Croeso i Dosbarth Mars

Welcome to Class Mars

Welcome to Mars 24/25! I’m Miss Purcell and we are supported by Mrs Williams (TA), Mrs Jones & Mr Tolley (PPA)

Our exciting topic for this term is..... ‘Mountains high, rivers deep’. We are young explorers who will dive into the wonders of towering mountains and flowing rivers! Pupils will discover how mountains are formed, why rivers twist and turn, and the amazing animals and plants that call them home.  We will gain a deeper, routed understanding of how mountains and rivers contribute to our cultural landscape. Are you ready to go with the flow?

Communication

Class Dojo is a brilliant communication tool and used on a regular basis to keep parents/guardians up to date with announcements and messages, as well as posting pictures of classroom activities. It is beneficial that all parents/guardians are set up on Class Dojo. If you require any support with this, then please speak with Miss Purcell.

If you need to contact Miss Purcell, please email purcella27@hwbcymru.net.
