Eisteddfod!
After half term we will be holding a school Eisteddfod to celebrate Saint David's Day.
Below you can find the poems that your child will be learning. Please support your child through half term by helping them memorise the poems. I've made a video for each poem to help with any pronunciation and the words are below the video.
Half term homework!
As part of their Eisteddfod craft Dosbarth Poppy are to create Welsh Love spoons which will be judged and a winner will win a prize!
Below are some examples of love spoons to give you some inspiration!
We can't wait to see what you come up with and ask the children how they created their masterpieces!
Welsh Lovespoons were given as love tokens many years ago in Wales. A young man would carve a spoon and give it to the girl he loved. If she accepted then it was a sign that she loved him too!
Each Lovespoon has symbols that mean something…
Dear Children, Parents and Caregivers,
A very happy new year to you all, let’s hope 2022 is a year of happiness, health and lacking in Zoom calls!
It’s lovely to see you all after a well deserved Christmas break! Hopefully you were able to enjoy with friends and family.
Here is some information for the new term, please read as some information may be new and your support is needed to help us all stay happy, healthy and in school!
As explained in previous newsletters, COVID 19 safety rules are still very much in place in school.
Safety Rules to Remember:
• Stay clean. Ensure to wash your hands regularly and use hand sanitisers provided.
• Be hygienic: put tissues in the bin, keep hands off each other; your face and other people’s belongings, cough into sleeve or tissue and wash your hands afterwards.
• Keep a safe distance.
Adults will still observe the 2-metre distance rule and will wear facemasks around the school building.
Start/finish times:
Our classroom doors will open at 8.40 AM to allow a staggered entry into school and avoid family bubbles mixing and waiting in the yard.
A donation of £10 from all pupils is greatly appreciated to go towards snack and milk for the Autumn Term.
In the Classroom
As stated last term:
An egg has arrived in Dosbarth Poppy and the school CCTV has caught a dragon flying around our school grounds! So exciting! We can’t wait to learn about Dragons, history and geography of Wales and Saint David.
Kind regards,
Miss Mac – Class Teacher (mcmanusl10@hwbcymru.net)

Polite Notice:
Dear Parents and caregivers,
Can you please bring in Book bags on a Monday regardless of whether your child has read, please comment on how your child is reading in their Reading Record so we have a good idea of how your child is coping with the books at home. Also, it is really important that Tricky Words and Sound Recognition is worked on at home in order to support your child’s learning in school.
Thank you for your support, should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch,
Regards,
Miss Mac
