The children have really enjoyed planning and preparing for their 1940’s themed party. Special thanks to Louise Hardwick for baking with the children, staff and volunteers and parents for supporting the event.
1940's Tea Party
Sensory Circuits
Today, the children took calculated risks, concentrated, worked cooperatively together and had lots of fun.
World Book Day
On Thursday we welcomed Judith and Gilles to share a story with us about the ‘Legend of the whistling tree’ . They read the story in English, Welsh and French. We really enjoyed finding out about the French legend.
We also looked at the story of Handa’s Suprise and we completed a variety of activities based on the story.
St. David's Day
We have enjoyed a variety of activities to celebrate St. David’s Day. We sung our hearts out to ‘Dydd Cofio Dewi Sant’ and ‘Yma o Hyd’, we read some Welsh stories and we played ‘Trap Llygodyn’ and ‘Faint o’r gloch ydy Mister Blaidd?’
Pyjama Drama
We enjoyed another great Pyjama session last week with Louise. We created a story about being evacuee children and we thought carefully about some of the games that they would have played.
Dyed Gwyl Dewi
We enjoyed making Welsh cakes.
We weighed, mixed and fried our cakes.
Orienteering.
Year five and six had a go at a simple orienteering task. They went outside to look for letters on the field. They marked this on their maps and then came back inside to work out the coordinates and then worked out the word.
It was a challenging activity- particularly when it started to rain and their maps got wet!
Dathliad Cymraeg/St David's Day Celebrations
Well done to all our Dathliad Cymraeg competition winners. We celebrated their efforts in a special assembly where we were also joined by one woman band Mrs Judith Phillips, who taught us ‘A Lan Y Mor.’
Physical Literacy
We enjoy playing Sharks and the Beans games for physical literacy.
Saint David's Day
We worked very hard on our cutting skills to create daffodil collages.
