Home Learning Week Beginning February 1st Chwefror 1
Good morning everyone, hope you are all ok. There is a lovely selection of learning activities below to keep your school work on track. Take some time to look through them and plan your week of home learning. There is a science investigation which requires a bit of construction. I would suggest gathering your resources together and having a science day - I think you will enjoy it!
From this point onwards, I would like you to upload your home learning to J2E. To help you do this I have made a few tutorial videos which I have posted above. If you have any problems please email me and I will do my best to help. Uploading your work to J2E will keep it all in one central place and Mrs Lecrass and I will both be able to comment on it.
The focus for maths this week is measuring mass. To start this topic, I would suggest getting out the kitchen scales and practise estimating and measuring a range of objects around the home. Now that you have mastered the 7 times tables, it's time to start the 8 times tables. Remember this includes division too!

Amser Cymraeg - Welsh Old New Year Traditions - Yr Hen Galan
|
Blwyddyn Newydd Dda! This week we are learning about some old Welsh traditions. In some parts of Wales they celebrate New Year on January 13th Yr Hen Galan. Children would knock on the door of their friends and family and sing a song. ( we definitely can't do this at the moment!). They would then be given some money as a present! Children would also carry a decorated apple called a 'perllan'. |

Can you draw and label your perllan using Welsh. We have written lots of instructions in Welsh using bossy commands. Can you have a go at writing some instructions using the pictures below to help you?

Welcome back! Croeso nôl! It’s been wonderful to see the children all back at school, full of enthusiasm and thrilled to be back with their friends.
Our topic for the term is ‘Are we all equal?’ This will provide the children with opportunities to discuss and research a range of events from the past as well as learning about the current events taking place in our world. There will be lots of learning taking place outside and supporting the children during these unsettled times will be our number one priority.
