Penberth

Welcome to Penberth.
 
We are a mixed Reception and Year 1 class.
We are taught by Mrs Cross on Mondays and Tuesdays and Mrs Kwiatkowska on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. We are also very lucky to have Mrs Tesdale working in our class.
 
 
Autumn Term 2024/5 Cycle B
 
               All About Ourselves                           

In our new topic 'All About Ourselves', we get to discover what makes each of us special! WE are all unique with different likes, talents and stories to share. We will learn why we need to look after our body and what we can do to keep it healthy. We will discover how our senses help us to explore the world around us. We will look at our families, our homes and our pets. Let's celebrate everything that makes us who we are. 

 

Spring Term 
During this term we will be exploring, ‘What makes Buryan
brilliant?’ We will use Google Maps to explore our amazing village
and surrounding area. We will be looking at the local environment
and focus on where is the school on my street? Where is the
village in the country? Where is my country in the world?
We will explore how tin mining was important in the past.
We will continue to develop communication and language skills
through the sharing of stories, poems, songs and rhymes
 
Welcome To Our School
 
 
We are looking forward to getting to know your Reception children and helping them settle into full-time education. We deliver a curriculum that is immersed in play-based pedagogy with lots of hands-on activities. 
Our class starts school at 8.45- please drop your child off by the side gate where a member of staff will greet them. We realise that it might be hard for our youngest children to leave you so will do our best to assist in an appropriate manner to make this transition as easy as we can. 
End of the day collection is at the same side gate and we ask that you arrive promptly at 3.15.
 
Please remember to use
Teach Your Monster to Read games
to reinforce learning of phonics.
 
 
 Alongside our topic we will be learning new sounds most days, each child will have their own wallet of sound cards.  Please make sure these are brought into school each day in the children's book bags.
Reading books will be changed on Mondays for the week. Please could you sign and comment whenever you listen to you child read at home. Thank you
