Virtual Visits 2021
I would like to begin by welcoming you to Ysgol Clywedog's virtual visits site.
Under normal circumstances, a full programme of induction events and activities would be in place for your son/daughter throughout this year to ensure their smooth transition to Ysgol Clywedog, however we face exceptional times and cannot be sure when we will be able to host year 5 and 6 students on site.
I would like to reassure you that we will be organising a range of virtual transition activities during the year and hopefully some 'real' activities later in the year. These will serve to help your child familiarise themselves with the site, get to know their classmates, and their teachers. They will achieve this through a range of exciting and enjoyable activities that will certainly give them a flying start to their time at Ysgol Clywedog.

In Year 7, to help students develop their mental Maths, we do Numeracy Ninjas every week where the aim is to get higher up the belts each week and improve speed and accuracy.
Frog swap - Try to move the pink frogs to the left and the blue to the right. You can only jump over one frog at a time.
Experiment with different numbers of pink and blue frogs.Can you always swap the frogs over without having to move any frogs backwards?Can you predict how many moves it will take you?Can you swap the frogs over when the number of red and blue frogs is not the same?Can you predict how many moves it will take you?Times Tables Rock Stars, is a great way to improve multiplication skills in a fun and interesting way. You can set up a parent account for your children.
Corbet maths is a site that provides lots of useful revision and practice work for students. The '5 a day' is a quick way to develop numeracy skills. There are also videos and practice questions.

Learning Plans - At Ysgol Clywedog we use medium term learning planning to structure the learning. Each Learning Plan (LP) lasts half a term. At the end of the learning plan the learning from that half-term is assessed. Each LP assessment provides a snapshot of your child's progress over the half-term. Every student has had a formal assessment to assess their learning, and a report sent home reflects this assessment. As a school, we then analyse the assessments and look at how the students can progress further. This then informs the learning plan for the next half term. Below are some examples of current year 7 learning plans (LP1).
