Shwmae a croeso i Ddosbarth Celyn, Derbyn a Blwyddyn 1 - Hello and welcome to Hollies class, Reception and Year 1. ​

 

Croeso i Dosbarth Celyn!

A very warm welcome to our Reception / Year 1 class. I’m Mrs Hughes, your child’s teacher, and I’m lucky to be supported by our wonderful Learning Support Officer; Mrs Dixon. Together, we are here to help your child feel safe, happy and excited to learn.

​

We have lots of lovely experiences planned for the year ahead. Our aim is to spark curiosity, build confidence and encourage independence in every child. Through our classroom activities and topics, your child will develop a wide range of important skills — from creativity and problem solving to communication, literacy, numeracy and Welsh. Most importantly, we want every child to feel valued, capable and proud of themselves.

​

We enjoy learning outdoors and like to get outside whenever we can, so please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather each day — sunshine, showers or puddles, we’ll be making the most of it!

​

As part of the Healthy Schools initiative, we encourage good habits early on. Please send your child with a labelled water bottle and one piece of fruit for morning playtime. Milk will be provided at the end of the day — usually enjoyed with a cosy story.

​

Your child will be given reading books to take home. Bringing books to school every day means we can listen to them throughout the week. Just five minutes of reading at home makes a huge difference — little and often really is the key to progress.

​

We’ll be using Class Dojo to share messages, photos and special moments from our day. If you’re not already connected, please ask for your code — we’d love you to be part of our online classroom too.

​

PE will take place every Wednesday. Children should come dressed ready in their kit — a t-shirt, jumper, leggings or joggers, socks, trainers and their water bottle.

If you ever need anything, have a question or just want to check in, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via Dojo or arrange a time to chat.

​

We can’t wait to make wonderful memories together in Dosbarth Celyn — here’s to a fantastic year ahead!
