This week's news:

Dydd Gwener Hapus pawb! 

What a fantastic week we have had in Year 1!

In Language, we have been writing our own fairy tale stories. The children have included all the important features of a fairy tale – characters, settings, a problem and a solution. They have been incredibly imaginative and have come up with some wonderful ideas. We are so proud of their creativity and storytelling skills!

In Maths, we are continuing to use Honeycomb Maths. The children have been exploring numbers by creating their own addition and subtraction sums. They have shown great confidence in working with numbers and explaining their thinking.

At the start of the week, we enjoyed a Kinetic Theatre workshop which focused on performance and expression. The children had a brilliant time taking part in a range of engaging activities and really enjoyed performing together. It was a fantastic experience for everyone!

In Welsh, we have been learning to use “Ga i…?” which means “Can I have…?” The children have been practising asking for classroom items in Welsh, such as “Ga i bencil?” and “Ga i rwber?” Fantastic speaking everyone!

Please check out Google Classroom for some bits and bobs to do over the holidays if you have time, and there is also some information about our Eisteddfod competition.

Have a wonderful half term and a well-deserved rest.

Best wishes,
The Year 1 Team 🌟
