Rainforest Artwork

We have studied Rainforest artwork by artist John Dyer. We discovered that he uses bright colours to paint the Amazon Rainforest. We have painted our own rainforests in the style of John Dyer.

Home-made charcoal!

We couldnโ€™t believe how easy it was to make charcoal! We were keen to get drawing with it the next day!

Urdd Craft competition

A massive well done to the Urdd members that participated in this years craft competition. Here are their final products that were taken to the regional round ready for judging.

Welsh Forests

Today we became explorer, exploring the forests of Wales. As we forgot to pack our cameras we painted pictures of the forests!

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…..

$CoMmEntP:

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.

Homework

As part of their homework Year five and six have created castles out of recycled materials.
Da iawn.
