"Would you rather read the book or watch the film?'
We have written and recorded our own opinions and views with advantages and disadvantages for reading books and watching films. We asked Class 9 their views, collected data and compared the results with some very surprising results!
As we near the end of our BookFlix topic, the class remain enthusiastic and keen to read which is terrific to see. Please remember to check your Google Classroom message which I have sent to you all to say which books to read on the Oxford Owl Website.
Many thanks for your continued support.
π Well done Class 6 on all of your hard work this half term, I am very proud of you all. π
We have had a busy half term with our topic ‘BookFlix’ and have done some fantastic work especially linked to our story ‘Molly and the Lighthouse’. We have written our own stories, made our own lighthouses light up and found out about lighthouses in Wales.
I am thrilled to see you all working so hard each week to beat your Beat That scores too.

Enjoy the half term break and see you back in school on Monday 2nd November.
Mrs Sheppard
Welcome to Class 6
Even though it has been a very unusual start to the new academic year, the children have all settled really well into Key Stage 2, our new classroom and our daily routines. We are creating our own ‘class bubble’ and our daily routine involves regular hand washing and sanitising, which the children are taking great responsibility for.
Our topic focus at the moment is on wellbeing, ensuring all pupils are happy, settled and ready for learning and continuing to make progress.
Class information
I shall be regularly updating this class page and our twitter account @BryncethinPS6.
If you have any questions at any time, please do not hesitate to phone the school office on 01656 815840, leave a message and I will return your call as soon as I can.
Many thanks for your continued support,
Mrs Sheppard
