Welcome back!

Welcome back to school to our new class and a special big welcome to all the Reception children who have made a great addition to Area 3.
                       Our theme this term is 'Colour' and we will be looking at the stories of 'The Rainbow Fish' and 'Mrs. Rainbow'. This fortnight we are collecting red items for Mrs. Rainbow's Cottage- our new roleplay area for Area 3.
                       We will also be having a fruit shop in our class to help,us learn more about money.
 P.E. day is on a Monday so could all children bring the required kit fully labelled on a Monday morning. Could the children all bring in a pair of wellies also as we will be doing lot of forest schools activities this term.
Feel free to pop in to ask how your child is settling at any time!
Thankyou              Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Williams

Summer Term

A big thankyou to those of you who have already donated costumes/books to use this term for our theme
' All things bright and beautiful.' The children are enjoying the theme and have already been up to the willow garden on several ' bughunts'.They have also been closely monitoring our class planters and we have planted carrots and potatoes- so could wellies still be brought in while the weather is still unpredicatable please.
                     The class have also been enjoying the tennis with Miss Bridie Lynch and we had a lovely first visit to Llantrisant Tennis Club. Next week we hope to have strawberries and drinks - Wimbledon style after our session.
                Other exciting news - last week we were lucky enough to have a special visitor - a six week old bijon frisse puppy, courtesy of Anisha and her Dad. Anisha allowed the class to suggest names for her puppy and finally settled on Rose!
Thankyou
Mrs. Brown and Miss Brush

Easter Fayre

Hello to all and hope you all enjoy the long weekend this weekend . It was lovely to catch up with those of you who came to Parents Evening this week.

Just a reminder to say it is the Easter Fayre this Wednesday ( 30th March) The day will be a non uniform day and the forfeit for no uniform will be to bring in a small Mother's Day gift also if possible.
Thankyou and here are some photos of our trip to Llantrisant Church for the mock Christening.

Class 9 were all very sad to see student teacher Miss Helen Harvey leave.They all wished her a very fond farewell and hope she'll come back to visit soon.

We had a very successful visit to Llantrisant Church and the mock christening was enjoyed by all who attended.
The children had lots of fun picking the name for the baby and 'Ava Ruby' was finally decided upon as the baby's name.
We were also lucky enough to attend the Indian dancing session in the hall and everyone took part with lots of enthusiasm.
For the rest of the term, we will be continuing to look at the weather aswell as our mini topic - India.
If possible, could the children bring in any toys they have which are featured in our story - Arthur and the Meanies.The Indian animals featured in the story are - elephants,cheetahs,tigers,monkeys,frogs,ducks and peacocks.

A reminder also to all that P.E. is still on Thursday and children will be taking part in Tennis sessions with Miss Bridie Lynch for the rest of the term.
Thankyou

Indian Restaurant

Hello everyone. This week we will be changing our role play area into an Indian Restaurant and we would love the children to help choose a name for the restaurant. They will bring a slip home so they can think of suggestions to be pulled out of a hat.

Also, lots more activities planned around the weather for this week, so I would be grateful if wellies could be brought in to stay if possible.
Thankyou

Sut Mae Tywdd

Hi everyone,

This term our topic is all about the weather- 'Sut Mae Tywydd'.  We have been out and about recording the weather and making wind chimes.  We have a lovely display describing what you need to wear in different weathers.  We have also been in touch with Derek Brockway and are hoping to role play doing the weather forecast just like him!

We are beginning to set up an Indian restuarant in our class.  You need to think of a name for it!  If you have any Indian items such as clothes, artefacts, books that we could borrow that would be great!  We will be testing lots of Indian food in the next couple of weeks too!

We are really lucky to have Miss Harvey helping us this term and the children have been doing lots of interesting things with her.  The children have been learning about polar bears and the Artic.  We had our very own igloo in class!

Thanks for all your support,

Regards

Mrs Brown
