Class Assembly - Little People, Big Dreams!
The story of Ernest Shackleton shows us how courage, determination, and teamwork can help us overcome even the toughest challenges. Shackleton dreamed of exploring the frozen wilderness of Antarctica, and though his journey was full of hardships, he never gave up. His bravery reminds us that with big dreams and a strong spirit, we can achieve amazing things. Let his story inspire us to dream big, work hard, and never lose hope, no matter how difficult things may seem.

This term, our class will be diving into an exciting theme called Power Up! The Magic of Electricity and Magnetism. This theme will guide our learning across several areas of the curriculum, helping us explore fascinating topics while building important skills.
Our Key Areas of Focus
1. Humanities – Humans and the Natural World: Sustainability
We will explore the relationship between humans and the natural world, with a focus on sustainability. Through our discussions and activities, we will look at how we can use resources responsibly, comparing renewable and non-renewable energy sources.
2. Science – Electricity and Magnetism
Our science lessons will focus on understanding the basics of electricity and magnetism. We’ll learn how circuits work, the importance of magnets in everyday life, and even conduct experiments to see these forces in action.
3. Health and Wellbeing – Me and My World (Financial Skills)
To complement our theme, we will also think about financial skills as part of "Me and My World." This will include practical activities like budgeting and understanding the cost of energy, helping children develop real-world skills.
Literacy
In literacy, we will focus on Discussion Writing—learning to present and explore different sides of an argument. For example, we’ll debate the pros and cons of renewable versus non-renewable energy. As a hook for our theme, we will be using the story The Tin Forest by Helen Ward and Wayne Anderson. This beautiful tale will inspire our discussions and creative activities around sustainability and renewal.
Maths
In maths, we will continue to develop key skills in:
- Multiplication and Division
- Length and Perimeter
- Money
These areas will also tie into our theme, with activities like calculating energy costs and understanding measurements in practical, real-life contexts.
Welsh Mathematicians
To celebrate our Welsh heritage, we will learn about notable Welsh figures in mathematics, such as Robert Recorde, who invented the equals sign.
We are thrilled about the exciting opportunities this term brings and look forward to seeing the children grow in their knowledge and skills.
Welcome back all! Looking forward to a new term together.
Festive fun on our final day of term
A fun morning out at the cinema. A lovely Christmas treat

Our current theme - Data, Diversity, and Division, is centred around technology and empathy. In technology, we will be learning to use J2Data to input data into prepared databases and spreadsheets. We’ll also create graphs, tables, and charts to represent the data we collect. Alongside this, we will be exploring empathy, focusing on understanding and valuing people who are different. We are using the novel, We’re All Wonders by R.J. Palacio to guide discussions and activities about kindness and acceptance.
In Maths, we will work on multiplication and division, while in Literacy, we’ll focus on writing character descriptions, bringing characters to life with rich detail and imaginative language.

The Mad Science Experiment 💫
Diolch Ella! Thanks for sharing your Welsh diary extract with us

An exciting class trip, where we visited the Swansea Mosque, Joe’s Ice Cream Parlour, and Oriel Science. At the mosque, the children learned about different religious practices and how visiting religious buildings helps us show empathy and understanding toward people of different faiths. This visit was a great opportunity for the class to appreciate diversity and respect other cultures. After a delicious treat at Joe’s Ice Cream Parlour, we headed to Oriel Science, where the children had lots of fun watching and taking part in exciting science investigations!
