General Information
PE: For Autumn 1, Dosbarth Beech will be focussing on Cricket, where we are lucky to have Cricket Wales come in and deliver weekly sessions. Children are required to come in to school in their PE kit (a plain white top, ideally with the Alexandra badge on, black shorts/ leggings or tracksuit bottoms and black trainers or pumps). Please see seesaw weekly, for any updates.
Forest School: Dosbarth Beech will be having Forest School every Monday afternoon with Miss Jones. Children will need to bring their Forest School kit every Monday. A kit reminder has been sent out.
Autumn term – Celebrations
This term, our learning is centred around Celebrations — exploring how people celebrate themselves, others, their communities and cultures around the world. Children will develop a strong sense of identity and belonging while learning to appreciate diversity and the traditions that shape different groups of people.
Humanities
Children investigate identity, community, culture and beliefs. They will explore local traditions, Welsh celebrations, significant people and community events, as well as celebrations from around the world. This helps them understand how celebrations bring people together and what they reveal about shared values.
Literacy
Through the theme of celebrations, pupils will write personal profiles, recounts, biographies, invitations, posters, and information texts. They will also develop speaking and listening skills through presentations and discussions linked to our topic.
Health & Wellbeing
Children learn about identity, self‑esteem, teamwork and belonging. They will explore how celebrating achievements — their own and others’ — helps build confidence and respect for differences.
Cymraeg
Learners will practise talking about themselves, their interests and achievements in Welsh. They will learn vocabulary for celebrations and occasions, explore Welsh traditions, and take part in Welsh songs and greetings.
Science & Technology
Children explore light and sound through celebrations such as fireworks and Diwali lamps. They will investigate seasonal changes and use digital tools to research celebrations and create presentations or videos.
Numeracy
Maths learning links to celebrations through place value, number patterns, and real‑life problem solving using dates, events and number sequences. Children will compare and order numbers and work on addition and subtraction in meaningful contexts.
Expressive Arts
Pupils take part in celebration‑themed music, dance, crafts, drama, and performance. They will create decorations, explore cultural art forms and participate in role‑play linked to festivals and community events.
RVE (Religion, Values & Ethics)
Children learn why people celebrate, explore religious festivals such as Diwali, Eid, Christmas and Hanukkah, and compare beliefs and values across cultures. They will discuss similarities and differences respectfully.
