Wythnos 1 - First week of the summer term!

Beth Sy’n Digwydd Yr Wythnos Hon?

Wythnos 1 – Summer term!

I hope that you have all had a restful Easter break and you've not eaten too many chocolate eggs from the Easter bunny! I look forward to welcoming you all back on Tuesday blwydden pedwar. This term is a long and very busy one therefore I expect 100% effort and commitment to learning from everyone as of Tuesday. I was very impressed with the way that you worked for me last term Caerau, let's keep it up and ensure that we can be the best that we can be during your last term in year 4.

Monday

This will be the last of the high frequency words, normal spell checks whereby I put the spellings on the blog linked to the previous spelling unit completed in class will be back ready for Monday the 18th. I will put these on Tuesday after children have completed the spell check on high frequency words.

Welsh Assembly Tests

Parents as you may know this term is the Welsh Assembly test term. It is the week commencing the 3rd of May. I spoke with most of you about this at parents evening and the link for the practice papers as promised will be up very soon. Leading up to the tests, I will be completing maths questions with the children every morning when they come into class. Therefore this means that punctuality in the mornings is essential this term, could we please ensure that children are on the yard by 8.55am.

Swimming

As you may be aware we will no longer be swimming on a Wednesday which means that we will have 2 PE lessons one week and 1 lesson the week after. I will put this on the blog with the spelling post tomorrow- I just need to double check our hall slots.

Parents, please remember any queries or concerns that you may have no matter how big or small, my door is always open.
Year 4, I have bought new daily certificate prizes, I wonder who can be the first person to win one! I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday J
Thank you for reading this long post and for your continued cooperation.

Miss Morgans :D
