Teaching and learning in our school changes each year according to the needs of the children in our classes however we would still like to give you an insight into what a year in Dosbarth Gwennol looks like!
To help us to do this, we would like to share some of the adventures we plan to go on this year….
The upcoming academic year promises to be a rich and exciting journey of learning, discovery, and community engagement. With a wide range of topics designed to inspire curiosity and deepen understanding, our pupils will explore the world around them—and their place within it.
In the autumn term, we will begin with our No Outsiders topic, celebrating each other’s differences and fostering a culture of inclusion and respect. This will lead into our first major inquiry: “What kind of world do we want to live in?” Pupils will explore how our country is led, the rights they hold as children, and imagine what their ideal world might look like. In the second half of the term, we will introduce the topic of climate change, focusing on current environmental threats and encouraging pupils to think critically about the kind of future they want to help shape.
After Christmas, the spring and summer terms will bring new opportunities for exploration. Pupils will investigate how we can protect our oceans, learning about marine ecosystems and the importance of conservation. We will also turn our attention to influential local figures, including Mary Jones and Henry Tudor, enriching our understanding of heritage within Snowdonia. A highlight of this exploration will be our trip to Glan Llyn, where pupils will experience hands-on learning and build lasting memories.
We will conclude the year with a focus on health and wellbeing, learning how to stay fit and healthy in both body and mind. Our final topic will celebrate the expressive arts, drawing inspiration from our capital city, Caerdydd, and encouraging pupils to express themselves through music, drama, and visual arts.
We look forward to a year filled with meaningful learning, memorable experiences, and continued growth for every pupil.
