The Curiosity Channel

We have set up our own ‘YouTube’ channel called The Curiosity Channel, where viewers can write in with any of their scientific questions and we will try to create an explainer video to help them understand the answer to their question. The class have worked hard to write an introductory script, created a logo and a tune for the show. They have used Abode to put all of these elements together for our first video. Since sharing the video on our channel (on Hwb) we have been asked a question about electrical circuits. Can we help?

Pa ddiwrnod fydd hi yfory? Dydd Iau bydd hi yfory.

Forest School Finale!

We spent our last morning together in a Forest School session with Toni and Ruth. We tried new activities, which included making Kazoos and eating doughnuts cooked on an open fire. Everyone had a lovely time, it was the perfect way to chill when everyone was feeling so many different emotions.

Mathemateg

Maths in the last week of the summer term? Absolutely! But with a twist.
Use the given digits to create a division to solve using long division. If your answer is correct and meets the criteria you can sit out of the next calculation and play Uno instead! Some of the criteria: the largest answer, and even answer, a remainder that can be simplified, an even second digit etc!

COP30

We have been learning about the location of the next COP30 meeting. Pupils have created their own glossary to help them understand it better. We have learned about the impact this meeting and the logistics around it have had on the Amazon rainforest. Information and discussion texts have been written to try and help us make informed decisions for ourselves.

Well-being day

For our well-being day Year 6 pupils welcomed parents into the classroom after our class assembly. They then chose to either play rounders or to do some arts & crafts outside. This was followed by a Forest School session in the afternoon. How relaxing!

Year 6 Leavers’ Service

Our Year 6 pupils were invited to Brecon Cathedral to take part in the Leavers’ Service for the children in the diocese. Pupils created a banner, which represented our school, to present to the Bishop. We took part in a service then enjoyed some different activities in the Cathedral in the afternoon. Roedd e’n hyfryd.

Visiting the Amazon

We have been learning about the deforestation that is happening in the Amazon rainforest in preparation for the COP30 summit in November. To better understand what is going on there we quickly organised a trip considering the modes of transport required and what would be needed with us. Beforehand we considered how different groups of people might be feelings about this and then completed some ‘hot seating’ in order to have some quotes ready for our news report. We then ‘travelled’ there by plane and boat and we drew what we could see whilst in the rainforest.

Forest School Fires

Today Year 6 had their second Forest School session of the term. They want to have s’mores at some point but we needed to develop our fire building skills first. Two groups showed great team-work, communication skills and perseverance to create flames and sustain them. It was a little windy and we now all smell smokey!
