Ty Gwyn Special School

"Learning To Achieve"

Lleaud

We are a class consisting of 8 pupils, 7 boys and 1 girl. We love learning how to grow as individuals, making new friends and building positive relationships!

We had lots of fun learning about dinosaurs, what they were and when they lived. We enjoyed making shape dinosaurs and even made our very own cave paintings as we returned to school in 2022!

Happy New year! We hope you are all safe and we look forward to seeing everyone back in class very soon! Our topic this half term is "In the beginning".

 

Our weekly topics this half term are :

 

WK 1 Dinosaurs – New Year

WK 2 Royal Family and Castles

WK 3 Ancient Rome

WK 4 Ancient Egypt

WK 5 Historical Heroes

WK 6 Space and Human Evolution 

WK 7  Wars

 

We have had a lovely last 2 weeks in school! We had our school dinner, Christmas party and even had a visit from Father Christmas who delivered the presents from our wish lists we made! Merry Christmas everyone!

This week we have been learning all about trees and not just the Christmas variety! We looked at tree life cycles, labelled them and even managed to fit in some Christmas baking and craft!

This week we have been looking at Winter and climate change, we have made our own snowmen in art and maths using 2d shapes! We have also been sorting clothes according to the season or climate and we have looked at lots of different aspects of climate change and how we can help.

This week we have been filming our Christmas concert (you'll have to wait to see!) we also celebrated Remembrance day by making poppy art!

We learned all about generosity this week! We made Rainbow fish collages, sequenced the story and much more. We looked at The Kindness quilt and made our own kindness patches and sorted kind and unkind actions. It was also Bonfire night on Friday so we made firework paintings!

Week 1 - Kindness

A big welcome back to all our pupils after our half term break! We enjoyed our Halloween party on the last week so much! We did lots of sensory play carving pumpkins and feeling wriggly worm spaghetti, olive eyeballs and much more.

 

This half term our topic is "The reason for the season", and the first week back we will be looking at Kindness.  We look forward to learning about the science of kindness, random acts of kindness, kindness quilting and more!

We learned all about the hairdressers this week and how we are all different but have the same values when it comes to the most important things! We had a go at giving each other makeovers using photos of each other, playdough and lacing activities. We all had a go visiting the hairdressers for a sensory drama session, looked at some treatments they offer and learned all about personal hygiene and how to keep ourselves feeling clean and fresh!

We learned all about the emergency service and what incredible things they do to help people in need! We had a go at putting out our very own fires, designing our own uniforms and we even made a class fire engine!

We learned all about our teeth and the best way to keep them clean, we sorted foods that are good or bad for our teeth and made our own model teeth! We brushed the bacteria off of our models, cards and even our own teeth! We also learned all about glasses, optical illusions and opticians. We tried glasses on virtually, in real life and even designed our own!

We looked at beaches and mountains of our beautiful country Wales! We made our own mountains using flour and water, made sensory under water bags, designed our own sandcastles and much more! You can learn what we did by checking some of the resources below!

We visited our local park! There is so much to see, we played i-spy and did scavenger hunts. We designed our own parks, learned about what animals live in the park and much more! You can try with the resources below!

A massive welcome to Dosbarth Lleuad! We are happy to see all our friends from last year and some new ones too, this year we have a new teacher Mr Al-Azzawi! If you would like to get in touch with any of us please write in the home books.

What a lovely start to see so many happy faces back in Dosbarth Lleuad smiley

As your child is attending school on a part time basis, we will be sending and updating home folders weekly which will be full of activities for your child to complete at home. Please can you ensure that the folder is sent back into school with your child, including finished activities so we are able to see your child's progress, this will also give them the opportunity to finish off any other activities unfinished.  

 

Activity sheets will not be uploaded onto the website as we will send these home with your child, however, our fun resources and videos will still be accessible on our class page and 'Blended Learning' ! smiley

 

Stay Safe and we will see you soon! heart 

First week back and we're learning about All things Welsh! We've had many activities through stories, drama and art :)
