Year 4/5/6 – Hirfynydd

Class Teacher – Mr Fulford-Astley                                 

Teaching Assistant – Mrs S Isaac

Welcome to the Hirfynydd class page! 

This term, as a school, we will be covering the concept of Belonging and we are studying all about Seven Sisters! Have you ever wondered why all the tourism goes to Swansea or Cardiff? Well it’s because Seven Sisters doesn’t have a website of course… and we are about to change that! 

The children will be exploring all of the areas of learning and completing some super activities that will be incorporated in the first Visit Seven Sisters website, and the best thing is… we’re all already experts on where we live! 

The children will be writing biographies on some of our most famous Seven Sisters villagers, creating maps and exploration ideas for some of our beautiful mountains and even finding out what businesses are operating in the local area, 

Whatever a visitor will need to know about Seven Sisters, our Hirfynydd stars will have the answers! 

Some of our pupils will still continue to access Read Write Inc. with those who have moved on studying the NPT Literacy Scheme of Work studying different writing genres. All pupils will be accessing Whiterose Maths and TT Rockstars to develop their Mathematical knowledge. 

Our learners will also build their independence through the completion of Blaendulais Blasts. These will be tasks covering all areas of learning, that children will undertake choosing their own level of challenge and helping to promote independence and personal progression. 

Please see our homework planner below for Autumn Term 1. 

Of course, there’s going to be a little bit of fun involved along the way too!
