Music Makers!
Children in Gwennol and Jac Y Do were commissioned to make music using everyday items. The children worked in groups for their compositions. Some groups used items from around the classroom and put them to a different use, whilst other groups used junk materials to make their own instruments. Enterprising, creative contributors.
Shwmae Shwmae!
Children enjoyed using their Welsh language skills to practise their colours and using their incidental Welsh when asking for things during their colouring sessions. They also were able to follow a recipe in Welsh to make some delicious honey flapjacks! Bendigedig! Ambitious, capable learners.
Pyjama Drama
Dosbarth Gwennol welcomed Louise from Pyjama Drama on Friday. Louise worked with the class to create a drama about meeting an alien and helping him clean up our planet. Ethical, informed citizens

Andy Goldworthy inspired artwork!
We were inspired by the artwork of Andy Goldsworthy and we used this inspiration to create our own pieces of artwork.
Research, research, research!
Dosbarth Gwennol and Dosbarth Jac Y do were visited this morning by Mrs Rimmer. She thanked us for our letters that we wrote asking her for more bins. She also asked us to help her as she didn’t know much information about plastic pollution. We discussed how we could find information and we decided to use our reading skills to research using the Internet, information sheets and books.
Our Welsh Song!
We have been busy learning a song about the weather…..
