Lest we forget....

We have been researching ‘War Animals’ in order to paint pictures of these brave creatures and write poetry from their perspective.

‘I enjoyed doing the painting as we don’t often have the opportunity to paint.  It was emotional to find out about what some of these animals had to do during war’ (Lacey)

‘I found out that goats helped out in WW1 and possibly WW2, they could see bombs and pushed the soldiers away from the bombs!’ (Rosie)

‘The pigeons were used for spying and sending messages’ (Herbie)

‘Elephants were used for carrying guns, on their backs, they must have been scared and upset!’ (Evie)

‘Dogs were used to sniff out soldiers that had been injured, they were very clever and well-trained’ (Lilien)

Exciting, fun games at play!

Bets said, “I like doing gymnastics with my friends.”

Adam said, “Making the den is fun!”

Rhys said, “I enjoy playing football with everyone.”

Tegan and Evie said, “We enjoy playing tag rugby.”

 

Kung Fu Punctuation!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Literacy Enrichment Day last Wednesday!  Here are some photos of what we were doing!

Mantle commission work for 'The Age of Princes'

In Aderyn Du this week we have been working in groups on a Mantle commission about ‘The Age of Princes’!  Each group has designed a coat of arms as part of their work.  Below are the winning designs for each group!  The children thought hard about which colours, animals and patterns to use, explaining why they had chosen them e.g. red for blood, green for envy, pink for love, an eagle for flying high above other armies, a snake to represent a battle etc

Week 12 Literacy

Hi Everyone! Here is the literacy planning for this week. Over these last two weeks we will be developing skills to write a biography. We will also be recapping basic skills such as punctuation and spelling. Hope you have a great week. Get in touch with us if you need it and keep sending us your work, if you can, so we can see what you get up to.
