CROESO I FLWYDDYN 2!

Croeso i flwyddyn 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 Mrs Shore and Ms Spear 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 who we are and how we grow and learn.
• Enterprising, Creative Contributors – through creating our own owl family after reading The Owl Who Is Afraid of the Dark. 
• 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 as a baby, child and adult.  

Our RE topic is ‘Creation and Covenant’. We will be exploring the Bible story of Noah’s Ark as we learn about God’s special promise to us all. We will explore the sacrament of Baptism and how we are all called to be members of God’s family. Our virtues focus for Autumn are: to be active and curious, 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.

Important Information

It is very important to complete your homework as this will reinforce the learning that happens in class. This year we will be using Seesaw for regular communication as well as homework.

Each Wednesday a Maths activity will be uploaded to My Maths which will be based on what your child is learning with their maths teacher that week.

Wednesday will be our PE day, so please can each pupil have a labelled PE bag with appropriate kit in.

It is very important to complete your homework as this will reinforce the learning that happens in class. Bug Club and My Maths will be set weekly.
