We are busy bumble bees in Class 9!

Hi all!

First of all I would like to say well done to everyone who wore a colour t-shirt to make the Uganda flag. We raised lots of money and thank you for your kind donations. Jayden thanks for bringing in your cuddly toy, I'm sure a child in Uganda would love it! You are very kind! We had a fun day and are very proud of Mrs Decaro and Mrs Dobbins going to Uganda in half term to meet our friends in Uganda and take them our treats we have collected.

Ella Sheilds is Star of the week this week. Ella is now really confident with her reading and I am very impressed with her progress, it is well deserved this week. Da iawn Ella! We have many excellent readers in Class 9 mind you!

We have been busy with our writing this week reception have been learning lots of 'e' words, whilst year 1 have been writing about our story 'Lotties Letter'. We have been using our number line to count on and backwards from a given number and year 1 are confidently completing sums to 20- adding and subtracting. Well done!

We have our new listening centre in the library and Mrs Burton-Little and I have worked hard to develop the library to make it a cosy environment for the children to go. Lets hope you enjoy using this next week.

Mr Roberts has kindly ordered our wet weather suits for us to be prepared to go out in all weathers and be protected. He was kind enough to order large ones for the teachers too! Let's hope we haven't jinx it and brought on the rain now in the next few weeks!

The children are loving junk modelling and are coming up with some lovely creations. Ethan made a penguin, Poppy D made a shaker, Ben made a mobile- so keep your recycleable materials coming! We still need more bottle tops before we can start our mosaic so keep collecting!

I'm on a course Monday and Tuesday so can parents please bring children's reading books in on Wednesday rather than send them on Monday/Tuesady this week (coch and melyn groups)

Kind Regards,

Miss Jervis
p.s don't forget PE days changed to Tuesdays now!

Seren Y Wythnos!

Adderchog Farah!
Well done Farah for being this weeks star of the week. Farah is always kind and helpful to all her friends and all the teachers in Area 3.

Hopefully, you all had a chance to read the topic web and letters that have been sent out and are now familiar with what we are covering this term. It's great to be back to normality. The children told me lots of fun snow stories though!

We have made a good start to our new displays and the children had great fun making our own 'Lottie's Letter' with Mrs Channon. We will hopefully have some bottle tops in this week to start our mosaic which will be fun. The travel agents is up and running well and the children are really enjoying that. we have just ordered a new listening centre for in the library from the money we have saved up from busy bees- we do spend the money we have left over wisely! It all benefits the children! Mr Roberts has kindly ordered us wet weather suits for us to go outside investigating in all weathers so look out for some photos of the children in those in coming weeks!

Thanks to the children who brought in pictures from the snow- we have made a lovely snowy display!

Don't forget PE is on Tuesdays now and i will let you know when show and tell will be starting back up.

Thanks for your support,

Kind Regards,

Miss Jervis and Mrs Channon

Frosty the Snowman...

Hi everyone!

Hope you have had a fun snowy day and enjoyed been out on your sleighs and building snow men. I hope you are all wrapped up warm though and being sensible for your mums and dads. The snow in my home town (Blackwood) is really deep I went for a walk earlier and the snow went right to the top of my wellies! I took a photo, I will try and post it for you to all see! It was so funny!

We are off school again tomorrow, so remember to keep reading your books and the key words, also you can complete your home work and bring it to school to show me when we return! We also started our snowy display on Tuesday so some of your snow pics would look fab on the wall! Mrs Channon and I are both going to build a snow man tomorrow for the display! The carrot nose is ready and waiting! The challenge is on for the best snow man!

Also children, you can tell your families about the new topic for the term 'Our precious world' and talk about the lovely book we read in class, "Lottie's Letter". I will put more information about what we are covering in the term in the next couple of days.

This term our PE day has changed to a Tuesday because a lady is coming to teach PE with me, which will be fun. We are also setting up a new role play "Maesybryn Travel Agents" so if you have any brochures you could bring to school that would be great! Its like being on a skiing holiday already at the moment!

have a good day tomorrow and stay safe!

Take care, hwyl fawr!

Miss Jervis :)

What an adventure!

Happy New Year everyone! It was lovely to see you all back in school today. I arrived kitted out in my wellies ready to escort children up the road to school. I'm glad Santa bought me some new ones for Christmas! All the children were really sensible today, which shows what wonderful children we have at Maesybryn Primary! Well done everyone!

I'm really excited about our blog and will update this regularly with what we have been up to in Class 9. In foundation phase we do lots of practical activities and take lots of photos- I will hopefully be able to put these on our blog too!

See you all tomorrow hopefully!
Keep an eye on this site for regular updates if the snow returns!
Kind regards,
Miss Jervis

p.s diolch for all my lovely Christmas presents.
