Welcome to Dosbarth Afon!
Dosbarth Afon is home to Year 3, 4 and 5 pupils. The class teacher is Mrs Lewis and the HLTA is Mrs Tucker.
Hi Afon!
I'm really missing you all! I hope you are all keeping safe and well and being good for your grown ups!
Please find this week's Learning Pack below.
In the pack, you will find a range of activities to help you with your reading, writing and oracy skills as well as lots of fun maths activities. There is a topic focus about 'family' as you are probably spending lots of time together! The pack is designed so that you complete: a Maths activity; carry out some reading; practise your spellings and do some writing and/or topic work daily. At the end of the pack are some additional website with activities you may like to look at if you need something to do!
You can access your Abacus Maths account by googling Abacus Active Learn and logging in using your username (first four letters of your first name and the first four letters of your surname - my username would be saralewi), the password is river and the school code is 7g9l (l for lemon). If you are having any difficulties, you can contact me on Dojo.
Please send me any photos of activities you complete on Dojo. There is also a shared diary you can read and add to on Google for Education on Hwb.
Above all, please use this time to relax and have some fun with your family - have a movie night, bake a cake, camp out in the garden and remember to clap for our key workers on Thursdays at 8pm. Be good for your grown ups and help out around the house as much as you can! Remember to say your prayers and to stay safe.
Missing you all very much!
Mrs Lewis

Hi there Afon!
Well, we finally made it! It has been lovely to see so many of you in school over the last couple of weeks - you've all grown so much!
I'd like to thank you and your grown-ups for all the hard work you have been doing with your home learning during Lockdown. It has been fantastic seeing your work, photographs and reading your emails and messages.
On the link above, you will find our final Learning Pack before we break up for the Summer. The focus is transition as we prepare to move on into the next year group/class. The pack is a bit different this time and I hope you enjoy the activities.
Take care my sweethearts and have a well deserved break. My Dojo account will remain open 24/7 over the summer holidays in case you need to contact me.
See you all in September!

Hi there Afon!
I hope you are all keeping well. I'm really looking forward to seeing some of you over the next few weeks!
The next Learning Pack is all about music. There are lots of fun activities linked to music that I'm sure you'll enjoy. There are also lots of chilli challenges for you to do related to your age/confidence level. Check out the different challenges before deciding which heat to choose.
I've also included some E-Safety links for you to explore with your grownups. These will remind you of how to stay safe on and offline.
Don't forget to take photographs of your work and Dojo them to me by Thursday so I can include them in our Friday collage.
At the bottom of the Learning Pack there's a bank of great links to resources that you might enjoy too.
Take care everyone!
See you soon,
Mrs Lewis

The Environment

Hi there everyone!
I hope you are all keeping well. Thank you so much for all the amazing work you've been sending to me! It's been great getting feedback from you too. Let me know if there's something that you've particularly enjoyed or that helps you with your learning or if there's something that you are finding too tricky. Also, if there's a topic or activity you'd like us to include in our home learning, just let me know and I'll do my best to include it.
This learning pack focuses on the environment; an issue that I know is close to your hearts. The main focus is energy but if you wanted to change that to plastic pollution or recycling, you can. There are lots of interesting tasks that you can choose from all of which are designed to have a positive impact by putting our learning into action.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
Take care and be good for your grown-ups,
Missing you ...

All Creatures GREAT and Small

Hi there Afon!
I hope you've had a lovely half term break. I'm sure you've made the most of the beautiful weather. Remember to SLIP, SLAP and SLOP - slip on a t-shirt, slap on a hat and slop on the sun cream. I've really enjoyed looking at your nature photographs so keep an eye out for them on Twitter and Dojo this week. Take a few minutes to look at some of the fantastic pictures I've received of your home learning here on our page.
Our new mini topic for the next two weeks is - All Creatures Great and Small - I hope you enjoy it. Remember to log in to Abacus for your Maths and Bug Club reading. I've allocated lots of new and exciting books for you to read in the Bug Club button in Abacus. Also, you can add to our Google For Education shared diary to let everyone know what you've been doing over half term. There will be a new P4C online discussion starting on Monday linked to our mini topic. It would be great if you added your first thoughts and agreed/disagreed with other people's thoughts on their slides by adding a text box to comment - remember to add your name so we know who has said what and who to thank.
Take care my sweethearts,
Missing you so much,

Fruit
In order to continue to work towards being a healthy school, pupils are only able to have fresh fruit during the morning break. This comes from Welsh Governments ‘Appetite for Life’ guidance. Pupils can bring in their own fresh fruit if they would like to or they can purchase fruit in school. Pupils can bring this in on a half-termly basis. |

I will send home learning logs on Fridays in book bags and the completed work will be expected in on the date set on the homework slip. Homework will vary week to week. It may link to our literacy or numeracy work or perhaps our topic. (See Learning Logs for more information) |
