Years 1 and 2
A very warm welcome to the Year 1 and 2 class, to the children
and the parents.
The class teacher is Miss Hughes and Miss Elen Jones is the
classroom assistant.
P.E. lessons will be on a Thursday afternoon. The children will
need appropriate clothes and they can keep their P.E. kit at
school. The P.E. kit will be sent home at the end of the half term
so that you have an opportunity to wash the kit. Then, the kit
needs to be returned to school at the start of the next halt term.
Please could your child also have a pair of wellingtons at school-
we will keep the wellingtons at school.
Reading books will be changed on a Friday and the children will
need to bring their reading bags to school every day. It’s very
important that you read with your child every day. You are
welcome to read extra books from the library or books that you
have at home with your child. It’s very important that you read
with your child every day and we appreciate your comments in
the ‘reading record’. Please feel free to record any ‘extra books’
in the reading record.
Our theme is ‘ FOOD’ and the work will be partly based on the
book ‘Supertaten Llysiau Llawen,’ by Sue Hendra and adapted to
Welsh by Elin Meek. We will follow some of the children’s ideas
and you are welcome to discuss the theme at home with your
child and offer ideas.
