Dosbarth Bryn
Welcome to Class 4!
Croeso i Dosbarth Bryn!
Our current inquiry is:
Valleys to Coast
AOLE Focus: Humanities
Below is our inquiry focus for our learning this half term:
Reading
Reading books need to be brought into school on a Friday so that children can participate in class Book Club. We will continue to use Guided Group Reading sessions in class each week to continue to develop our reading and comprehension skills. Please encourage your child to develop good reading habits by reading regularly at home. Pupils should read a variety of texts including fiction and non-fiction, and joining the local library will offer a wider range of books.
Spelling
We have introduced a new spelling programme called Get Spelling to help pupils develop stronger spelling skills. This structured programme provides targeted practice and strategies to improve accuracy and confidence in spelling. In addition, pupils are engaging with interactive spelling games (see link below) that make learning fun and reinforce their knowledge and understanding of spelling patterns and rules. Together, these approaches aim to build both competence and enjoyment in spelling.
Physical Education (Autumn Term 2026
This terms unit: Movement skills.
Our P.E day is Thursday.
Pupils are to bring in a PE kit that consists of a white t-shirt, black bottoms and trainers. A light jumper and rain coat is also essential as our weather is sometimes unpredictable throughout the day. We may still go outside in light rain.
Earrings - small studs with flat backs will be allowed for PE. We ask you to remove them before school if you do not wish for your child to wear them during PE sessions.
Long hair should be tied back and all hair accessories removed.
We participate in the Daily Mile where we run approximately 1 mile, come rain or shine!
