Our department has three classes and is led by Mrs Bithell. Miss Holmes and Mr Roberts also teach in the department. We have one TA Erdogan who supports the children.
Our day begins with Guided Reading which involves the teacher reading with a group of children and discussing the text. Various literacy based activities continue through the week. Literacy, History, Geography, Science, Music, Art and ICT are all taught through various topics. So far this academic year we have completed three topics: Your Country Needs You (World War 2) Climb Every Mountain and Ready Steady Recycle. Our next topic will be the Swinging 60’s.
In our department we teach Maths in sets we would appreciate the children learning their times tables daily and we would appreciate your help in ensuring that your child completes the weekly Maths homework task that is given out every Thursday or Friday each week.
Welsh is taught daily through Helpwr Heddiw sessions as well as separate Welsh lessons. R.E and P.S.H.E are taught in the department by Mrs MCcarron and Mrs Young.
P.E is taught by the class teacher and covers all aspects of the National Curriculum. Each class has two 6 weeks blocks of Swimming lessons each year. We have numerous sports and educational clubs for Year 5 and 6 children for more information on these please visit our clubs page using the navigation bar above.
We try to encourage our children to read for pleasure and stock up regularly on up to date fiction and none fiction material via books fairs and school funds. We have an upper junior reading area where children can pick from latest books and chill out on the couches.
