Nursery Weekly Blog
Prynhawn da.
What a fantastic week we have had in Nursery, it is hard to know where to start.
We welcomed a new member to our class which was really exciting because we love making new friends and adding to our nursery team. We have also been working very hard learning Welsh and practising our skills. We have done this with our friends Fflic and Fflac who have helped us learn how to ask and answer ‘pwy wyt ti?’ Importantly we had a very special assembly about the Welsh Ambulance Service. We talked all about life saving skills and when to call 999 in an emergency.
There was another big event with a visit from the school photographer. We were all looking our best to have our first school photograph taken and this includes with our brothers and sisters for some of us. We cannot wait for you to see the photographs!
We would also like to take this opportunity to say how grateful we all are and to thank you for all the donations we have received in readiness for the upcoming Harvest Festival.
Year 4 Weekly Evaluation 16th October 2020
This week has been filled with lots of lovely learning. Our topic sessions have been enjoyable and it’s been great to watch the children working more independently during the mission tasks. It’s truly an honour to work with such hard working and conscientious young people.
We have focused on question words ‘Who?, What?, When?, Where?, Why? How?’ in response to stimulus pictures of children being evacuated in 1939 and they wrote some fantastic question sentences as a result. We also have a focus on making our sentences more interesting by using the connectives ‘and, but, so, because’ in our writing. The children really have worked well to improve their writing skills.
Next week we’ll be writing a non-chronological report about different kinds of shelters and comparing Anderson, Morrison and public shelters used in WW2 with modern day shelters which are necessary to home people when they find themselves in time of need.
In maths we’ve been using our knowledge of times tables to complete grid multiplications and have also been working on unit fractions of amounts. It’s been lovely to see the children being so enthusiastic as they expand their knowledge of times tables. I know that many of the children have been working at home to learn them and thank you for the time you have spent supporting them, as their learning is certainly a partnership between parent and teacher.
I hope that you all have an enjoyable and relaxing weekend.
Kind regards
Miss H Hughes and Mrs Jones

Welcome back to the year 4 blog!
Every week we seem to have exciting news to tell you. This week we have most enjoyed beginning to make our paper mache planets during our mission time. It is a messy job but we LOVE it! Today has been sports relief and we have run our socks off and showed we have the skills to pay the bills!
In literacy Mrs Lloyd came in to teach with Mr Hazel on Wednesday. We did an oracy lesson all about washing our hands. We are going to teach the reception children how to do it properly! In maths we have had another tricky week learning about fractions of a set and equivalent fractions.
Tune in the same time next week for more news!
Hwyl fawr, Year 4
11th October 2019
It has been a fantastic week in school.
In literacy this week we used our recount plan to write our own recount on how to build a pyramid. We remembered to use first, then, next, after that and finally. We used the 5 w’s WHAT? WHERE? WHY? WHO? WHEN? and we finished our recount by writing how we felt.
In our mathematics lessons we looked at number words and practised putting them in the correct order, from smallest to largest.
Our favourite activities this week was writing our names in hieroglyphics and making Egyptian necklaces with repeating patterns.

This week was has been a little bit different. For three days we were taught by Mrs Bowen because Mr Hazel had important meetings. She was lovely!
We did some literacy work on adverbs and adverbial Phrase. It was quite difficult work but Mr Hazel had told Mrs Bowen we could handle it. He was right! We worked as hard as a worker ant carrying leaves to his nest (see – we really did work hard). We have also started working on imagery poems with Mr Hazel.
In maths we have been learning to tell time and find differences between times. This was also hard but we stuck at it and are now masters of time. AND WE CAN PROVE IT!!
One of the most fun lessons this week was a problem solving activity on Tudor Jewellery. We had to work systematically to figure it out. Fitness Friday was exciting this week because we walked to the community center and played dodgeball. It was AWESOME!
Next week is the last week before half term and our Homework Logs need to be in on Monday!
Evaluations Week Ending 27-09-19
We have had a fun packed week in Year 1/2.
In Literacy we enjoyed talking about all of the exciting things we had been up to on the weekend. We made a list of all these actions. We found out we had been swimming, playing, running, watching and reading. Mrs Edmund’s told us how these actions are called VERBS. We worked in our groups to change them into past tense, e.g. walk/walked, play/played!!
In Numeracy we practised writing our numbers in our neatest handwriting. We were very good at remembering to write the numbers the right way round! We also learnt how to double numbers using our fingers, numicon and with multi-link. We set our friends a doubling challenge with ladybird spots.
Our favourite lessons this week has been finding out more things about the Egyptians. We were very surprised to find out that everyone loved to wear make-up! We are really looking forward to spending time in our Cleopatra’s Jewellers next week (Thank You for all your kind donations)
We will be bringing home consent forms today for our school trip to the Egyptian Museum on Thursday 10th October. We can’t wait!!
