Croeso i  Flwyddyn 1/2!

Welcome back to a brand new year ,we cannot wait to continue our learning journey together.

This year your teachers will be Mrs Protheroe and Mrs Johnson.

We also have Mr Hart and Mrs Gough supporting us too.

This half term we will be focusing on the topic 'Who AM I?'.

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 who we are and how we grow and learn
• enterprising, creative contributors - such as   exploring the story  the day the crayons quit and Owl Babies 
• ethical, informed citizens - taking part in a variety of outdoor learning activities, growing, exploring and  caring for the environment and living out our own Class Charter based on the UNICEF: Children's Rights
• healthy, confident individuals - learning about staying safe in school and how we grow and change from babies to now

• In Maths this   term we will be looking at numbers within 20 ,shape mainly 3D ,adding and subtracting  , weighing, and money .

• Our RE topic for this term is Creation and Covenant where we will listen and respond to the story of God creating our beautiful world and recognise the promise God made us in the story of Noah's Ark.
