2021-2022
Welcome! Croeso!
This is the Year 1 webpage.
What an exciting topic we have for you this term. This project will teach us about our own school and locality, both today and in the past. We will compare schooling in the Victorian era to our experiences today. I wonder how different it was! Hopefully we can visit Abergwili Museum to experience school life in the Victorian era.
We are going to learn how to write a diary and we will write a diary from a Victorian child’s perspective. For St. David’s Day, we will be retelling the Legend of Merlin. Do you know this story? We can recount our trip to Carmarthen, where we will find Merlin’s Stone too.
In Welsh we will be learning words for food (bwyd). I am excited to see you role play in ‘Cafi Tedi Twt’, where you will have to use your numeracy skills when handling money. We will also be learning through the story ‘Tedi Twt yn yr ysgol’.
We will be learning about healthy eating and good hygiene. Get ready to use your skills of slicing and chopping when making cawl for St. David’s Day. We will also have lots of fun learning Dawnsio Gwerin, traditional welsh folk dancing.
As always, EPIC planning will take place where you will have your say in your learning.
