In Dosbarth Sycamore Mr. Jones is the class teacher with Miss Roche as our Teaching Assistant. We now have PE twice weekly. Monday & Friday. Please make sure the children bring in: black shorts, white t-shirt and suitable trainers for PE. Mrs Walker will cover the class for one morning a week to allow Mr Jones his PPA. During these sessions she will deliver Welsh and ICT.
Mr Jones has his management time on a Monday afternoon. This time is covered by Miss H Jones, she will be providing extra PE sessions as Year 5 & 6 do not do Forest Schools in the summer term.

Homework
This half term, while the rest of the school explores the theme “How Things Work”, our class will be following a special project called “Brymbo Man”. This is part of an exciting transition project in collaboration with Rhosnesni High School and local primary schools. Together, we’ll explore the fascinating discovery of the Brymbo Man — a Bronze Age skeleton found right here in Wrexham. Our homework grid reflect both themes. The homework activities cover the six areas of learning and are set as Must, Should, and Could tasks, so everyone has a chance to take part at their own level.

Helping @ Home
Reading: It is so important the children continue to read at home as much as possible, either by themselves or to an adult. Books can be brought home from school, borrowed from the library or be your own but please encourage your child to try a variety of genres and authors. All children have a Reading Diary. The children or yourselves need to complete the diary when they read.
Spelling
There will be one piece of spelling homework a week and this will be sent out on a Wednesday. The spellings will be shared in class and posted on the children's Seesaw. Children will be tested on those spellings the following Wednesday. Please can you encourage your children to learn their spelling words as it will help them when completing their independent writing and help to improve the quality of their work.
Maths
All children have a login for Times Table Rockstars (TTRS). Accessing this at home is very important as we don’t often have the time in school to spend practicing our times table skills, but we do need to apply them daily. If anyone has any problems accessing TTRS, please let me know and I can sort this out straight away.
Children also have logins/access to the following learning platforms (see links below). All logins have been sent home with your child. Encourage your child to be as proactive as possible at home. Please click on the links below to take you directly to the websites:
