Croeso i Ddosbarth Llwyfen - Welcome to Elm Class
Welcome to Dosbarth Elm (Y4 & 5)!
We’re excited to begin a new term full of learning and discovery. This term, our topic is "The Romans in South Wales", where we’ll explore how Roman life and history shaped the area around us—including right here in Peterston Super Ely!
In Maths, we’ll be diving into Number and Place Value, and building our skills in the Four Operations—addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Throughout the term, we’ll be covering the Areas of Learning and Experience (AOLE) through a variety of activities linked to our topic. We can’t wait to see the creativity, curiosity, and teamwork in Dosbarth Elm!
