Children in Year 2 have been busy creating Autumn inspired artwork in Fun Club. They used a range of Autumn colours to create a background before cutting a black silhouette over the background.
Fun Club
Kerbcraft
Kerbcraft teaches children ages 5-7 how to be safer pedestrians by taking them onto real roads and showing them how the right decision-making and behaviour can really help them to keep safe when crossing the road.
This week the children have been choosing safe places and routes to cross the road. Rob Griffiths who coordinates the Kerbcraft scheme was really impressed by how well the children were able to recognise dangers and hazards and identify alternative crossing places.
Estimating
We have been estimating and counting a number of objects up to 100. We estimated and counted the number of wellies in the welly rack. We grouped some of our items in 2’s and 10’s to help us count accurately.
The boy who harnessed the wind
Year 2 and 3 have really ‘stepped’ in to their Mantle of the Expert commission this term where they have been commissioned to be a team of engineers and researchers. They have found inspiration from the story ‘The boy who harnessed the wind’ which follows the story of William who built a wind turbine using scrap materials to create electricity. The children have been making lists of materials that they will need to complete their engineering role and thinking of interesting questions that they would like to ask William about his invention. If you work in engineering or renewable energy sector, we would really love to hear from you.
Rhif/Numbers
Our Reception pupils have been busy counting the correct number of objects outside to match their given number. Great counting everyone. Da iawn pawb!
Number Fun!
This week we have already begun to practise our number recognition and counting skills. Da iawn pawb!
Forest School Finale!
We spent our last morning together in a Forest School session with Toni and Ruth. We tried new activities, which included making Kazoos and eating doughnuts cooked on an open fire. Everyone had a lovely time, it was the perfect way to chill when everyone was feeling so many different emotions.
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.
Australia!
Year 3 and 4 had a great morning celebrating a day of ‘Australia’. We baked some lamington cakes, made boomerangs, painted didgeridoos and created some Australia artwork. They all had a fabulous time.
Mathemateg
Maths in the last week of the summer term? Absolutely! But with a twist.
Use the given digits to create a division to solve using long division. If your answer is correct and meets the criteria you can sit out of the next calculation and play Uno instead! Some of the criteria: the largest answer, and even answer, a remainder that can be simplified, an even second digit etc!
