Welcome back to school Draenog's! It is so lovely to see you all back in school after a wonderful 2 week break for the Easter holiday! 

This term, we will be learning all about the Beauty of our local area and wider community of Swansea  The children have expressed how they find the beaches in our area beautiful and this is something we will begin to focus on! We will use picture books, our local area and the community and the areas in our classroom to delve deeper into our understandings. There will be a focus on recycling and caring for our environment to encourage the children to become Ethically, Informed Citizens helping in our local and wider community. 

Please see some of our pictures to show you how we have learnt this term!

Week 1

This week, we have read the story ‘Who Rules the Rockpool’ by Matty Long following the children explaining how much they wanted to learn about Sea Creatures 🐠🐬🐳🐙 the children found is fascinating to see how many sea creatures were in the rock pools and where the hide! After the story, the children used different masks to reinact the story and took on the different roles well👏🏼

In maths this week, we have been focusing on making groups of numbers using items and various things we found around the classroom🙂 here are some pictures of the children completing the task in their maths books ✨

We have seen so much lovely playing this week in our classroom! Mrs Myatt enjoyed playing in the big construction area whilst we made a boat which sailed the world and we avoided the sharks from jumping on board! Mrs Quick enjoyed playing in the small construction where the children made “The Kingdom of Everything” 👷🏻‍♀️👷🏾🧱 Miss Highland was also lucky to play in our home area this week where lots of children decided to play dress up! What a lovely week 🤍

Week 2
