Croeso i Ddosbarth Pump

Welcome to Class Five

Dosbarth 5 Staff:

Mrs Foxley (Class Teacher)

Miss Hughes (Class Teaching Assistant)

Croeso and welcome back to the start of the Summer term.

Our topic for this term will be 'The Great Outdoors'. The children will be spending lots of time outdoors learning about bugs and other animals in our environment. They will be getting creative to compose and perform some minibeast themed music. They will also be learning about collage and textile techniques to create their own artwork. They will be finding out about Seaside holidays from the past and comparing with holidays nowadays. 

PE Kit

Please can you make sure your child has the following PE kit fully labelled in a bag:

· White T—shirt

· Black or navy shorts

· Pumps or trainers

PE kits can be left in their boxes over the half term.

Outdoor Learning

Our outdoor classroom day is a Tuesday so please ensure children come to school in weather appropriate clothing.

Homework / Home reading

All pupils will be provided with a Homework task to complete each week along with a reading book and their reading record. 

Homework and reading books will be sent home on a Monday and need to be returned to school by Thursday.

Please encourage your child to read at home everyday and write a comment in their reading record.
