CROESO I FLWYDDYN 1&2!

Croeso i flwyddyn 1 and 2! We have so many exciting opportunities and activities planned for this, which I hope will add to the wonderful memories you've built so far at St John Lloyd! We are very lucky to have Miss Taylor supporting our learning this year! 

We will be implementing the four purposes of the new curriculum for Wales to inform our teaching.

This will allow all children to be:

• Ambitious, Capable Learners – through exploring what makes each of us happy through interviewing our friends and teachers.
• Enterprising, Creative Contributors – through arranging and planning their own Tiger Who Came To Tea Party and creating their own observational drawings of happy faces.  
• Ethical, Informed Citizens - taking part in a variety of outdoor learning activities, growing, caring for the environment and creating our own Class Charter based on the UNICEF: Children's Rights.
• Healthy, Confident Individuals – through learning all about what is right and wrong and how this effects our feelings, exploring what foods are healthy and not healthy

Our RE topic is ‘Families' and we will be thinking about our Big Question – Who Is In Our Family and Why Are Families Important? Our virtues focus for Autumn are: to be generous and grateful, thinking about how we can display these virtues at home and in school. 

In addition to this we will develop our ICT skills with a focus this term on staying safe online. We will also continue to develop our Welsh knowledge and our Maths skills will be posted to this page. We will also continue our Rights Respecting Schools Journey learning about our Rights and how they are present all around the world.
