The teachers in this year group are Mrs James, Mrs Evans and Miss Key.
The Autumn Term is a very exciting time for your child starting a new class, with new teachers and with regards to some children the first time attending compulsory education for a whole day.
In Y Garth class we will be using our blog, scoop and Twitter school accounts to update you regularly so please check the blog, clicking on Y Garth page, on a weekly basis. Enroll in our schoop service to receive instant up to date class and school notifications, information and links about how to do this are on the schools main blog page.
The children will also be encouraged to frequently use 'the hwb' which is our school and class virtual learning platform- more information and guidance on this will follow.
What can you expect for the first half term in Y Garth?
Our Topic/Theme this term is Yr Enfys (the Rainbow).
All skills and subjects will be taught/delivered under the umbrella of this theme. We will be learning lots about colour and day and night.
In Reception we learn through play which includes enhanced provision- learning to play and learn independently whilst completing a differentiated task.
Focused provision- small differentiated group work with the support and guidance of a Teacher, whole and half class based learning, outdoor based learning, one to one support and specific intervention groups.
Everything will be very hands on and child centred.
During this term every child will be assessed using 'The Foundation Phase Compact Profile.' This provides us with a baseline assessment for their Primary Education. You have nothing to worry about or anything to do to prepare for this. It's observational and task led and the teacher (I) will compete all the assessments.
During our Parents evening in October I will discuss the assessment profile and your child's outcomes with you.
Every week I will provide a general overview of the learning and examples of activities that will take place. Home learning tasks, reading and maths consolidation will also be posted.
Next weeks tasks will include...
