Spring Term 2025
Welcome to Dosbarth Castell’s class page. This term we will be learning about culture and heritage, see below for this term’s planning.
Why is it important that children learn about this?
Pupils will learn about their own culture and heritage in order to develop their own identity and sense of belonging. They will explore what it means to be Welsh. We will also learn from our friends about other cultures and traditions within our class which will help us to understand how we are similar and different to our friends. We will listen to traditional Welsh stories and fables and use this to create our own stories so that we understand our history. We will learn about traditional dances in Wales, including modern dance. We will develop observation skills that will help us to interpret the meaning. This will then be extended to other countries as dance is another to communicate. We will learn to dance and to create a simple drama which will help us to develop our creative skills.
