This term the children of Dosbarth Enfys were asked ‘What is bright and beautiful to you?’ The children gave wonderful responses, here are some examples below;

‘I am beautiful! My Mummy is beautiful. My dog is happy and makes me smile.

Ladybugs in my garden. I think books! My house is beautiful.

The Heritage Café is beautiful. The sun and moon are bright.’

The children’s responses will lead the learning this term, they will explore why they are so special and what they need to do to stay healthy. The children will also express in different ways why pets, insects and books make them smile!

The children will enjoy their surrounding beauty with plenty of outdoor walks and activities. They will listen to and retell their favourite stories, fostering a love of books, building upon their language skills and feeding their imagination. The children will be using digital devices to research and find out interesting facts about our amazing insects and animals and how they survive in their different habitats!
