We have been busy celebrating and raising money for Children In Need today. Year 6 started the school by delivering a whole-school assembly about Children In Need. We then spent the afternoon completing challenges…hula hooping, the plank, throwing balls, press-ups…all for 25 seconds with a bit of competition between friends. We also learned the Strictly dance. Everyone was so willing to give it all a go. Da iawn, bawb!
We are beginning work on our products for the Christmas Fayre; we have selected products, materials and worked on the costings using Excel and used formulas. It took a few attempts to get the formulas working but we persevered! Our very lovely Miss Bunn has been helping us. But what are we making…?
As part of Children in Need day our focus was on ‘challenge’. We completed various challenges such as physical, strictly 25 step cha cha cha, and baking cupcakes without any adult help! Bendigedig pawb!
We are looking forward to our Children in Need challenges this afternoon.
Aderyn Du have carried out some air resistance science investigations as part of our Mantle work. We tested how far a piece of paper travels depending on the different shape. We discussed the different variables that affect how far it can travel. We also investigated how fast different items drop from a certain height. We found out that items that are streamline and heavier fall faster.
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 we learned about Remembrance Day. We enjoyed potato printing poppies.
Children engaged in a creative project to commemorate Remembrance Day by producing beautiful poppy-themed artwork. Using a variety of materials and techniques they produces some beautiful pieces of work. Da iawn!
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.
