Welcome to Class Five
Dosbarth 5 Staff:
Mrs Foxley (Class Teacher)
Mr Kinloch (Teaching Assistant - all day)
Miss Jones (Teaching Assistant - PM only)
Croeso and welcome back to the start of a new term.
Our topic for this term is ‘People and Community’. The children will be learning about maps and finding out about people who help us in the community. They will use their science skills to solve problems about different materials and will be getting creative when designing and making their own puppet. The children will be finding out information about significant people who have helped others from the past too. In Jigsaw work this term, the children will be focusing on the themes ‘Being Me in My World’ and ‘Celebrating Differences’.
PE Kit
Please can you make sure your child wears their PE kit every Tuesday:
· Plain white T—shirt

Outdoor Learning
Our outdoor classroom day is a Thursday so please ensure children come to school in weather appropriate clothing.
Home reading
All pupils will be given a reading book to take home each week .
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 yellow reading record.
Digital Learning
In school we use a variety of learning platforms which can be accessed from home.
· Hwb—https://hwb.gov.wales
· Bug club—activelearnprimary.co.uk
· TT Rock stars—https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school/student
All pupils know how to access these websites and their digital passports have been sent home in their homework books. Please encourage your children to use these websites at home as well as in school.
Healthy Snack
Healthy snack is available to buy each day in school. This is £1 per week or £8 for the half term. This now needs to be paid in cash.
We are looking forward to a successful and happy Autumn term in Class 5!
