We had a super Science and Technology day using LEGO to build our rollercoasters. First of all, we used the LEGO to build our track and then we tested our rollercoaster from the launcher to see if it would stay on the track.
We then used LEGO We do to program a sensor which had a windmill attached to it. We put our sensor next to the track and every time the rollercoaster went past the sensor, the windmill would spin.
Thank you to all the wonderful ladies in the kitchen for cooking our delicious Christmas lunch today and to all that decorated the hall and helped us in the dinner hall. Diolch!
This afternoon we had some Christmas fun playing Charades and pictionary. We didn’t get a photo of musical statues or everyone enjoying a Popdot (mini doughnut cake) kindly donated by Co-op…! The children finished the day off by playing games, colouring and building models.
We are having a lovely Christmas Party Day! We have danced our shoes off this morning, played musical statues and musical bumps, played pass the parcel and had some treats. When we got back to class, we had a very friendly visitor there… it was FATHER CHRISTMAS!!
Congratulations to our Welsh badge winners last week. You have been using lots of incidental Welsh inside and outside of the classroom. Bendigedig pawb!!
’Diolch’ to Larry who came in on Monday to do some baking with some Year 6 pupils. The cakes were gluten-free, and dairy-free or vegan. They had to do some problem-solving when they realised an ingredient was missing but handled the situation very well! The cakes have been very much enjoyed, particularly the apple loaf cake!
Year 6 studied a scene depicting a very busy every-day scene. They had to look for rights being enjoyed, being requested and being denied. We later looked through all of the human rights and had to choose some to diamond rank. Our concluding thoughts were that the type of life someone has lived will affect which human rights they consider to be the most important. They also queried whether soldiers were free… .
The Welsh Whisperer visited Dosbarth Hwyaid Bach, Eryr and Jac-y-Do yesterday to compose a Christmas Song of our very own. We worked within our classes in the morning to compose the lyrics for the song and then all came together in the afternoon to perform the song to the rest of the school. The children agreed that our Christmas Song was a hit and we are all very proud of ourselves of how well it went!!
The Welsh Whisperer then let us party alongside him with him playing a selection of his very own songs. We loved this too, and as you can see from the photos, we all had an amazing time!!
We have been busy bees learning about the importance of a Christingle and then made our very own.
