Shwmae Blwyddyn Pedwar, Progression Step 2!

Croeso!

Welcome to our Progression Step 2 - Class Page. The aim of this page is to keep you updated on any important information about our class and to show you some of the wonderful activities we have been completing. 

A few reminders;

- PE is now on a Thursday afternoon, so please come to school dressed ready for PE.

- Please bring fruit to school every day or you can buy it in school – 30p per piece of fruit.

- Please return homework on a Wednesday.

- Please read at home everyday with your child and write a note in their reading record. Reading books need to be brought in every day. 

- Please label all jumpers, coats, hats, etc with your names. This really helps us to keep them safe.

We hope that you are all joined to our Class Dojo page, our twitter page and our school Facebook page as we also post lots of updates, using these platforms too. 

As always any questions, please pop in or send a Dojo message.

Reading books needs to be brought into school every day!!

Please make every effort to read at home with your child. Just a page or two a day will be really beneficial and help your child to develop their reading skills. Reading books can be brought into school daily, and we will try our best to find five minutes for individual readers. Reading books will be changed when we feel your child needs a new book. There may be occasions where reading books will be sent home for more practise, this will be communicated in your child's reading record. 

Home learning books are sent home on Fridays and should be returned to school for marking on the following Wednesday. This is a chance for you to engage in some learning activities at home with your child, and builds on learning that we have been doing in class. 

Our Summer term Topic – ‘Abertawe Adventures !’

In Progression Step 2, we are going to be completing a topic based on the history of our city and what it has to offer.

Our learning will be looking at Swansea- the buildings, the history behind them. We will look at the different attractions that bring people to Swansea- the Liberty Stadium, Copper Jack, the Gower beaches. The children will be doing some art work of the beaches in the Gower. 

We are also looking forward to continuing our PE lessons using our new PE scheme 'real PE', they will be every Thursday afternoon this term .

We will also be having 'Friendship Friday' sessions, where we will learn about working together and the qualities of good friendship.
