We loved listening to the story of ‘The Three Little Pigs.’ Following the story, we hot seated the characters, made the three houses and practised initial sounds, spelling and letter formation.
Literacy Enrichment Day
Diwali
The children have also been finding out about Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Light. They enjoyed using their reading skills to read and follow instructions to make Diwali decorations. Ethical Informed Citizens
Estimating and weighing
The children estimated and weighed pumpkins. We ordered the pumpkins by weight and we discovered that the largest is not always the heaviest.
Cooking
We thought about what we could do with the apples on the school apple tree. We decided to make apple crumble. We weighed, measured, rubbed and chopped. It was yummy!
Dance with Emily
We enjoyed a dance session with Emily.
Pyjama Drama
Hwyaid Bach had loads of fun on Thursday when Pyjama Drama came to visit! The children pretended that they were on an alien planet which was very messy and had lots of litter on it. They acted out a variety of different tasks such as picking up the litter to make the alien planet beautiful again.
Dance with Emily/Dawns gyda Emily
We had a fantastic hour with Emily, learning new dance moves and creating our own. We loved using the scarves when dancing!
Diwrnod Shwmae Su'mae
Pupils in year 5/6 enjoyed using their Welsh language throughout the day and creating a ‘Shwmae Su’mae’ doodle.
Music Makers!
Children in Gwennol and Jac Y Do were commissioned to make music using everyday items. The children worked in groups for their compositions. Some groups used items from around the classroom and put them to a different use, whilst other groups used junk materials to make their own instruments. Enterprising, creative contributors.
Shwmae Shwmae!
Children enjoyed using their Welsh language skills to practise their colours and using their incidental Welsh when asking for things during their colouring sessions. They also were able to follow a recipe in Welsh to make some delicious honey flapjacks! Bendigedig! Ambitious, capable learners.
