Origami
Today Mercedes, a former pupil of ours, has come in to help pupils make some origami flowers for Mrs Gibbons, a former member of staff! They will be on show at her stall at the Royal Welsh Show. They had to listen carefully and follow the instructions to make the complicated designs!
Jigsaw- The Year Ahead
Today Year 6 completed the final unit of ‘Changing Me’. All topics taught have been dealt with in a really mature manner by all pupils, with open and honest conversations, despite many feeling embarrassed by the nature of the unit. The last lesson was to think about the year ahead and moving on to high school…thinking about any worries (making new friends, losing old friends, getting lost, detentions, missing the bus) they might have and what could help.
Gemau Olympiadd BSL
Kate visited again today to teach us some BSL about sports and the Olympic Games. Did you know there Deaflympics? And that Wales have the world champions for the deaf male and female rugby teams?
Can you guess what some of these signs mean? Ydych chi’n gallu dyfalu?
BSL
Today Katie came in to school to teach us some BSL for food and drinks. We can now communicate about what foods and drinks we like and dislike in 3 languages!
Dysgon ni, caneuon ni, chwaraeon ni.
We learned, we sang, we played!
Sports day practise
Aderyn du have had a run-through to make sure there is someone available to help the younger pupils (and staff). Mae nhw’n barod i helpu.
How do we compare to world records?!
Forest School
This morning Aderyn du took part in a session. Great team-work and perseverance was shown. Roedd gwaith tîm da!
Drugs - Cyffuriau
PC Ainsworth visited us today to talk about drugs; legal and illegal. She highlighted the importance of the age restrictions of things like alcohol, tobacco and vapes; they are poisonous to the growing bodies of children. Lots of pupils share their ideas and knowledge in a respectful way.
Cardiff trip _ Trip Caerdydd
Aethon ni i Gaerdydd. Aethon ni i Big Pit, St. Fagan’s, ar y speedboat, i’r Senedd, bowlio-deg, Techniquest ac Aberfan Memorial Garden.
We learned about the history of Wales. Some of us stayed away from home for the first time. We had to organise ourselves and our belongings. We had to share a room with other people. We persevered even when something was tough or tiring. Some of us had to be brave.
Caswon ni lawer o hwyl. We had lots of fun and the behaviour of our pupils was excellent!
A huge ‘thank you’ goes to each of the following for their generous donations: the Blakemore Foundation for their contribution towards our visit to Techniquest, to the Senedd for a grant towards our travel costs and to our Friends of School committee who enabled us to enjoy the speedboat! Diolch yn fawr iawn!
