Croeso cynnes nôl i wefan Dosbarth Ceiriog!
I’m Mr. Wyeth, the Year 2 and 3 class teacher, and I’m looking forward to an exciting year of learning ahead.

Our class ethos is built on the Sant Dunawd Learning Super Powers – helping our learners to collaborate, reflect, persevere, stay curious and show resilience.

The children’s learning and wellbeing are supported brilliantly by Mrs. Davies and Miss Parr. Every Tuesday, the class takes part in Forest School, led by Mrs. Johnson, where they explore and build their connection with the natural world.

Our INSPIRE Inquiries

This term, Dosbarth Ceiriog will explore our inquiry New Starts, Brave Choices. We will think about how change can create new possibilities, how it can affect our feelings and choices, and how we can help ourselves and others to feel that they belong.

Our learning will be led by Health and Well-being, with strong links to literacy, humanities, Welsh and expressive arts. Through stories, discussion, practical tasks and collaborative challenges, children will develop emotional vocabulary, empathy, decision-making skills and confidence in explaining their thinking.

Learning will also continue through our provision areas, where children can revisit and apply skills independently. Areas such as the Ceiriog Check-In, Help Desk and Ceiriog Council will give pupils purposeful opportunities to solve problems, support others, make fair choices, communicate their ideas and reflect on how their actions affect the wider class community.

Homework

At Ysgol Sant Dunawd, we believe in a little and often and that practice makes progress! The children have weekly spellings to practise on Spelling Shed (to complete at least 5 games) and weekly times tables practice on Times Tables Rock Stars (at least 10 minutes). We also encourage the children to read a few pages of their reading book each night, aloud to an adult (they can also read on Oxford Owl). Please click on ‘Useful Links’ for all links to the websites mentioned above.
