General Information
PE: For Autumn Term 1, Dosbarth Beech will be focussing on dance and linking this into Welsh dancing as well as Diwali. This will be every Thursday afternoon. Children will need their PE kit every Thursday.

Autumn 1 - Reach for the Stars & Dyma Fi!
For the first two weeks of the term we will be solely focussing on the children. This is an opportunity for me to get to know my new class better and for the children to learn about their friends and themselves. We will be looking at achievements, goals, aiming high and what we might want to be when we grow up. After that we will flow naturally into Dyma Fi! A Welsh driven topic to allow the children to practise their increasing Welsh skills.
PE - in PE we will be focussing on Dance, we will be looking into different traditional dances from different countries and cultures and then allowing the children to get stuck into creating their own.
Maths - Place Value and Number is a main focus so any types of number games you can play at home with your children would be very beneficial.
English - This half term we will focus on writing Personal Profiles using the stimuli 'Can I Build Another Me?' by Shinsuke Yoshitake. We will then be moving onto writing our very own poetry based on a poem called 'The Magic Box'.
Homework
Here you will find our Homework grids which will usually be posted every second Friday of a fresh half term. There are 6 activities in total all differentiated so please choose which activities you think are most appropriate for your child and complete at least 3. You can submit Homework via Seesaw, Twitter or bring it into school. All children should be able to upload to Seesaw from home but if you have any trouble with this, contact the class teacher via Seesaw. We expect the children to be sending home via their own accounts and not through parent's messages as it encourages independence and ICT skills.
