Spring Term 2026 / Tymor Y Gwanwyn 2026
During the Spring Term Dosbarth Pili-pala will be studying the following topic:
Our new learning theme for this term: "Tribes and Traditions - The Celts."
This topic will take learners on an exciting journey into the world of the Celtic people,
exploring their history, culture, and traditions.
In this project the learners will:
-
Who were the Celts?
We will explore the origins of the Celtic tribes, where they lived, and how they influenced the history of Britain and Europe. -
Daily Life and Traditions
Children will learn about the lifestyle of Celtic people, including their homes, clothing, food, and customs. -
Celtic Art and Symbols
We will discover the beautiful and intricate designs used by the Celts, including knotwork and symbols, and children will have the opportunity to create their own Celtic-inspired artwork. -
Stories and Myths
The Celts are famous for their legends and myths. We will share some fascinating stories that have been passed down through generations. -
Hands-on Activities and Projects
To bring the theme to life, your child will engage in crafts, storytelling, and perhaps even a group project related to Celtic tribes and traditions.
How you can support learning at home
-
Encourage your child to share what they learn in class.
-
Visit your local library or use online resources to find books and videos about the Celts.
-
Explore Celtic art or crafts together.
-
Discuss the importance of traditions and cultural heritage in your family.
This theme will not only enrich your child's understanding of history but also develop
their creativity, communication, and teamwork skills.
We are looking forward to a term full of creativity, fun and learning together!
