Dosbarth Gwennol and Dosbarth Jac Y do were visited this morning by Mrs Rimmer. She thanked us for our letters that we wrote asking her for more bins. She also asked us to help her as she didn’t know much information about plastic pollution. We discussed how we could find information and we decided to use our reading skills to research using the Internet, information sheets and books.
We have been busy learning a song about the weather…..
Today we (space cadets from the European Space Agency!) were given details of a competition that we could enter.
Why didn’t the asteroid belt form a planet? What would the planet have been like if it did?
Here is some useful Welsh Vocabulary that you can use at home.

Today Year 3 & 4 were visited by Elin from The Size of Wales to deliver a workshop about rainforests and climate change. We have been working on rainforests within our mantle so a lot of the information felt familiar to us. We learnt more about the issues with the ingredient ‘palm oil’ and how our day-to-day lives can impact of the tropical rainforests.
Did you know that tropical rainforests that equal 9 times the size of Wales are cut down every year? We can make small changes to help with this, such as buying a Fairtrade product once a week, baking at home (who knew baking could save lives?) using sustainable ingredients etc. And if you see this symbol on the products, even better! Let us know if you find one, it is apparently quite elusive!
Your child’s homework over this half term holiday will be to enter one (or more) of the competitions for our Dydd Dathliad Cymraeg which will be held on Friday 4th March. Our Dydd Dathliad Cymraeg is our schools day for celebrating St. David’s Day. All entries need to be uploaded onto HWB and shared with the designated teacher. Remember the more entries you compete in, the more chance you will have of winning a prize. There will be a prize for 1st, 2nd, 3rd for each category per key stage (Foundation Phase and Key Stage 2). All entries need to be in by Tuesday 1st March.
