In Sali Mali and Jac Do we welcome our youngest learners to the start of their journey at Ysgol Tudno. Sali Mali children attend in the morning only, Jac Do children stay for lunch and finish school at 3pm.
Our class teacher is Miss Catrin Williams.
Miss Williams - Reception Teacher
We start the day with the register - Sali Mali and Jac Do are registered separately. The children take on the role of Helpwr Heddiw on a rota basis, to encourage taking responsibility and of helping others within the class. The role of Helpwr Heddiw continues throughout their time at Ysgol Tudno in all year groups.
After registration Sali Mali and Jac Do are placed in mixed groups for our Creative, Number, Language and Outdoor planned tasks. During this time, children have the opportunity to do focus tasks with all staff members. Jac Do also have access to Reading Eggs. All children are encouraged to speak Welsh throughout the day and we use Welsh language resources such as Fflic a Fflac, Caru Canu and Cyw.
We also have COOL (Choosing Our Own Learning) time, which are planned activities around the areas of the class that the children can engage with independently. We use lollipop sticks to encourage the children to do independent work. Once they have completed a task, they place the sticks in their plastic pocket. The challenge is to collect all the sticks!

There is no homework in Sali Mali and Jac Do, but we value your support in listening to your child read. Just ten minutes reading together can make a real difference to your child’s confidence.
