Croeso i Dosbarth Swansea Jack
Our Class voted on the name of Swansea Jack as we learnt that he was a local hero! We went of a trip at the beginning of the year to find out more about the area of Swansea that he lived in and about how he helped the people at the time he was alive.

Year 3 and 4
PE days are Friday
– please wear your kit, including trainers, for the whole day
In July we will have an Enterprise project – look out for news of our products!
Reminder – children can buy their own snack from the trolley at playtime so they can bring in 20p every day or £1 for the week. If you prefer they can bring their own healthy snack from home.
Homework is set half termly with a choice of activities that can be completed anytime in the 6 – 8 week period. Spelling will come home on Friday and tests will happen usually on Fridays. Reading books should be practiced as much as possible.
Homework will include Read Write Inc spellings and Maths. Sometimes Maths will be a paper task sent home and sometimes it will be activities set on Mathletics. With the Maths sheets there will be 2 levels – one side easier, one harder – do the easier one to begin and if that’s okay, try the more difficult side (it’s okay not to do both).
