Churchyards and burial grounds are very important
places for Lichens. Many burial grounds have well over
100 species of Lichen in them. In our groups we looked at how many different types we could find and where we found them.
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!
Our archaeologists have been wanting to find out more about the mummification process. In groups they made mummies using the materials provided and they looked at the key stages involved in the process.
We are so pleased with our paper mache solar system. We have used so many skills from across the curriculum to make them!
Look at our AMAZING Solar System!! We have all worked extremely hard to make this fantastic Solar System. Great team work by all of the children!
Year 2 and 3 have been looking at forces and magnets in Science. They carried out an investigation to test the amount of friction on different surfaces.
In our PSHE Jigsaw session we have been looking at resolving conflicts. In groups we identified reasons for conflict and we used positive problem solving techniques to resolve them.
We are all very excited at how it is looking and can’t wait to explore it.
Reception/Year One have been thinking about forgiveness and the need to say sorry. Here, they have drawn pictures to show people damaging our planet, saying sorry, and being forgiven.
