The focus of this context is the Humanities AoLE from Curriculum for Wales. We will be working specifically on the following Statement of What Matters: 'Enquiry, exploration and investigation inspire curiosity about the world, its past, present and future.'

''We believe that everyone should learn about and be able to critically engage with the history of our country in all its diversity. Our vision is for all of our citizens, including young people, to understand how history, language, diversity and culture have shaped Wales to become the proud and unique nation we are today. We want all our learners to understand the history of Wales including the history of the Welsh language. Moreover, we want all of our learners to feel inspired to use the Cymraeg they have, wherever they are on their Welsh language journey.'' - Curriculum for Wales. 

What will we be covering?

Our context based on The History of the Welsh Language, will focus on the struggle the Welsh Language has had other the years. We will be teaching children about the Welsh Not, the first published Welsh language bible and researching into key historical figures that have been part of a Welsh language journey. 

In Literacy we will be learning about Myths and Legends. Miss Hampson's group will be focusing on the myth 'Yr Ddraig Coch' whilst Miss Ali's class will be looking into Gelert. We are be sharing the stories with each other and creating our own myths. 

We will have a big focus on outdoor learning this term, as we continue to make the best use we can of our new school grounds. A big part of this will involve Maths as we use position, direction, shape and measure to map out our outdoor learning area (this is in addition to our usual Big Maths curriculum).

We plan on ending this context with a celebration on Shwmae Day.
