For literacy enrichment day, we looked at ly and simile sentences then used these to write some poetry about autumn. In the afternoon, we then created artwork to accompany our poems. We really enjoyed our day.
Literacy Enrichment
Five Ways to Well-being
Gail from In Reach CAMHS came in to see us to talk about well-being. We learnt that the 5 ways to well-being are: Keep learning, connect, take notice, give and be active. We then created posters to share ideas of how we might do this.
How can we help? Sut ydyn ni’n gallu helpu?
The pupils agreed they would like to help refugees to feel welcome, loved and supported and that something as simple as a smile would help to do that.
’If I could do anything to help I would …’
Suggestions included: making donations of food, toys, money and shelter, offering a place to stay, providing support to locate missing friends and family, work to promote peace and end war.
Some of our class activities have focused on owls.
Working together to make a paper mâché owl.
Cutting and sticking to make paper owls.
We hunted for natural materials on the school field and then designed and made owls.
Literacy Enrichment Day
We went on a nature walk looking at all of the signs of Autumn. We used this as inspiration to write poems based on Alan Peate ‘ly’ sentences.
Zumba
We were so lucky to work with Tanya to develop our Zumba skills on Wednesday. Here are some of our pictures.
Well-being Day
We enjoyed a range of activities including outdoor Andy Goldsworthy artwork, circus skills, physical literacy and we looked picking the delicious apples from the tree to make apply crumble.
Well-being Day!
In the morning, we discussed what makes a good day and a bad day and how to change things when they are going wrong. We then had great fun in the sun playing with the circus skills equipment in the morning. After lunch, when we weren’t swimming, we played yard games, including ‘Mr. Martian’, Duck, Duck Goose and Wink Murder. What a lovely active day we had.
Well-being day! Diwrnod Iechyd Meddwl!
Years 5 and 6 took part in lots of different activities which promote a positive mental health, these included; Forest School, baking, team-building games, Lego, K’nex, art and more….! We think everyone had a great time, even if the biscuits didn’t taste quite as we had hoped!
Diwrnod Shwmae Su'mae
We celebrated Welsh speaking by learning a Welsh song, doing some mindful Welsh word colouring and playing Welsh yard games. We had a fun day!
