Welcome to Class 16 - Croeso i dosbarth 16

Miss Williams is the class teacher in Class 16

All the Year 5 and 6 classes work closely together to ensure your child receives the best possible learning experiences. We follow a two year cycle of planning with a wonderful, exciting range of topics and activities. We place a lot of importance on developing children's thinking skills and their ability to improve their own work, whilst giving them the basic skills from which they can begin to fully reach their potential.

Below is a brief outline of the topics we cover in Year 5 and 6. We would love it if you could talk to your child about their topic and find out more about what they've been learning.

Our topic this term is about diversity. We decided to call our topic 'Beautifully different, wonderfully the same'. Alongside other areas of the curriculum, we will be developing our literacy, numeracy and digital skills throughout the topic.

Curriculum for Wales 2022

As we are starting to prepare for the new curriculum in 2022, Pupil Voice is extremely important in Class 16.  Children will be given the opportunity to suggest ways to learn and what they would like to learn throughout the curriculum. This term some lessons will be taught for longer periods of time, not just for an hour a week.
