Welcome to Dosbarth Pinc!
About us
We are a happy class of 37 inquisitive and smiling pupils, ranging from 3 to 6 years of age.
We have four friendly members of staff who help to provide the best learning opportunities possible.
We believe that early childhood should be filled with enjoyment end exploration, and the most appropriate vehicle through which we can achieve this for our little ones is through play!
Children are eager to learn and it is our task to ensure they have purposeful play activities, both indoors and outdoors, that stimulate their thinking and curiosities, supporting them to develop skills further with focused tasks to build on their next steps in learning.
Staff are on hand to facilitate learning at every opportunity giving praise and encouragement and asking leading questions that extend learning.
Meet the Team
Mrs Dalton - Class Teacher
Mrs Dalton is the newest member of our team, and she has fitted in like a glove. A musical whiz and keen runner, Mrs Dalton is already a hit in the Foundation Phase!
Mrs Pike - Foundation Phase Practitioner
Mrs Pike knows where everything is! If you need it, Mrs Pike can find it. She is amazing at keeping all of our Learning Labs stocked with all the resources the children need. She loves to read, especially the Bible and she enjoys baking cakes.
Mrs Habberfield - Foundation Phase Practitioner
Returning to the foundation phase after many years, Miss Habberfield says it's like riding a bike!
Miss Gregory - Foundation Phase Practitioner
Miss Gregory has recently re-joined Team Penrhys and we are so happy to have her as part of Dosbarth Pinc!
Snacks
Pupils are welcome to bring a piece of fruit to school as a snack, every day. We ask that pupils' names are labelled on the tupperware or directly on the fruit. They are encouraged to be self sufficient in peeling their fruit.
We do not allow grapes to be brought into school as part of pupils' snack.
Pupils are encouraged to bring personalised reusable water bottles which are cleaned and refilled daily.
We do not allow pupils to bring fizzy drinks into school as part of pupils' snack.
Clothing
In the foundation phase we provide a variety of opportunities daily for children to develop their gross motor and fine manipulation skills. We ask that pupils are appropriately dressed in comfortable uniform, footwear and coats that will withstand the different environments we use, including the outdoor area. We use aprons in the water play and mud kitchen, but of course, when having fun some messes are inevitable.
On Wednesdays we have a directed PE session and advise that pupils wear trainers on this day.
On other days when pupils need to wear clothing other than uniform, we will inform you via text and Seesaw.
*Please ensure all items of clothing are labelled with your child's name*
If you ever have any questions or you need any advice please do not hesitate to contact us via Seesaw,
Diolch yn fawr!
