Hydref (Autumn Term 2026)

Mathematics and Numeracy:

We follow 'Think! Mathematics' 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, comparing numbers 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 is at the heart of our curriculum. We will use sentence stems daily to communicate effectively with our peers and practice our oracy skills to become confident speakers and communicators.
We complete daily Helpwr Heddiw sessions alongside a weekly 45 minute lesson. We also complete 20 minutes of Spanish and Mandarin every week.

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...

Inquiry Based Learning:

Our inquiry this term is through Expressive Arts and our big question is "How do stories and films help us understand our identity?" Through looking at digital media, such as stories, film and stop motion animations, we will be learning about the key concepts of identity, belonging and emotions.
