Dosbarth Willow- Miss Hughes

Useful Info:

P.E. - Thursday.

Please bring or wear appropriate sports kit to school on a Thursday (black/navy joggers/leggings/shorts and a white T shirt).  Our lessons will be outside when the weather permits, so please ensure your child is wearing trainers. 

Home Reading

Pupils are encouraged to take reading books home daily to read to a parent or guardian. Regular reading improves vocabulary and language skills, helps to improve concentration and also teaches children about the world around them. Please take 5 mins to listen to your child read whenever you can. It really will make a difference

Queries or Concerns

Please contact me on my email address misshughes@llwyncrwn.co.uk should you have any queries or concerns you need to discuss.

Thank you.

Summer Term 2024

Our topics for this term are Darwin’s Delights and Iechyd Da.

 Ship ahoy! We’re off on an exciting journey with Charles Darwin and his crew on the HMS Beagle.
During this term, we’re going to investigate a range of animal specimens, describing the characteristics of the creatures, and labelling their body parts. We’ll use a range of non-fiction books and websites to investigate adaptation, natural selection, variation and inheritance. We will also investigate letters and journal entries written by Darwin, and retrace his steps around the world on his HMS Beagle voyage. 
Why were his discoveries on the Galapagos Islands so important and what impact did they have on his theory of evolution? 
 

We enjoyed our first football training session with coach Dan from CCFC Foundation. Diolch yn Fawr! 

Diolch yn fawr Rafe and Matthew, two ex pupils from Bryncelynnog who came to teach us about the importance of keeping fit and eating a healthy diet.

We used Word Cloud to generate images to fill with Welsh words associated with Cymru. 

Pupils from Dosbarth Cherry, Willow and Beech spent an enjoyable morning exploring “Music Of The Miners” and learning how the Welsh traditions of brass bands and male voice choirs have their roots embedded in the coal mines of our local Welsh valleys.
