Year 5 have started forest school sessions with Miss Jones. We have enjoyed den building and creating bug hotels. We used the knives safely to sharpen sticks to use as tent pegs. We are looking forward to starting fires in our sessions soon.
Year 4 and 5 had a great couple of days at Oaker wood! We enjoyed lots of different activities like rafting, low ropes, monkey climb, zip line, puzzles, toasting marshmallows, playing games around the campfire and eating chicken nuggets and chips!
Year 5 and 6 had a visit from the RAF museum, where they had a go at creating their own rockets. They had to think about their design to see which one would travel the longest distance. We went on to the field to launch the rockets by pumping up pressure into their launching machine. The second activity was following instructions to make a hopper using the lego spike resources. We had a great morning!
We had great fun completing VE Day Lego Challenge cards. We chose who we worked with and which challenge we wanted to complete. We made celebration cakes, peace gardens, spitfires, Union Jack flags and old-fashioned radios. We have shown that we have great construction skills!
In RVE, we created a photo gallery showing things that we found interesting and beautiful. We zoomed in on some of the items so that we can see them in more detail.
These are some of our entries for the Urdd Arts and Crafts Eisteddfod. We have photography, jewellery, models, paintings, drawings and puppets! Da iawn bawb a phob lลตc!
In RVE we discussed the meaning of the word ‘create’ and we became ‘creators’. We created artwork using natural resources that we felt was wonderful. We talked about our creations and how being outside makes us feel.
Arlo “I feel happy and calm”
Alba “Nature is my happy place”
Corey “I like being outdoors looking at butterflies”
Bluebell “Nature makes me feel free”
Lola “I like taking care of things and helping them to grow”
Elin “Being outside makes me feel peaceful with the birds singing and tweeting”
Aderyn Du and Barcud Coch really enjoyed planning their play this term! We hope you enjoyed watching as much as we did performing!
After deciding we need to increase the biodiversity on the school field, we have decided to make some mini bug hotels to place in our forest school/woodland area whilst we wait for donations to make a bigger bug hotel.
This year our play was inspired by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Pupils have worked to create new characters and scenes, and wrote the scripts themselves. They have worked hard and a short schedule, hopefully everyone enjoyed the show!
