Mr Heitzman, Mrs Davies and Miss Jones 

Welcome to Dosbarth Elder's Class Page

In Dosbarth Elder, Mr Heitzman is our class Teacher and Mrs Davies is our class Teaching Assistant. We are very lucky to have Miss Jones who runs our Forest School with us every week as well. 

Here on our class page you will find all of the important documents you need and take a look at our learning in action. 

Our Focus - Gresford Mining Disaster

In this topic, we will explore the history of Wrexham through the story of the Gresford mining disaster and its lasting impact on our local community. We will visit and be visited by the Wrexham Miners Project to learn about life as a miner, working conditions, and the events surrounding the disaster. In Literacy, we will write diary entries from the perspective of miners and their families. We will also develop interview skills to create a podcast, design commemorative Wrexham AFC kits, and produce a class mural and clay memorial inspired by the Gresford colliery wheel, reflecting on remembrance and community.

Here you will find our Homework grids. This half term our homework grid is for 'Disasters'.
