About Our Class
Welcome to Dosbarth Limeslade, where we learn through exploring, investigating and being curious.
We enjoy being with our friends and learning new social skills like sharing, taking turns and listening to others. We start to become independent by hanging up our own coats, learning how to put our coats on, putting our water and fruit away and looking after our toys.
It can be a little daunting coming into school for the first time but the staff in Dosbarth Limeslade provide a kind and caring environment for the children to have the freedom to explore and make life long friendships.
