Croeso i Ddosbarth 5/6W

Class 5/6W  Autumn Term 2024

World Exploring.jpg

Adventure,
Discover,
Explore!

Our theme this term is ‘Adventure, Discover, Explore!’ We will consider how explorers of the past have identified countries around the world. Alongside reading our class text ‘The Explorer’ by Katherine Rundell, we will study the Amazon Rainforest and consider the impact of deforestation on the area. We will compare the country of Brazil with Wales, by looking at language, sport, art, music, dance, festivals and the wider culture.

We will write an adventure story, design and bring to life an imagined island and create a website, including recording an audio book version. We will explore the region of Patagonia (South America) and how Welsh settlers there become associated with the region. We will discuss our own ‘cynefin’ and what it means to be Welsh. In Science, we will study the history and importance of space travel and exploration.

During the topic, we will visit a forest in Bridgend for a session delivered by Bushcraft Wales, during which we will take part in a wide variety of outdoor activities.

In line with the new 'Curriculum for Wales', ‘pupil voice’ is stronger than ever. The children have generated lots of fun and exciting ideas they would like to explore through all 6 of the Areas of Learning Experience.

​

Our Cwrt Rawlin Curriculum is developing with the children at its heart. It is based on the 4 purposes and interweaves all 6 areas of Learning and Experiences into purposeful learning opportunities. Our learning pedagogy is based upon the 12 Pedagogical Principles, which forms the platform from which we are then able to apply a wide range of ways to develop skills within authentic learning opportunities. We aim to encompass a wide range of opportunities to develop the cross curricular skills of Literacy, Numeracy and Digital Competence.

Immersion days at the start of the term are followed by celebration days at the end of term, to showcase the learning that has taken place.
