The Daily Mile

Last year we signed up to take part in the ‘Daily Mile’ and Sports Council continue to support and promote daily running this year!

It is really important for us to exercise as much as possible to keep our bodies and minds healthy!  Children can run, walk, skip or even hop their way around the playground each day to complete the ‘Daily Mile’ challenge!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Literacy Enrichment morning in KS2!

Homework

In Aderyn Du and Barcud Coch spelling activity homework will be given out on a TUESDAY, to be returned the following TUESDAY.  Minute Maths homework will be given out on a THURSDAY, to be returned the following THURSDAY.  In additon to these weekly homework activities we may, on occasions, ask children to complete some problem solving activities or reading comprehension work in order to consoildate learning that has taken place in class.

READING- We require the children to read 4 times a week at home and that an adult signs their reading record each time that they have read.  Although many of the children read fluently by the time that they reach Year 5 and Year 6 it is still very important that they read as often as possible, and vary the type of material that they are reading.  Reading to an adult at this age is also encouraged in order that unfamiliar vocabulary is highlighted, or the content of a book or article discussed.

Literacy Enrichment Day!

As part of our Literacy Enrichment Day on Wednesday, we looked at the story Handa’s Surprise.

We enjoyed a range of activities including data handling on HWB, drama and role play and creative art.  Each of the activities had a oracy theme.

Literacy Enrichment Day

We have had lots of fun ‘role playing’ and retelling the story of Handa’s Surprise.  We all acted as different characters from the story and got into ‘role’ with confidence.
