Dear Parents and Guardians
We have put a pack together of activities to support your child in case of a school closure to ensure we are all as prepared as we possibly can be during this time. This is also to be used for self-isolators.
Please find enclosed:
· Hwb, Mathletics and Reading Buddies login cards which give you access to a variety of resources online.
· A list of iPad apps which we use in class to enhance learning
· Welsh reading QR Codes which you can scan and read online on a device at home
· ‘Topmarks’ is a great website with lots of online games to support numeracy and literacy across the curriculum
· Class Dojo passwords and logins for those who are still not connected
· ‘Twinkl’ is a wonderful website which you can also access for learning resources and ideas. Use the code ‘UKTWINKLHELPS’ to access their full range.
Our topic after Easter is based on a series of books by a welsh author called Max Low. A lot of these books are about food and have lots of numeracy links. If you could research healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle in preparation for this topic that would be great.
Should we undergo a school closure, we will inform you of the platforms for daily wok updates. Please speak to a member of staff or use Class Dojo if you need any extra information, advice or support.
Thank you
Mr Fisher

Croeso. Welcome to Year 6 . We aim to make learning fun, challenging and supportive for all learners.
As part of this year’s International Dylan Thomas Day, which is celebrated on 14 May each year, DylanED is inviting 8-11 year olds across Wales to take part in a very special competition.
The competition, which is entitled ‘My Favourite Dream’ is based around Dylan Thomas’ story A Visit to Grandpa’s.
Following in the footsteps of Swansea’s foremost writer and storyteller, the competition will look for children aged 8-11 to submit a short story (100 words), poem or picture of their own favourite dream.
Competition winners will receive a number of goodies including a trophy, framed copy of their work and goody bag. Selected entries will also feature in an online exhibition.
Entries should be submitted electronically by Friday 1st May to cultural-institute@swansea.ac.uk with the title ‘DylanED – my favourite dream.’
*Please note – due to current circumstances we are only able to accept entries electronically.
