Aderyn Du have carried out some air resistance science investigations as part of our Mantle work. We tested how far a piece of paper travels depending on the different shape. We discussed the different variables that affect how far it can travel. We also investigated how fast different items drop from a certain height. We found out that items that are streamline and heavier fall faster.
Today, we planned activities to make us smile and feel happy as part of Hello Yellow where we are thinking of children’s mental Health. Baking and fresh air with our friends!
We’ve enjoyed creating some Autumn art using some natural materials from outside!
Today we had a great day celebrating Wales through lots of fun, Welsh activities. Reception focused on ‘Sut wyt ti?’ and Year One ‘Ble wyt ti’n byw?’ We played parachute games, decorated biscuits with feelings and houses and loved the silent disco!
In maths, year 5 and 6 were finding the area of shapes. We went outside to collect different shaped leaves. We drew a square or rectangle inside the shape and calculated the area. We then estimated the area of the remaining part of the leaf and added them together to estimate the total area.
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!
We have been developing our vocabulary about the ‘weather’ in our Welsh language sessions. We have enjoyed learning lots of new songs and following instructions playing parachute games.
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.
We have been learning about the relationship between multiplication and division. We used a range of resources to help us solve some work problems.
