 'Tudors' and also 'Rocks and Soils'. Thank you to all those who have brought in information and items about this topic - they have been very useful. The children thoroughly enjoyed their 'Tudor visit' in which they were given the opportunity to dress up in Tudor clothes, handle artefacts from this period and learn a Tudor dance!

It would be helpful if you could practise your 2, 10 and 5 times tables at home and go over telling the time - o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to - analogue and digital). The children have been working very hard with money this week which could possibly be put into practise in their everyday life. 

Well done to you all for working hard and settling back in after your summer break.

Welcome to our class blog.

I hope parents and children had a lovely Christmas and I'd like to wish you all a happy new year.

Our topic work for the Spring term will include learning about:

• The Celtic (and Roman) period
• The Earth, Moon and Sun
• Electricity and Light

I would be grateful if you have any interesting artefacts, photographs or books related to any of the above that we might borrow, or if you have any personal experiences or expertise in these areas, you might like to share them with the class. Any internet research will be more meaningful to your if it is restricted to pictures or material specifically prepared for children.

It would be helpful if you could practise mental addition/subtraction, 3, 4 and 6 times tables (keep practising the 2, 5 and 10!) and telling the time. Please help your child by reciting tables in a fun way. We will be focusing mainly on numbers to 1,000, learning to count on/back and investigating patterns, sequences and ordering.

Remember to read as much as possible. Ask questions such as "why did he do that?" or "what do you think happens next?" would help children in understanding text and aid comprehension work.

P.E. is on Wednesday so please remember to bring your kit.

Thank you for your support.
