Cardiff Bay Assembly in pictures..

A fantastic assembly today from Dosbarth Cangarw all about their visit to Cardiff Bay. They taught the audience about the history of the bay, it's development in recent years and some of the exciting activities the bay has to offer today. This managed to incorporate a welsh role play and song, a dance and a reinterpretation of a Stereophonics classic! Da iawn Dosbarth Cangarw...

Talk Homework

Monday 18th March

This week we will be reading the story Super Dad by Shoo Rayner.

Dad is very busy and doesn't have time to play with his son. Then one day a Super Hero comes to visit and they have the best day ever doing lots of fun things. But Super Hero looks familiar. Perhaps dad knows who he is - after all he is Super Dad!

If you have access to the internet you can watch and listen to Shoo Rayner read the story.

Please talk about the events in the story and the use of time words to start sentences e.g. One day… When… Then…

Then consider, if a Super Hero came to play at your house what fun things would you do? Which order would you do them in?

Now imagine that the Super Hero has been, tell an adult all about your day. Think carefully about the words you choose to start your sentences to help order events e.g. Afterwards… Soon… Later that afternoon… After a while… Before long… At last… Eventually…

Talk Homework

Monday 4th March

 

Last week we read the story of Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes to help us learn about 3D shapes. The children enjoyed the story so much that we will be using this for our writing over the next couple of weeks.

 

You can listen to this story via this link:

Please talk about:

• the main events in the story
• the type of book i.e. comic
• the use of speech bubbles
• Captain Invincible's catch phrase

In the story the cuboid is referred to as a rectangular prism, I have explained this to the children. In class we use the word cuboid.

 

If you wish to make notes, please use your treasury.

Thank you.
