We were kindly asked by some former members of staff to create some decorations for the Royal Welsh show, where they are Hostesses in the Sheep Tower. Some of our pupils are keen members of Young Farmers and/or farming enthusiasts so they were very happy to help out.
Today some of our Year 6 pupils have been busy working with their peers in the cluster. Each school has had a piece of digital equipment to use for the term; the pupils have had to plan and create a task to deliver to their peers from other schools in order to train each other. This time we had the Rugged Robots.
It was fun to use the different pieces of equipment (Sphero, drones, LEGO Spike, Cody Rockies etc) and to work with other pupils. It was especially lovely to see and work with some of our former pupils!
and a big thank you to our parent volunteers for transporting us to the event. Diolch.
Look what our wonderful bakers managed…! They were judged on decoration, layers and taste! Roedden nhw’n blasus iawn. Da iawn, bawb! Pob lwc to our baker in the next round!
Some of our Urdd members have been busy making an open sandwich! The judges were very impressed! Da iawn! Good luck to our chef in the next round…pob lwc!
Year 6 pupils from our cluster were invited to a day at the John Beddoes campus. We completed a Breakout activity, whilst being guided around the building by some of our previous pupils, and an art lesson. Every seemed to have a wonderful time and are already looking forward to high school.
A day to show young people they are not alone with their mental health, so we spent the day doing things that boost our well-being!
We started with our class assembly (which did give some a nervous feeling) and then parents joined us in class to sit with their child and look at what they have achieved so far this term.
Pupils then spent some time watching videos of themselves from when they were younger. After break we had a games session…UNO, Twister, Jenga, Dobble or colouring in. Quality time with friends, away from screens! Lunch was followed by paining and some games outside!
This week’s Maths has been about algebra, which can be a tricky concept to understand. Everyone is showing great perseverance with it and we have enjoyed the carousel of activities.
Emyr from Menter Iaith has been in to work with us on an exciting new project which will encourage the use of Welsh in a fun and collaborative way through a modern ‘pen-pal’.
We have set up our own ‘YouTube’ channel called The Curiosity Channel, where viewers can write in with any of their scientific questions and we will try to create an explainer video to help them understand the answer to their question. The class have worked hard to write an introductory script, created a logo and a tune for the show. They have used Abode to put all of these elements together for our first video. Since sharing the video on our channel (on Hwb) we have been asked a question about electrical circuits. Can we help?
Today we practised asking ‘What day is it?’, ‘What day was it yesterday?’ and ‘What day will it be tomorrow?’ whilst playing Pick Up Sticks!
Pa ddiwrnod yw hi heddiw? Dydd Mercher yw hi heddiw.
Pa ddiwrnod oedd hi ddoe? Dydd Llun oedd hi ddoe.
Pa ddiwrnod fydd hi yfory? Dydd Iau bydd hi yfory.
