We have been finding out about poor Victorian children and we created a healthy meal for them. We also calculated the cost of the meals.
Healthy Victorian Meals
Growing our Forest School!
Mrs Fielding and Miss Jones are currently studying to become Level 3 Forest Schools Practitioners with the aim of establishing our very own forest school community in our school grounds. The forest school will be located on the school field under the canopy of the beautiful oak, hazel and ash trees. The ethos of the forest schools experience is to give learners the opportunity to develop self esteem, build confidence, resilience and take risks in a practical, physical and natural outdoor environment.
If you have any experience, advice or resources that would assist in the development of our forest schools community, we would love to hear from you.

Growing our Forest School!
Mrs Fielding and Miss Jones are currently completing their level 3 Forest School Practitioners Course with the aim of setting up Forest School provision within our school setting. Our forest school will be located up on the field under the canopy of our beautiful hazel, beech and birch trees. The ethos of forest schools gives learners the opportunity to develop self-esteem, build confidence, resilience and take risks in a practical, physical, natural outdoor environment. We wish to create a community that will engage in lifelong learning and a passion for our local, natural environment.
Members of our school community have been extremely helpful in enabling us to develop the forest school site by offering resources and advice. If you have any forest schools experience or have any advice that you could offer us, we would love to hear from you.

Well-being Wednesday
Sal came and worked with us and we enjoyed a Physical Literacy session playing ‘bingo’ and having to complete a variety of exercises.
All fun and games
Wealthy Victorians enjoyed playing indoor parlour games. Magnets were often used in the making of these games. We were commissioned to find out more about Victorian games that would have been played and create our own using magnets.
Victorian Yard Games
Children in Dosbarth Gwennol have been learning to play a variety of yard games that children in Victorian times would have played. We played hopscotch, tag, follow the leader, skipping skittles. We are now busy writing instructions on how to play these games.
PC Ainsworth
On Monday, for Safer Internet Day, we were visited by PC Ainsworth who talked about how we can stay safe online.
Let there be light!
In Victorian times, electric lights started to replace candles, gas lamps and oil lamps. Joseph Swan and Thomas Edison each developed successful electric light bulbs. As a mantle of the expert task we were commissioned to build our own circuits to light a bulb!
Chinese New Year
The children created their own dragon dance to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Bird Feeders
The children have enjoyed following instructions carefully to make their own bird feeders.
