Gwanwyn (Spring) Term

Mathematics and Numeracy:

We follow 'Maths No Problem' where pupils will be using their problem solving skills throughout every session. Pupils will work collaboratively to discuss and explore various methods, share their ideas and solve maths problems. This term will be focusing on place value and addition and subtraction. Pupils will also use their mathematical knowledge across all Areas of Learning and in different contexts to become ambitious capable learners.

Languages, Literacy and Communication:

LLC lessons run through our inquiry where we will be practising different genres of writing such as fiction, non-fiction and letter writing.
Oracy remains a focus and we will continue to use our sentence stems daily to communicate effectively with our peers and become confident, capable individuals.
We do daily Helpwr Heddiw sessions alongside a weekly 45 minute lesson – we will be focusing on the weather and clothing. In Spanish our focus will be simple questions and answers.

Here are two Welsh sentence patterns you can use linked to our topic:

Ble wyt ti'n byw? Where do you live?

Dwi'n byw yn Caerdydd. I live in Cardiff.

Sut mae'r tywydd heddiw? What's the weather like today?

Mae hi'n... It is...
