Autumn 2024

Welcome back children to new beginnings in Dosbath 6. We have had a wonderful first three weeks. It has been a pleasure getting to know everyone. We are already developing positive relationships inside and outside of class. It is already shining through in many aspects of your learning. Congratulations to our new Ambassadors, House Captions and Ministers. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, you make us all very proud. This terms topic is Ble rwyt ti’n byw? Where do you live? Our class focus is Medieval Trellech where we will be looking at the current geographical features of Trellech and then stepping back in time to investigate what Trellech may have looked like during medieval times. We stated our topic by walking around the village with Dosbarth 5, identifying human and physical geographical features, noting their location and purpose. In literacy, we are reading the novel ‘The Letter for the King’ which is centred around a medieval Kingdom. To kick this off, the children all chose drama to retell the story. They have been enthusiastic and have taken on board the challenge. This has allowed them to express their personalities and show off their acting and directing skills. In addition to this, they used their senses explore a wide range of interesting vocabulary which will be used to create their own descriptive text about a spooky forest. We have been lucky to start swimming lessons. All the children have thoroughly enjoyed their time and have already shown vast improvements in confidence and ability. We have had an exciting start to PE this year. They have been modernising a traditional Welsh dance (Jac Y Do). Thank you, Miss Fawsitt the children have loved adding their own twists to a traditional dance. Finally, we have been exploring observational drawings in forest school. I have noticed many children have greatly benefited from learning in an outdoor environment. We are looking forward the weeks ahead. Thank you for making my start to the term a wonderful experience. You deserve a lovely weekend for all your hard work. Thank you for being you.
