In Progression Step 2 this term we are focusing on humanities and expressive arts.
As part of our topic we will be writing poetry, creating multimedia presentations, performing dance and designing our coat of arms. There is a great focus on castles and life long, long ago.
As part of our topic we will look at urban landscapes. In numeracy we will be learning about number, measurement, fractions, position and measurement. We will consolidate this through our Big Maths.
Eisteddfod activities such as recitals, handwriting, poetry, art and singing will also be covered this half term. We will also send home an activity linked to the topic and this will be judged for our Eisteddfod.
In PE lessons we will be creating dances including Welsh dance for the Eisteddfod. Later in the term we will be developing our teamwork and ball skills. Our PE day is Tuesday. Please make sure your child is wearing a suitable kit.
We will continue to develop our understanding of our values:
Respect
Aspiration
Teamwork
Equity.

As part of Jigsaw, Cwtch 3 have been designing their own gardens to work towards their Dreams and Goals puzzle piece. They have been working in different teams to design a garden for someone that may face a particular challenge, and thought carefully about what features to include, based on the needs of the person. They then presented their ideas to the rest of the class.
We have been learning about the different parts of a castle, and how they make it defensive.
We really enjoyed designing and creating our own Coat of Arms, ready for our Eisteddfod.
