Children have loved practising their dance skills and learning some Welsh folk dancing!
Folk Dancing
Remembrance
I am so proud of all the children this week with their mature approach to learning about Remembrance. They listened carefully and thought of sensible discussion points. We discussed the significance of the poppy and looked at ‘Poppy Fields’ Vincent Van Gogh and the children created their own versions.
Sliders and levers
The children created their own picture book with moving parts to depict the story of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’
Celebrating Diwali!
Children celebrated the Hindu Festival of Light. They read and acted out the story of Rama and Sita, made diva lama, lanterns, decorations and created their own Diwali dance.
Maths Enrichment Day
Our Maths enrichment Day today had an Eco theme. Our day started with a litter pick around the school grounds.
We then used HWB to record the data from the litter pick.
Our next activity involved us sorting recyclable materials is a variety of ways.
Creation Collages
We looked at various pieces of artwork depicting the story of Creation. Here are a few of our collages….
Mantle of the Expert
We were commissioned by Jack to create a map for his Grandma. He wanted our map to use a key, be easy to follow and include key features. Here are our maps.
Ein Coronau Cymesur - Our Symmetrical Crowns
We used our Welsh language skills to read and follow instructions to make a symmetrical crown. Here are some of our creations…..
Library Visit
We thoroughly enjoyed our walk to the library last week. We listened carefully to Mrs Morris read us ‘Handa’s Surprise’ as part of our work on human rights. After the story, we were treated to a drink and a snack in the Community Centre
.
Equality
According to the World Health Organisation 2/3’s of the World’s children do not have enough food to eat. 1/3 of the World’s Children either has enough food or too much food to eat.
We discussed our favourite foods and drew them onto paper plates. Mrs Fielding had put a cloth on the table and explained that only 1/3 of the children were going to eat their feast at the table. The remaining 2/3’s of children would eat a bowl of rice.
The children picked either a meal ticket or rice ticket from a lucky dip
We discussed that there should be enough food in the world for everyone. However, just in this feast, the world’s food is not fairly shared and we tried to imagine how the children who only had a few grains of rice would feel.
