Maths Enrichment Morning!

We spent the morning up on the field, in our ‘bubble’ , completing maths activities in a practical way.  Some of the skills we used were:- working as a team, rounding knowledge, understanding angles and turns, using co-ordinates, understanding symmetry and properties of 2D shapes.

‘We enjoyed being in the fresh air, able to mix with different children in our bubble, from the other class’  Herbie

‘I enjoyed completing the maths with different friends in my bubble’  Lacey

‘I liked Mrs Watts’ activity- we had to find a secret message!’  Will

‘I enjoyed using a compass’  Alice

‘It was really fun, even though we were doing work at the same time!’  Tegan

Children in Need!

We helped to raise money for Children in Need with our non-uniform/spotty day!

Thank you for supporting this worthwhile cause.

 

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
