Spring Term 2025

Our topic this term is 'Fairytales and Castles.' From Frozen to Beauty and the Beast we will explore characters, setting and plot. The children will have opportunities to build castles in the construction area and using natural materials outdoors. The children will also learn about real local castles such as Caerphilly and Cardiff Castle. As always in our class we continue to base our learning around the seasons and will explore Winter and Spring this term. We will take part in the annual big bird watch, study St Dwynwen and St Davids as part of our Welsh heritage and join in with Chinese New Year celebrations! It is certainly shaping up to be a busy term!
