Welcome to RP's class page.

Hello RP, my name is Miss Minkowski, and I am excited to be your teacher this year. Ms Mahmoud, Mrs Shahid & Miss Gallivan will also support you in class.

Please remember to to pack a piece of fruit or vegetable in your child’s lunchbox every day to eat at snack times, along with a bottle of water. 

Please remember to bring a change of clothes in your child’s bag if needed and to put your child's name on all items of clothing. Our PE day is Monday. Children can wear joggers and trainers to school on a Monday. Diolch/ Thank you. 

Our topic this half term is 'No planet B!'

We are learning how to look after our environment and how we can make it look better.

We are also learning to write fact files and retell stories. 

We have been learning

This week, we have been learning to count in 2's and 10's. We have enjoyed singing along to the videos below.

We are also learning our phase 3 phonics, which we are using to develop our reading and writing skills. See below for the sounds we are learning and the sentences that we reading in class.

19/4/23- Parent and child after school PE event

On Wednesday 19th April we will be holding an after school ball skills PE session for both your child and a parent. You will have received a letter about the event. The event will help share ideas and ways of supporting your child with developing ball skills.

I hope you can all make it. The last event was a huge success.

Diolch,

Miss Minkowski

Our new topic is: Winter Festivals and Celebrations

We have just finished the topic: Story listener, teller, maker.

We have been learning about Little Red Riding Hood, The Gingerbread Man

and we read the stories: The Ugly Duckling and The Enormous Turnip.

We focused on retelling the story by doing lots of role play and oracy work. 

We also made props to help us retell the stories. This included weaving a basket for Little Red Riding hood, making flowers and treats for Grandma, as well as making The Gingerbread man and puppets.

You can help at home by asking your child to retell the stories that we are focusing on. 

Please scroll down our class page, to find new songs we have been learning in Maths/ Welsh and phonics. Diolch/ thank you.
