Talk Homework

As part of our RE and Personal, Social and Well being development we will be talking about family and friends the pupils regard as special and why.
In class the pupils will create a compliment blossom tree where they write about why they consider a particular friend to be special to them.

I would like the children to discuss with you first, a particular family member who is special to them and give reasons why. They then may wish to talk about their closest friend in class and again consider why they are special to them.

Encourage your child to think carefully about the words they use to describe their special family member or friend e.g. thoughtful, brave, caring, loving, trust worthy etc. We call these 'wow words'.

During the week, the children will create their own blossom flower for the tree, where other children in the class can write positive comments about them on the petals.

Summer Term






Our first of two topics for this term is called 'In My Little Garden'
We will be using the outdoors a lot this term so please could you ensure your child has a hat, is wearing sun cream and has a set of wellingtons in school. Details of our topic will be sent home this week.

If you have any expertise in gardening or minibeasts relating to their habitat or life cycles please let us know if you would be able to help in any way.

The Royal Wedding

Over the last week we have been learning about members of the Royal Family and have begun to make a scrap book about the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine. If the children collect any memorabilia over Easter and would like to include it in their scrap book, please could you send it in on the first day back.

Thank you.

End of Spring Term!

I would like to say an enormous thank you to all the children for a wonderful term, it's been such a busy one and I can't believe how much we have done. You've all worked your socks off and should be very proud of yourselves!

Have fun and enjoy your Easter holidays!

 Talk Homework

 This week you will be writing your own Fairy 

 Tale story.

 Your story will be set in the grounds of

 Castell Coch, one of the three main  

 characters will be a dragon. On Monday,

 you will decide upon the two other 

 characters and a magic or precious object to

 include in your story. I will provide you with a

 story frame for your talk homework if

 you wish to make notes for your writing. 

 You will need to talk about what the main

 events / plot will be in your story.

 E.g.

 If your main characters are a Dragon, Princess and a Knight and your precious object is a ring (that the Princess wears), the main events could be that the dragon captures the Princess to steal the ring, the Knight slays the dragon and then rescues the Princess.

 Enjoy creating your imaginative fairy tale, I'm looking forward to hearing all about them!

 Good luck!
