Year 1
Welcome to Year 1
Spring Term 2023
We are a class of 20 children, with two class teachers, Mrs Fossett and Mrs Evans. We have a teaching assistant that help us as well called Mrs Berry.
This term, we are investigating our big questions Why are rights important? and How can I be responsible? We have begun our learning with a visit from a Celtic Warrior called Jem. From this we have planned the work that we wanted to do and used our characters, Ambitious Anwen, Healthy Hywel, Global Gethin, Creative Cariad and Digi Dec to help us. We will be looking at how Celtic people lived. We will be visiting St Fagan's to see a Celtic roundhouse and investigate what life was like for a Celtic tribe. We will also be attempting to make our own Celtic roundhouse and cooking some Celtic food on a camp fire. All of these activities will help us to be more like Global Gethin and strengthen our understanding of what life was like in Wales a long time ago. We will also be joining in with activities to support our Mental Health like yoga, circle time and mindfulness. We will be learning in the outdoors whenever we can.
Please make sure that you are signed up for our class Seesaw so that you can follow your child's learning and find out what they do each day. Also, please make sure that you are signed up to our school Facebook page where you will see weekly updates about our learning.
