Croeso i Dosbarth Gwennol
Welcome back to a new school year! I hope you have all had a wonderful summer break and are feeling refreshed and ready for the exciting year ahead.
I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all the children and families of Dosbarth Gwennol. I am delighted to be teaching Years 4 and 5 this year and am really looking forward to working with the children as they learn, grow and achieve together.
PE day will on Wednesday afternoons and the children will be taught by Miss Scandariato each Wednesday afternoon. Forest school will be later in the year, and we are still finalising some exciting school trips for later in the year too.
We have a fantastic year planned, with our learning centred around the Global Goals of Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, Decent Work and Economic Growth, and Life Below Water. These topics will provide many opportunities for the children to develop their knowledge, skills and understanding through engaging and meaningful experiences.
Alongside our curriculum topics, we will also be working on our No Outsiders project, which promotes inclusion, respect and understanding, and our Trevor Basin Canal project, where the children will have the opportunity to explore and learn about an important part of our local heritage.
Later in the year, we will be very excited to celebrate a significant milestone in the school’s history as Ysgol Acrefair marks its 150th anniversary. This will be a wonderful opportunity for the children to learn about the school’s past and take part in some special celebrations.
I am looking forward to getting to know all the children and supporting them throughout the year. I have no doubt that it will be a year filled with learning, creativity, achievement and memorable experiences. We will be working very closely with our fellow Year 4 and 5 class – Dosbarth Robin Goch.
Please remember to, if you are eligible to do so, apply for Free School Meals funding and to connect to the class via seesaw. I will post updates on seesaw weekly and will try to respond to messages between 3.30-5pm after school. If you need to contact me during teaching hours, please ring the office.
Thank you for your continued support. I look forward to working in partnership with you to make this a successful and enjoyable year for every child in Dosbarth Gwennol.
Many thanks,
Mr Allman
