Attendance

Well done to Class 5 for

the best attendance this

fortnight.

Well done to Casey for

achieving 100% in April

and winning an LC2 Family

Waterpark Pass.

Dear Parent/carer,

Thank you for your support with the National Tests last week and

ensuring that pupils were in school on time to sit the tests. Every effort

was made to make the pupils confident to sit the tests. The papers have

been marked in school and the results will be sent off to the National

Assembly. The standardised scores will then be sent back to school and

included in the end of year reports. Despite what the test results tell us,

we are very proud of all of our pupils at Creunant with their unique

personalities. We know that every day they put smiles on our faces as

they develop far more important qualities than the tests will ever show.

Nursery – Mrs Dawn Jones

Last week we started practicing for our Sports Day

event, as usual all children will take part in many

different sporting activities and we will continue to

use our gym sessions on Thursdays to practice. Can

all nursery children wear trainers to school every

Thursday please.

Our sounds during the last 2 weeks have been –j

and v, the children are enjoying our Read, Write Inc.

sessions and are recalling previous sounds very well.

Our number last week was number 4.

We have set up a fishing pond in our water area; the

children are enjoying using fishing rods to catch the

magnetic fish.

Class 1 – Mrs. Catherine Thomas

Over the last couple of weeks we have been focusing on

subtraction. We have been using the Numicon placing the smaller

Numicon on top of the larger Numicon. We have also been using a

number line to count back.

We have been finding out about instruments that are used in the

samba band and have created our own sequences of sounds using

instruments in school.

The Year 1's have been writing their own algorithms to create a

crazy character and to create their own samba dance routine.

In Welsh we have been learning the names for the different

rooms in a house.

We have begun to practise for Sports Day - the egg and spoon

race, the sack race and balancing bean bags.

Class 2 – Mrs Donna Davies

I hope you all enjoyed your sunny weekend! Well

deserved, after all our tests. The children have made me

very proud; after all they are only young.

We have started our new topic ‘Wriggle and Crawl’,

enjoying the outdoors. We have set up a little garden in

our classroom, so that we can look at mini-beasts under

microscopes and magnifying glasses.

They have enjoyed drawing and labelling their mini-

beasts, writing and sharing facts, using paint to create

mini-beasts on HWB and the IPad, as well as numbering

body parts.

This is going to be an exciting ‘outdoors’ topic, so please

make sure your child wears suitable outdoors footwear

daily. Thank you for your continued support!

Class 4 – Mr. Darren Richards

Well the tests are finally over and the children

worked really hard so a big well done Class 4. After

a few weeks of practising, it’s time to get back to

normality. The children will be finishing off their

fantasy stories before we go on to our new genre. In

maths we are going to continue looking at shape

and measures, by looking at symmetry, angles,

measuring volume just to name a few. We have

started our new topic which is playlist and the

children are all super excited about starting a music

themed topic. Well done to the children for their

constant hard work and let’s keep this going!

Class 3 – Mrs. Abigail Williams

Well done to everyone in class 3 for trying

really hard in the tests last week! We can

forget about them and go back to our fun

topic ‘scrummdiddlyumptious’! We can’t

wait to do all the fun practical activities

Mrs Williams has planned for us. Please

can you remember to bring your reading

book to school every day and your

trainers so we can practice for sports’ day

whenever the weather is nice again.

Class 5 – Mrs. Gaynor Johnson

I hope you have all had a lovely May Day and are not too

sunburnt! The children have worked hard with their

numeracy and literacy tests last week and I am proud of

their dedication, perseverance and determination to do

their best. We have started our topic, 'Hola Mexico!' and

have been investigating how to play the Mayan Football

game by writing out a set of instructions. Next, we hope to

make up our own football game and write a set of own

rules and instructions. We have been looking at symmetry

in Maths and have investigating numbers of lines of

symmetry in 2D shapes and lines of symmetry to create

Sugar Skulls for the Mexican festival, 'The Day of the Dead!'

The children are looking forward to Tregoyd this weekend. I

hope the weather is kind! Have a good week! :)
