Cynefin |

| Any further details about this term’s topics: |
This term, our topic is ‘Cynefin’, where we think about where we belong, focussing on Wales and Europe. We have carried out our EPIC session and the children would like to find out about:-
In addition to this:- In Expressive Arts, we will be working towards our Young Voices concert in January, as well as putting on a Christmas concert and celebrating Harvest in church. In Health and Wellbeing, we will have weekly PE sessions and there are always several tournaments which Year 5 and 6 can take part in. We are very aware of the costs of trips, especially this academic year with Young Voices in January and a residential in the summer (more news coming soon) but if the opportunity arises for an educational visit, e.g. to a local farm, we will aim to make it as affordable as possible |

| Days which PE kit will be needed | For P.E. lessons children will need to wear a white polo shirt, sweatshirt/hoodie, black shorts or black jogging bottoms and black trainers. Year 6 P.E. lessons will take place on a Tuesday morning and Year 5 P.E. lessons on a Friday morning. | ||||||||||||||||
| Any other ways parents can help (e.g. help needed with readers, items that can be sent in related to the topic) |
Reading, spelling and times table facts are vital skills. We would like parents to read regularly with their children. Children are encouraged to take their reading book home every day and return it the following day. Spelling tests will soon start on Thursdays and parents will be advised by Schoop of the words to be learnt. They can also be posted on Google Classroom for the children to access at home. Times table facts really speed up a lot of Maths calculations and embed an understanding of the relationship between different numbers. Maths homework may be sent home when needed to consolidate a particular skill. If you have any information or knowledge about Europe, Wales or any of the above topics and you are happy to share this with the children, then please get in touch. |

| Any other general reminders (not specific to your class) that you think should be included on the information sheet. |
Your child will need a healthy snack at break time and may bring a water bottle to school. Please ensure all clothing and water bottles are labelled with your child’s name. If you have any questions or wish to contact the Year 5 and 6 class teachers, our email addresses are as follows: DaviesH775@hwbcymru.net OramS8@hwbcymru.net Many thanks, Mr Oram and Ms Davies-Lynott. |
