Dosbarth Gwy

Blynyddoedd 1 a 2 – Ffrwd Gymraeg

Croeso i Ddosbarth Gwy! Welcome to Dosbarth Gwy!

Our topic for this term is ‘Tedi bach ar Antur Mawr/Little Teddy on a Big Adventure’. During the term, we will be looking at the past and present of our local area, mainly focusing on the High Street in Builth Wells, the farmers market, the old/new school and St Mary’s Church. We have had a special visitor arrive in class (Paddington Bear) who wants to learn about the local area. Following his arrival we went on our Wellie Walk to look at what’s available on the High Street in Builth to begin with our topic.

Language and Numeracy

During the term, our focus will be enhancing the pupil’s oracy skills through creativity. We will retell our Wellie Walk orally, plan and tell a creative story using storyland, and learn new instructions in our cookery lesson.

Maths topics will include geometry, data handling and number. Our focus in numbers will be grouping and sorting, multiplication, division and money.

PE lessons

Our P.E. lesson will be every Friday. Our topic will be based on Dance. The lessons will be held inside and therefore they will need to dress appropriately. We ask that the children come to school in their P.E. kit every Friday. If for any reason your child is unable to participate in the lesson, please send an email to explain why.

Outdoor learning

We are extremely lucky that the Friends of the School has provided every pupil with their very own waterproofs to wear during school outdoor activities, this means you do not need to provide these. However, we do ask you to bring in a pair of wellies for your child (unless they already have a pair at school). Outdoor learning will be taking place daily, however, Dydd Iau ar y Cae will be every Thursday.
