Autumn Term

Our Concepts

Identity , Belonging, Friendship

Things for you to know about the Year 3 this term:

English focus: We will be focusing on the book 'Matilda' for this term. From this book, we will be completing character and setting descriptions and in Autumn 2, the children will produce a persuasive letter.

Math focus: This term we will focusing on place value, sequencing, odd and even numbers and division and multiplication through grouping. Every Maths session will begin with a warm up of basic maths skills such as addition, subtraction, sequencing etc... Every Thursday, the children will focus on their reasoning skills and develop these and every Friday they will have a winder Math session. The wider Math focus for Autumn 1 is data handling and Autumn 2 will be area and perimeter.

Topic: Our topic this term is 'Our community ' . We are sure that the pupils will love learning about the history of their local area. We are going to be focusing on sports in our community. The children will look at key sports in history of Merthyr and the success that some sports have had in our local area. They will then compare with sports that are offered today and look at skills needed, healthy body and minds and healthy eating. The children will cover a range of AOLE's from humanities, expressive arts, LLC and STEM.

Welsh: Alongside daily Helper Heddiw questions/phrases and Criw Cymraeg sessions, this term we will looking at the weather and houses.

Some phrases we will be using is:

Dw i'n hoffi...

Dw i ddim yn hoffi...

Mae ___ tost da fi...

achos...

Dw i'n dwylu ar...

Mae hi'n...

Dyd hi ddim yn..

Dw i'n byw yn...

For 20 minutes everyday, the children will be taking part in Welsh games focusing on a phrase a fortnight.

Health and Well-being: This is at the heart of our work. It is key to ensure all children are happy and safe coming to school and are happy while they are with us. For our weekly PE sessions we are focusing on football and balance. During our wellbeing sessions we will be looking at 'celebrating me' It is based on everyone being unique and celebrating their differences.

Shwmae! I am Mrs James and I am the Class Teacher.

I have been working at Cyfarthfa Park Primary for 11 years and feel incredibly lucky to be a part of such an amazing team of staff, parents and pupils.

I am married with two beautiful daughters Ella Rose and Lottie Grace and my favourite thing to do is spend time with my family. Whether that be day trips out, weekends away or just cwtching up with a film and food. My hobbies include dancing, cooking and baking.

I absolutely LOVE my job and feel blessed to be a part of a child's learning journey.

Miss Clatworthy (Miss B) ydw i. I am the teaching assistant in Class 10 and will be assisting Mrs James with the children's learning journey.

I have 4 beautiful children who have all been a part of or still a part of Cyfarthfa Park Primary. I am looking forward to the year ahead working in class 10.
