We enjoyed a visit from the Elan Valley Trust where they brought along their planetarium for us to find out more about the Solar System.
Planetarium
Hello Yellow!
As part of Hello Yellow Day, we looked at different emotions and positive words to describe ourselves. We decorated biscuits with faces, and created some beautiful pieces of artwork. Da iawn pawb!
Investigating!
Following our work on investigating circuits, we had a look at what materials were conductors and insulators of electricity. We thoroughly enjoyed this!
Gwaith Gwych! 🙂
Windmills, windmills, windmills...
Another prototype by our budding engineer! Da iawn!
Music Monday
Today we joined Daisy and Polly who led an expressive arts session on Zoom. We sang Autumn songs in a round and listened to a variety of wind instruments.
Pattern/Patrwm
We have explored making patterns for the sail of our boats. We know that penguin particularly enjoys repeating patterns!
Engineers in action!
Energy for Change were very impressed with our information texts explaining ‘how windmills work’ So they challenged our team of engineers to make an electrical circuit. Here are some of our resilient investigators experimenting with building their circuits.
Boomwhackers
Children in year 2 have been enjoying using the boomwhackers. Boomwhackers can improve cognitive skills such as focus, concentration, and memory. Keeping track of different notes, patterns, and melodies strengthens the childrens mental agility and enhances their overall cognitive abilities. They are also really good fun and sounded great!
Autumn Silhouettes
Well done to all the children who chose to create Autumn silhouettes during their Fun Club session.
Rainforest in a Shoebox\fforest law mewn blwch esgidiau
We have consolidated all our learning of the rainforest by making a rainforest in a shoebox. We thought about the weather, features of the rainforest and the animals that live there.
