Welcome to Celyn class! We are a Year 4, 5 and 6 class.
Our Teacher is Mrs Burke-Williams and we receive support from our Teaching Assistants.
In Celyn class this Autumn term, the children will investigate who was to blame for the sinking of the Titanic, looking at various roles people had to play in the disaster, and will write a balanced argument as well as debating this orally. The children will be looking at a timeline of events, as well as analysing primary and secondary historical sources related to the disaster. In our ‘Philosophy’ lessons the children will look discuss and debate classism and prejudice that may have been present on board the Titanic. In Expressive Arts, the children will complete artwork ‘through the ship window’ using a variety of different artistic tools, as well as creating dramatic freeze frames to demonstrate the scenes before, during and after the sinking. In Music, our Charanga module for this half term is ‘Mama Mia!’. In Science, the children will investigate and experiment with properties of materials, floating and sinking, as well as water resistance. These are just some of the exciting activities for this term’s topic!
For Maths and Numeracy, we follow the INSPIRE Maths scheme and each child works at the appropriate level for them.
The children also receive weekly Dragon Sports P.E sessions through Arura Sports, and take part in the daily mile.
