Croeso! Welcome! What is Siarter Iaith?
Croeso/Welcome!
What is the Siarter Iaith/Language Charter?
The simple objective of the Siarter Iaith is to provide a clear framework, which can be used to promote and increase the use of Welsh by children. In a nutshell, the Charter’s main aim is to promote a strong Welsh ethos in schools and to provide a range of enriching activities that propel the children to enjoy learning Welsh.
In order move forward with the Siarter Iaith we need participation from every member of the school community, and members of the school workforce and council, the pupils and their parents, school governors and the wider community are all encouraged to take full ownership of it.
The Criw Cymraeg are instrumental in leading and driving the Language Charter forward.
Homework 9th November 2017 2
It’s that time of year where the Christmas plays are upon us and we are so excited to be doing Peter Pan. Mrs Jones has shared all the parts now with the characters. Can these be practised at home please? These are on J2launch in shared files. Mrs Jones has also given out the information for costumes should you wish to supply them.
Pupils also need to learn the song words. These are also in their shared files in a folder called Peter Pan.
Below I have attached a file showing our spelling pattern that we covered this week. Pupils also have new times tables targets for ongoing practise along with high frequency words (HFW) which have been stuck in the back of their homework books. Please let me (Mrs Poiner) know if you feel your child knows the High Frequency words on their list as I have the next ones ready. I will be testing them in school as well to monitor this.

Maths Homework Y3 – Doubling 12 October 17
This week we have been learning how to double numbers.
If we double 6, we can add 6+6 or multiply it by 2 (6 x 2).
It can be a little trickier with 2 digit numbers so we split the number up.
Example
43 37
40 3 30 7
80 6 60 14 (60 + 10 + 4)
86 74
For homework, they have been given a game to play. They chose which level they wanted – green (easiest), yellow and red (hardest). I have sent out 2 games each page so that they can play it once timing how fast it took and then play again trying to beat the time.
I have also put the games here on the blog so that they can more times to beat their times or try the harder or easier versions if they wish.
Enjoy!
