Croeso i Dosbarth Llwynog!
Welcome to Dosbarth Llwynog!
Dear Parents and Carers,
A very warm welcome to Dosbarth Llwynog! We hope your child has enjoyed their return to school and
is beginning to settle into the new school year. It was an absolute pleasure to welcome everyone back.
We are looking forward to a happy, exciting and fun-filled year of learning together.
We know that the start of a new school year can bring lots of questions, so we have put together some
useful information and answers to some of the questions we are commonly asked. We hope you find this
helpful!
Who are the adults in our class?
Our Dosbarth Llwynog team is:
• Mrs Jackson – Class Teacher
• Miss Owen – Teaching Assistant
What do we need to remember each week?
Monday
Please return your child’s reading book to school.
Thursday
It’s PE day! Children should come to school wearing their PE kit.
Friday
Keep an eye out for reading books coming home for some cosy reading time!
What do we need to wear for PE?
On Thursdays, please wear:
• White T-shirt
• Black shorts or leggings
• Trainers
• School jumper
Please make sure that all items of clothing are clearly labelled with your child’s name.
What do we wear for Forest School?
We won’t be starting Forest School just yet, but we will let you know when we will begin our 4 week
block.
Children should come to school wearing clothes that you are happy for them to get dirty! There will be
plenty of opportunities to explore, investigate and get stuck into the great outdoors.
We recommend:
• Warm layers
• Waterproof clothing
• Wellies kept in school (with your child’s name inside!)
• If your child doesn’t have wellies, outdoor trainers that are suitable for getting muddy
We continue to enjoy Forest School even when the weather is cold and wet, so waterproofs and layers
are always a good idea!
How can we help our children keep learning at home?
Each week we will send home:
Reading books
Spellings and phonics
A little bit of regular practice at home can make a big difference, and we really appreciate your support.
How can I see what my child has been learning about in school?
Every pupil has a Seesaw account, where you can see messages about our class and examples of your
child’s learning in school.
Please make sure that you connect to your child’s Seesaw journal as soon as possible so that you
don’t miss out on all the exciting things happening in Dosbarth Llwynog!
You can message us on Seesaw but this will not be seen during the school day. We will try to respond
between 3:30pm and 5pm
How do I contact the school?
Our school telephone number is:
01978 820 616
Please contact the school on this number if:
• Your child is going to be absent from school.
• There are any changes to who will be collecting your child.
You can also email the school regarding pupil absence at:
mailbox@acrefair-pri.wrexham.sch.uk
If your child is absent from school for any reason, please contact the school before 8:50am.
How do I order a school dinner?
School dinners should be ordered using ParentPay by 8:00am on each morning that your child requires
a school dinner.
What time does school start and finish?
Just a little reminder:
School starts at 8:50am
School finishes at 3:15pm
How is great work and behaviour celebrated?
Every Friday, we hold a special celebration assembly, where we recognise children who have gone
above and beyond in their learning and behaviour.
We also love celebrating children’s achievements from outside of school!
If your child has done something extra special, please encourage them to tell their class teacher so that
we can celebrate it together in class. This could be anything they are proud of, such as:
Swimming certificates
Sporting achievements
Creative accomplishments
Musical achievements
Or anything else that deserves a little celebration!
What will we be learning about?
This year, Dosbarth Llwynog and Dosbarth Gwdihw are looking forward to exploring some exciting
inquiries based around the themes:
No Outsiders
Celebrating what makes each of us unique, learning about friendship, acceptance and belonging, and
understanding why everyone matters.
Fantasy Worlds
We will let our imaginations run wild as we explore magical and fantastical worlds, developing our
creativity, storytelling and curiosity along the way.
Looking After Our World
We will think about our wonderful world and explore how we can all play our part in caring for our
environment and making a positive difference.
We are excited about all the adventures, discoveries and learning opportunities that lie ahead!
We are so pleased to have your children as part of Dosbarth Llwynog and are looking forward to a
fantastic year together. We hope it will be a year filled with laughter, friendship, curiosity, confidence
and lots of wonderful learning!
Thank you, as always, for your continued support. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get
in touch.
Here’s to a brilliant year in Dosbarth Llwynog!
Best wishes,
Mrs Jackson
Dosbarth Llwyno
