Croeso,
Welcome back to school everyone and a special welcome to our new boys Emlyn, Robbie and Tee-Jay who appear to have settled in well and we are all enjoying their company. We have all settled into and are enjoying our new class, it feels like we have always been there.
This term our theme is 'Materials'; in Science we will be looking at the properties and uses of materials. In D.T. we will explore materials and make a textile tree. We will explore materials used in Roman times as this is our area of study in History. Our theme web and a letter will be sent home Monday giving more detail including P.E. days. P.E. kits should be brought in as soon as possible and can be left in school for the half term.
To link with our study of the Romans we have arranged a trip to see Horrible Histories Rotten Romans at the New Theatre in November. Please send in permission slips this weeks as seats have to be booked.
I'm sure we will have a busy term which will send us hurtling towards Christmas. If you have any concerns please contact me.
Hwyl,
Mrs. Hussey

Hello,
Since our return to school after the half-term break we've had an enjoyable three weeks in school. During our first week back we held our eisteddfod and how proud I was to see our class recite their welsh poem so enthusiastically. They all sat so well and enjoyed watching all the items which were of such good standard.
Last week we were very priviliged to have an insight into different religions, hinduism, sikhism and judaism. We looked at their artefacts and dress and what they represent. We learned about their beliefs and learned that there are many things that are similar in each religion. The children were very well-behaved and respectful during our visit to a synagogue. The week ended with our very successful 'pink' day, the sun shone and the school looked lovely. Mrs Williams would have been proud. Sukie was awarded the special edition pink 'Seren yr Wythnos' for her keen interest and showing how much she learned during RE week.
This week we have enjoyed the sunshine and have been out weeding our planters ready for planting. Tomorrow we will have our 'chairing of the bard' ceremony.
Let's hope the sun continues to shine.

Hello again,
Christmas is a distant memory now and we are already at the end of January. We are hoping that we have seen the end of the heavy snow and are now looking forward to signs of Spring, lighter mornings and evenings. The children have settled in well and are all working hard and trying their best.
Our theme this term has moved from 'Changes' and changed to 'Movement'. You should all have received a letter outlining what the children will be learning this term. In Science and P.E. they have already been looking at forces that move our body and objects; pushing and pulling. They will continue to look at forces, friction, and gravity. In Art they have been studying images and sketching people in movement. We plan to make a sculpture of a moving body and in D.T. will design and make a moving picture.
Our topic in History continues to be World War II focussing on rationing, the Blitz, and air raid shelters, and how Britain had changed at the end of this period. Any photographs or artefacts would be greatly appreciated. We are coming to the end of our reading of 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' which links with World War II and Winter. We will then begin another Michael Morpugo book.
Please support your children by hearing them read, especially at weekends, encouraging them with their homework, and ensuring they keep their P.E. kit in school.
During the next three weeks the children will be completing their art and handwriting entries for our Eisteddfod. They will also be practising the Welsh poem copies of which will be sent home to practise.
All support is greatly appreciated.
