Fun with algebra!!

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.

The Curiosity Channel

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?

Rhif/Numbers

Our Reception pupils have been busy counting the correct number of objects outside to match their given number. Great counting everyone. Da iawn pawb!

Australia!

Year 3 and 4 had a great morning celebrating a day of ‘Australia’. We baked some lamington cakes, made boomerangs, painted didgeridoos and created some Australia artwork. They all had a fabulous time.

Forest School!

Year 3 have thoroughly enjoyed their block of Forest School sessions. They have learnt lots of new skills and demonstrated great resilience, perseverance and confidence! Da iawn pawb!

The Rainbow Serpent

Today we read ‘The Rainbow Serpent’ which is an Aboriginal Dreamtime story. After discussing the story, we worked in groups to complete our activities. Some children decided to develop their AI skills by using Adobe to generate a illustration of the rainbow serpent; some learners listened to some didgeridoo rhythms and then looked at some images of different didgeridoos before creating their own. We also created our own dance based on the movements that the animals in the story make.
