Language
and Literacy
|
Language
development plays an important part in the teaching programme in all
subjects across the curriculum. All
pupils follow a basic course in reading using established reading
schemes. They read in groups, one to one and at home. They
enjoy "Big Book" and other aspects of the Cardiff
Achievement in Literacy Strategy (CAL),
which promotes their skill and development as independent writers in a
variety of genres. |
 |
Mathematics
|
 |
Daily
Math's lessons enable the children to fulfill their potential through
carefully graded work. We use a combination of mental tasks,
investigation and formal number work (including tables) to develop a sound
base of mathematical skills for each pupil. Teaching at Key Stage 2
is based upon recognised National Schemes with added material from other
sources.
All classes implement the numeracy strategies as employed in the Cardiff
Achievement in Numeracy Project. Great emphasis is placed upon the
children's computational skills and mental ability. |
Science
|
Science
(including Health Education) is taught in all classes. Pupils follow
a carefully designed Science Scheme of work for each Year Group. The
Science lessons are planned according to CELIPS (Cardiff Effective
Learning in Primary Science) - a project which the school has actively
been involved in, which has greatly enhanced the quality of teaching and
learning in Science, together with the range of opportunities afforded to
the children.
The Science Curriculum is further enriched for the pupils by:
- Providing opportunities for educational visits to Techniquest.
- Visits to school from Scientists from Techniquest, XL Wales Roadshow
and guest speakers.
- Participating in practical Science activities and competitors in
Science Week.

Information,
Communication Technology
|
 |
Each
class has its own computer, networked and with internet access. Each
P.C. has a variety of software appropriate
for the year group and set of topics. The children quickly become
proficient and confident using a wide range of IT skills.
We also have a computer suite with interactive whiteboard and digital
projector, timetabled for use by all the classes in the school.
The development of the network of all PC's in the school including those in
the Computer Suite, combined with the introduction of broadband, has
resulted in great improvements in ICT across the curriculum.
|
Religious
Education
|
R.E. is
taught within the guidelines issued by the Local Education
Authority. We have daily Collective Worship to promote a sense of
self awareness and belonging. Every class has weekly R.E. lessons,
and we aim to develop an awareness of religious, spiritual and moral
attitudes for each child. |
 |
Welsh
|
 |
In order
to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum, Welsh is taught as a
second language by each teacher. Emphasis is placed on developing
incidental Welsh through oral work, action rhymes, vocabulary and
phrases. Every day greetings and commands all add to the development
of incidental Welsh and the inclusion of a Welsh perspective in all topics
studied, helps to further enhance Y Cwricwlwm Cymraig. |
Foundation
Subjects
The foundation subjects
(Music, Art, History, Geography, Physical Education and Design Technology) are
also part of our curriculum. When combined make a broad and balanced
weekly timetable, which is why learning at Llanedeyrn Primary School is such an
enriching experience.
