Key Information about our class
P.E. Days - Monday and Wednesday- Please can the children wear their PE kit to school for these days.
Reading, spelling and times tables - We encourage the children to dedicate a little bit of time each night to these activities as they are the foundation of the literacy and numeracy learning that takes place in the classroom. The children need to only spend about 10-15 minutes a night on each of these activities.
Homework Diaries - When you listen to your child read, please sign the 'Tonight I Must' box to show this. Please can diaries have a parental signature every Friday.
Learning Logs - Homework in Dosbarth Mynydd is set using a learning log. Children are to complete a literacy/numeracy task, as well as chose an activity from the topic grid. . Pupils are encouraged to research in detail and present their learning in a variety of ways. They are expected to complete approximately two pages in their book. We encourage the children to do a little on this project every night and to fit their homework in around their clubs and after school activities.
Class Dojo points –The children get to collect class dojo points through the week for hard work or great behaviour. This year we have also discussed having a class reward for the class total of Dojo points. These rewards will include extra free time or a longer break. The dojo is a great way of keeping in touch if you have any questions you would like to ask me. You are also able to see how well you child is working in the class by checking the points they get each week.
