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. The Reception class will be joining us every Thursday and Friday afternoon. Miss Einir Jones will be teaching the class on a Thursday afternoon. P.E. lessons will be on a Wednesday 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.
