  3. Settling into school • We hope that your child has already settled into the new routines, and they are happy with the day to day organisation. • The children are now becoming aware of the increasing expectations. • We aim to support and nurture them in developing their own individual skills and talents.

  4. Autumn Term • This term the focus of study will be the Gods and Gladiators. • The children will become, “ Historical detectives,” to try to find out as much as possible about this period in history. • Visit to Caerleon – November

  5. Spring Term • This term, the children will study a unit of work called, “ Blood, Bones and Gory Bits,” a look at the body and how it works. • They will investigate healthy living and develop their practical scientific skills. • We are always keen to have anyone who has expertise in the medical field to come in and speak with the children.

  6. Summer Term • Geography based topic called TravelAgents. • Children will develop their mapping skills and will research a country and make a formal presentation to the class. • We will visit the Urdd Centre at Llangrannog (dates to be announced) where your children will be able to try lots of different adventurous activities and practise their Welsh speaking.
