Reading

Please ensure your child has their reading book every. We aim to listen to the children as often as possible but have no designated days.

The children do take part in other reading activities as part of the Read, Write, Inc. scheme, which is delivered 3 days a week.

Reading is very important can I thereford ask you to listen to your child read for at least 10 minutes per day.  It isn’t much but it will benefit your child immensely.

Homework

Spelling will be sent home on Thursday and brought back to school the following Monday. The test results will be given to you on the following week’s spelling sheet. Please could you make every effort to help your child learn these for their test.

Forest School

We provide the children with waterproofs but would appreciate it if the children could bring in their own wellingtons and a spare pair of socks, trousers and t-shirt.  During the winter months, please give your child a hat, scarf and a pair of gloves to keep them warm.

Snacks – Please can pupils bring in a snack for break time. As part of the children’s well-being we promote healthy eating at Ysgol Golwg y Cwm and therefore, we would appreciate your support to ensure that your child has a healthy snack in school everyday. – Fruit, Cheese or Yoghurt.
