This afternoon was a wonderful afternoon of fun, sport and ice cream! The children had a great time and it was so nice to see their sportsmanship shining through! Well done to everyone…….and Mrs Blower for winning the teacher’s race!
Hotseating-A Beautiful Butterfly
This week we have been using our drama skills to take on the role of the butterfly from ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar.’ The children thought of great questions to ask the butterfly and when in role as the butterfly, answered as that character. They did an amazing job!
Scavenger Hunt! Outdoor Learning
Today we went onto the field for a scavenger hunt! Mrs Blower gave us a list of things we needed to find. Some things were easier to find than others!
Releasing the Butterflies!
Today we let our five beautiful butterflies go on the school field. They were a little nervous to begin with but once they got used to being outside they soon flew away!
Ysgrifennu Cymraeg! Welsh Writing!
This term we are learning about minibeasts in Welsh. We have written dialogues in Welsh, between two minibeasts, using our understanding of personal details.
Bug Hotels
We have been learning about the habitats of different minibeasts and finding out where different minibeasts like to live. We then went out onto the field and made bug hotels using boxes, tubes and natural materials.
Butterfly Life-Cycle Dances
We have enjoyed the story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar and have been learning how caterpillars change into butterflies. We created dances to show the life-cycle at each stage.
St. David's Day
On Monday 1st March we celebrated St. David’s Day. We dressed in national colours and costumes and we enjoyed a range of activities.
We played yard games outside, such as ‘cath, cath, ci’ and ‘Mae Siemon yn dweud’
We made St David’s Day cards to send to members of our family.
We completed activities on Hwb and some mindfulness activities relating to St. David’s Day.
World Book Day!
Dosbarth Eryr and Dosbarth Gwennol have enjoyed celebrating World Book Day by reading the story ‘we’re going on a bear hunt’ by Michael Rossen.
After we read the story, we all went on a bear hunt on the field.
We then thought carefully about the equipment that we would need if we were to go on a bear hunt again. We chose 5 items and we listed them.
We made a story map to help us retell the story. We collected natural materials to help us make our story map.
