Read Write Inc

Here are the letters we have been working on this term. Ask your child to tell you the phrase we say to write them.
At home they can write with: Paints, pens, crayons, finger in shaving foam on a tray etc.

Get down to the dough disco

Penblwydd Hapus!

This week we are learning to sing Happy Birthday in Welsh! You can watch it on Cyw and join in….http://cyw.s4c.co.uk/cy/gwylio-a-gwrando#gwylio-a-gwrando/caneuon/can-pen-blwydd

Great play dough recipe!

If you're giving the dough disco a go, why not try making your own play dough? Much cheaper than the shops!  http://theimaginationtree.com/2012/04/best-ever-no-cook-play-dough-recipe.html

BETH SY'N DIGWYDD YR WYTHNOS HON?

This week is our last week of the dinosaur topic so what better way to end than organising a party!!!
What's Happening this week?

It's Harry's birthday and we need to plan a party for him.

We have lots of problems to solve and tasks to complete:

What do we need? How many candles does he need? Which dinosaurs need the biggest/smallest cakes?

Writing invitations; making dinosaur biscuits; creating an attractive party tablecloth; talking about
how we feel when it's our birthdays;


We are going to practise a dinosaur  party dance and play fun party games.

If you have a picture of your child at any birthday party, please could we borrow it to share with everyone?

We can't believe that the first half term is over so soon and we are thrilled at how all of the pupils have progressed!!

Diolch!

The Diolch Song

We love this song at Amser Llaeth/Milk Time!

What a beautiful day for an autmnal walk.

We picked up lots of autumn leaves and twigs. We talked about the colours and how they change. We sang our Welsh songs and explored the school grounds.

We are busy Acorns!

Harvest!

As part of our harvest celebrations this week, we will be learning about the changes in seasons.

If the weather is kind to us, we would like to take the children to our school field to collect leaves, twigs etc to identify changes and to make Autumn crowns. If you have any lovely leaves, acorns or conkers, please could you send them in?

Please send a pair of wellies in on Friday, clearly labelled as well as a good coat. Fingers crossed for the weather!

Tap, Tap, Tap...

We all love our new tapping boards. We are learning the
names of the shapes.
