Shwmai Dosbarth Deri!

I am Miss Evans, the class teacher in Dosbarth Deri. I have worked in the school for almost 19 years and alongside being the year 6 class teacher, I am part of the Senior Leadership Team within the school and I am also the school Additional Learning Needs Coordinator (ALNCo). I strive to ensure that pupils feel happy, safe and nurtured within our classroom; allow an environment where pupils feel comfortable to be themselves, practise tolerance and acceptance and develop the social skills to become healthy and confident individuals. For some of the pupils in Dosbarth Deri, this will be their last step in primary school before moving on to their next stepping stones in comprehensive school and so we aim to have lots of fun and offer exciting experiences, whilst also working in collaboration with Cynffig Comprehensive for transition sessions.

​

We continue to deepen our knowledge and experience within the Curriculum for Wales and are working within progression step teams throughout the school. We endeavour to provide pupils with a curriculum that is inspiring, creative and engaging for all, meeting the individualised needs and skills of pupils to achieve at their own level and pace; whilst ensuring progression and enjoyment in their learning.

​

We will be learning within topics areas that encompass the 6 areas of learning in the Curriculum for Wales (Expressive Arts, Health and Well-being, Humanities, Languages, Literacy and Communication, Mathematics and Numeracy and Science and Technology).

Through the topics of study this year and daily classroom life, we aim for pupils to become increasingly independent, confident learners who are imaginative, ambitious and capable. Pupils in Dosbarth Deri will engage fully in their learning as they experience a variety of learning opportunities to develop skills that they will be able to use across the whole curriculum. These include: creative, problem solving, communication, literacy, numeracy, ICT, Welsh, health and well-being and social and personal skills. Pupils in Dosbarth Deri also have opportunities to represent the school in leadership teams like the Criw Llyw (School Council), sports including rugby and netball and wider community events and visits.

Class Information

All pupils are encouraged to bring a water bottle into class, which they can access throughout the day when needed.

Our P.E sessions this year will fall on a Thursday and Friday.

We are striving to become more confident in our mathematical knowledge and skills, so it would be greatly beneficial for pupils to keep practicing their multiplication tables at home alongside school. There are many great websites with engaging games that your children can use online to support these skills!

Our main source of school information is via class dojo, so please ensure you are signed up and receive notifications for information relating to the whole school as well as our individual class.

If you have any other questions, queries or would like to discuss anything further, please do not hesitate to contact me via the office by phone, email or Dojo, or come to speak to me at the end of the school day.
