Today we became explorer, exploring the forests of Wales. As we forgot to pack our cameras we painted pictures of the forests!
Welsh Forests
Elliott the lamb visited us
On Tuesday we were lucky enough to be visited by Hudson’s mum and their lamb. We thought of lots of interesting questions including why Elliott was wearing a nappy.
The story of Matthew
We looked at the Bible and we discussed the old testament and the new testament. The first book in the New Testament is the Gospel of Matthew. It is named after one of Jesus’ 12 disciples. We discussed the story of Matthew that is found in Matthew 9.9-13.
We found out that when Jesus was on Earth, he often spent time with people who were disliked or unpopular with others. Jesus believed that everyone should be allowed a chance for their lives to be changed so that they could have a fresh start. We discussed when we have been given a second chance and we we have given others second chances
Visiting Ffrydd Wood/Ymweld a Choed y Ffrydd
As we are unable to visit a rainforest, we walked to Ffrydd wood in Knighton. We discussed the features of the wood and made comparisons between that and the rainforest.
Walk to Ffryd Woods
We really enjoyed our walk to Ffryd Woods. We looked at all of the different trees and plants and talked about the animals that might live in the woods.
Help!
Supertato we need your help.
The children found a crime scene in the classroom. They were super investigators as they tried to solve the crime.
Welsh Yard Games with Gruff
In this game, we were using the welsh vocabulary of body parts. The game was lots of fun!
Pasg Hapus/Happy Easter
Don’t we look amazing in our Easter bonnets? We loved parading around the school for the older children to see our wonderful creations.
Pasg Hapus!
Children in Dosbarth Gwennol had a lovely day last day of term. They all came to school in their beautiful Easter bonnets and took part in a parade around the school. The parade ended in the Children’s Centre where Donna treated us to a story and Lee had the tough decision of judging the bonnets.
Well done to all of the children for their wonderful bonnets, they all made a superb effort. The overall winner was Lacey!
After the parade the children went on an egg hunt and collected some chocolatey treats!
I hope you all have a lovely Easter break.
Space!
The children have been discussing their Mantle of the Expert theme for the Summer Term which is Exploration with a focus on Space Exploration. When they returned from playtime they were greeted with an unusual sight…..
The children listened to part of the story ‘Whatever Next’ which is about a little bear going on a space journey. One of the children volunteered to go up into space. Upon their return, we hot seated them asking them lots of questions about their trip to space. We recorded some of the things that we wanted to find out about space on our mind maps in our Mantle groups.
