The four purposes of the new curriculum for Wales inform our teaching. Our learning experiences enable our pupils to be:

• ambitious, capable learners who undertake research and evaluate critically what they find and are ready to learn throughout their lives
• enterprising, creative contributors who give of their energy and skills so that other people will benefit and are ready to play a full part in life and work
• ethical, informed citizens who show their commitment to the sustainability of the planet and are ready to be citizens of Wales and the world
• healthy, confident individuals who have the skills and knowledge to manage everyday life as independently as they can and are ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society.

Literacy

We understand the importance of literacy skills and their use within the wider world.  As part of your child's literacy lessons, they will be learning to spell words relating to specific patterns each week in class.  

PE

PE will take place every Tuesday . Please bring in shorts/leggings/tracksuit and a t-shirt. The children will also need trainers and in the colder months, a fleece or sweatshirt. Earrings will need to be removed or covered with tape before the children come to school.  

During this term children in Year 1 will explore the following during their PE lessons;

Different types of movement

Dance

Gymnastics

Working with a partner and in a group

Bug Club

It is expected that the children use Bug Club to support and develop their reading skills at home. Books have been assigned to each child. 

Mathletics 

Each child has been given a Mathletics log on and password. Tasks have been assigned to your child and these need to be completed every week at home.
