Croeso i’r Dosbarth Derbyn 

Welcome back to a busy and exciting term in Reception and Year 1.

Our topic this half-term is ‘Wonderful Wales'

This half term we are very excited to explore the Big Question ‘Why is Wales wonderful?’ and begin to learn about our school, village and country. We will ask questions about Cymru and follow pupil ideas and interests to find out what makes Wales special, including learning about Welsh landmarks, language and culture for example. We will also be exploring different materials and investigating their uses as well as developing our vocabulary by using ‘amazing adjectives’ to describe them. In Literacy lessons we will continue to enjoy RWI activities, ORT reading books and begin to apply our knowledge of Alan Peat 2A sentences by describing some characters from Welsh history and stories. We will also continue to create our own story maps. 

In Reception, Maths will focus on exploring numbers between 0 and 10, as well as further investigation into mass and capacity through a variety of fun activities guided by White Rose Maths. 

Helping your child:

• Take an active role in your child’s education. (Our half termly Class newsletters have all the information you need to help at home and there are some website links and documents at the end of this page).

• Share important information about your child with me e.g. medication, any changes that may affect their well-being.

We actively encourage an open door policy whereupon we are happy to discuss any questions or issues that may arise throughout the school year. We only ask that you try to do this at the end of the day so that we can give you the time you deserve. By working together we are sure that we will make your child's time in Reception a very productive and happy one!
