Week 24th Jan
Well-being Wednesday
Sal came and worked with us and we enjoyed a Physical Literacy session playing ‘bingo’ and having to complete a variety of exercises.
All fun and games
Wealthy Victorians enjoyed playing indoor parlour games. Magnets were often used in the making of these games. We were commissioned to find out more about Victorian games that would have been played and create our own using magnets.
Victorian Yard Games
Children in Dosbarth Gwennol have been learning to play a variety of yard games that children in Victorian times would have played. We played hopscotch, tag, follow the leader, skipping skittles. We are now busy writing instructions on how to play these games.
PC Ainsworth
On Monday, for Safer Internet Day, we were visited by PC Ainsworth who talked about how we can stay safe online.
Let there be light!
In Victorian times, electric lights started to replace candles, gas lamps and oil lamps. Joseph Swan and Thomas Edison each developed successful electric light bulbs. As a mantle of the expert task we were commissioned to build our own circuits to light a bulb!
Chinese New Year
The children created their own dragon dance to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Following Instructions!
We listened to and followed instructions carefully to make pirate hats and bird feeders.
Bird Feeders
The children have enjoyed following instructions carefully to make their own bird feeders.
Following Instructions
We have been following instructions to make pirate hats and bird feeders. The bird feeders are now outside in the Quad for the birds to enjoy. We are going to use our good looking eyes to watch the birds enjoy their food.
