This Week’s News

Dydd Gwener Hapus pawb!

What a warm week it has been! Despite the heatwave, the children have been incredibly sensible — drinking plenty of water and applying suncream at break times. We were very proud of how well they looked after themselves.

🌱 Our Minibeast Inquiry

We have continued practising for our minibeast concert this week, and the children are doing brilliantly. They are becoming so confident at remembering their lines and knowing exactly when to say them. Their dance moves have been fantastic too. It has been wonderful to see the enthusiasm they have brought throughout this enquiry.

🔢 Maths

In maths, we focused on numbers to 100, looking closely at place value and how we write larger numbers using tens and ones. The children practised partitioning numbers using dienes and explaining how they knew which part represented the tens and which part represented the ones.

✏️ Language

In language, the children worked on phonics picture‑prompt sentences, applying their sounds carefully in independent writing. We also talked about what makes a good news reporter, watched an example, and created a list of what the reporter did well. This will prepare us for next week, when the children will be interviewing each other to find out what they have learnt during our minibeast inquiry. In inquiry, the children added new pages to their bug books and designed their own super bug, combining creativity with descriptive writing.

🗣️ Welsh

In Welsh, we continued practising our taught sentence patterns, building confidence through games and short speaking activities.
