Autumn Term
Our Concepts
Belonging Identity Friendship
Things for you to know about the Year 3 and Class 9, this term:
English focus: We will be focusing on the Roald Dahl book 'Matilda.' Some of the work that the children will be producing over the Autumn term is character and setting descriptions and a newspaper report.
Math focus: This term we will focus on number. We will look at reading and writing numbers, partitioning, odd and even numbers and addition and subtraction. Please ensure that children are learning their times tables at home.
Topic: Our topic this term is 'Community' . We are sure that the pupils will love discovering the history of our local area. It's a topic that encompasses a wide range of AOLEs such as Expressive Arts, Humanities, Mathematics, Language, Health and Well-being and STEM and will awaken curiosity though lots of time spent investigating our community past and present. We will be focusing on Schools in the community as we are going to be a part of the Welsh Heritage Award celebrating the bicentennial of Cyfarthfa Castle. In particular we will be looking at when the Castle used to be a High School.
Welsh: Alongside daily Helper Heddiw questions/phrases and Criw Cymraeg sessions, this term we will look at the weather and hobbies.
Some phrases we will be using is:
Mae hi'n...
Roedd hi'n...
Dw i'n hoffi..
Dw I ddim yn hoffi...
Dw i'n gallu...
Dw i ddim yn gallu...
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, on Tuesday, we are focusing on footwork for this term, in particular balancing and different footwork patterns. During our wellbeing sessions we will be looking at 'Being me in my world' It is based around setting ourselves goals and celebrating difference.

Hi all, my name is Mr Pinch and I am the class teacher within Dosbarth 9, and I'm luckily working with the amazing pupils in
Year 3 every day.
I massively enjoy teaching, always have, for me it really is my dream job.
When not teaching I spend time with my family or helping out within my local rugby club and golf club.
If I get a little free time I love cycling, running, mountain walking or taking breaks in my caravan, away chasing the sun!
