Follow our activities on Twitter @ysgolyddraig Foundation Phase Sports Day will be held at school on our back field (behind Nursery) on Thursday 15th June at 9:30 am. We expect it to last about an hour. Children are invited to come to school wearing their team colours and appropriate footwear. Please make sure they have a water bottle in school. There will be a viewing area for spectators around the outside of the Sport area and refreshments will be on sale. Children will need to remain with their teachers and classes for the duration of the Sports events and will then return to their classes. Safety of the children is paramount and we ask that spectators do not encourage children to come to the viewing area during the event. Home Learning activities Please support your child in practising additions on the back of this sheet, by holding the larger number in their head and counting on. This does not need to be returned to school. Please support your child in learning how to log in to Active Learn and Hwb independently. If you have any questions or queries please do not hesitate to ask. Diolch yn Fawr Miss S Grafton, Mrs N Farmer and the year 1 team
