Class Information

Welcome to our class page. The teacher in Dosbarth Celyn is Mr Perry and the class is supported by Mrs Morgan and Miss Braisdell. Miss Braisdell also teachers the class on a Wednesday.

What I need to bring to school? 

On Thursday we have PE, children can come to school in their PE kit (white t-shirt, white or black shorts, white socks and trainers, hoodies), in the colder months children can wear jogging bottoms/ tracksuit bottoms. 

Reading Folders will be sent out on a Thursday and can be brought back to school between Monday and Wednesday the following week. 

Spring Term 2024

Our class topic is called 'Explorers'. We are going to be researching some famous explorers from the past. 

Please do contact us at any time on Seesaw should it be necessary. 

Many thanks,

How do you teach reading in school?

Children are firstly taught initial phonic sounds followed by letter blends (for example, sh, oo and ee). They are taught the skill of sounding out to help with their reading and spelling. Children are also taught to recognise high frequency words quickly. Please see the links below for more information about Read Write Inc, which is the phonics scheme we follow in school.

How to say the sounds

How can I help my child with their reading?

Children really benefit from regular reading, reading little and often can really help foster a love of reading. Also, modelling a positive attitude to reading and show children you are a reader yourself can have a huge impact. Reading also doesn't have to be with a book, there are many other activities that can help develop reading skills - for example, following a recipe or following a set of instructions.

What are the arrangements for snack and drinks?

Children in Dosbarth Celyn are given fruit at break time, snack money can be paid via parentpay. Children can bring in a drinks bottle and are allowed water or cordial, but no fizzy drinks or energy drinks. 

How can I find out what my child is doing in school?

We will often send pictures and work over to you on seesaw and will also upload some pictures to our school twitter account (@ysgoldeiniol).
