Autumn Term 2023

Our value this term is 'thankfulness'.

PSALM 118:24 (ESV)

This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

                                                             

 

Our Creative Habit of Mind this half term is 'Persistence'.

 

 Our context is "Diversity".

Autumn Term

Our context for learning this term is called 'Around the World'.  This term we will also be carrying out a creative schools project to celebrate our upcoming move to the new school site.
We will be exploring:
  • Our traditions in Wales, the UK and the wider world
  • Links with Wales and around the world
  • A sense of cynefin
  • Celebrating an ethnically diverse Wales
