Croeso i Blwyddyn 5

At Ysgol Bryn Gwalia the four purposes of the new curriculum for Wales are the driving force of our teaching and learning.  Through a broad and balanced curriculum, we enable all pupils to be:

* Ambitious, capable learners ready to learn throughout their lives

* Enterprising, creative contributors ready to play a full part in life and work

* Ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world

* Healthy, confident individuals ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society

This year the class teacher is Mrs Garland

This term our topic is Age of Princes.  This has been an extremely enjoyable topic where we have utilised our digital skills to create castles in Minecraft.  We have also been writing a myth in English; focusing on vocabulary and sentence structure.

In Maths we have looked at Place value and measurement, this has been interesting and all children have learned vital skills to support their learning.  We have also been looking at calculations using the 4 operations to embed learning and develop richer fluency.

Water bottles and PE kits need to be in school daily.  We have also been trying out various sports to give us a taste of different activities.

Forest School is every other Thursday afternoon.
