1. Croeso i cwrdd â Blwyddyn 3, 4 & 5 Welcome to Year 3, 4 & 5 meeting

2. Organising the Learning
Year 3, 4 & 5
Following on from the Philosophy of the Foundation Phase, children are no longer grouped in sets. This results in a more flexible type of learning
Y3 and 4 will be organising independent tasks in the afternoon called ‘missions’. These activities are designed to improve and develop their thinking skills and independence.
TAs assist within the class whilst other teaching staff are also used to deliver intervention programmes to children needing more specific support.
Smaller groups ensure the children with the greatest needs receive the support they need in order to succeed.
