Welcome to Dosbarth Oren!

Welcome to our class page!  Here you will find information about our class and all the fun things we do in Year 1.

Snack Time /Amser Snac

We have snack time every morning.  Children are invited to bring one healthy snack to eat at snack time (e.g. a piece of fruit or sticks of vegetables).  For safety reasons, if children bring grapes for snack, these must be cut in half.  Please send your child's snack in a sealed pot or food bag clearly labelled with their name to avoid confusion.  Children are also encouraged to bring a bottle of water to keep in class to drink throughout the day.

PE

Dosbarth Oren have PE lessons every Wednesday.  Children can wear PE kit to school (black/navy joggers or leggings, white t-shirt and school jumper or cardigan).  For safety reasons, please remove all jewellery before coming to school on PE days.  

Homework

 Year 1 children are provided with sound boards to practise their phonic skills at home and, when they are ready, will also bring home a reading book.  Please try to practise these for a few minutes a day.  They will also be given a reading record book, please use this to write down how your child is getting on with their sounds / reading at home.   

Our curriculum theme for this half term is...

'All About Me - My Senses' 

Please follow @CYGprimary on X to stay up to date with all our fun learning experiences.

Class Dojo

This year, Year 1 has begun using Class Dojo to keep families up to date with what is going on in school and to motivate children to perform to the best of their ability.  We share photos and videos of class activities and invite parents/carers to celebrate our successes with us.  Children have loved designing their own monsters and earning dojo points for positive behaviours.  They collect points to meet individual and class targets and win prizes as rewards for their efforts.

Learning can be Messy!

Please be aware that our little learners will get messy in school.  We do ensure children wear aprons but when you're little and exploring, mess can get everywhere!  We ask that you do not put your best clothes or coats on for school just in case! Take a look below to see what the mess on our clothes shows.
