Learning to Count in 5s and 2s
Learning the names of 3D shapes by making models
WILD SAVE CENTRE
This week we have finished our previous case studies to prove we are capable of the job. We have now moved on to planning our Wild Save Centre; there has been lots to think about.
In Maths we have been working with decimal numbers and in Iaith handwriting has been a big focus!
Internet Safety Day
We enjoyed our visit from PC Ainsworth, she helped us to think about being respectful online. We made some snap dragons to take home, to facilitate conversations between pupils and parents about what children use and access online.
Well-being Wednesday
Sal came and worked with us and we enjoyed a Physical Literacy session playing ‘bingo’ and having to complete a variety of exercises.
All fun and games
Wealthy Victorians enjoyed playing indoor parlour games. Magnets were often used in the making of these games. We were commissioned to find out more about Victorian games that would have been played and create our own using magnets.
Victorian Yard Games
Children in Dosbarth Gwennol have been learning to play a variety of yard games that children in Victorian times would have played. We played hopscotch, tag, follow the leader, skipping skittles. We are now busy writing instructions on how to play these games.
PC Ainsworth
On Monday, for Safer Internet Day, we were visited by PC Ainsworth who talked about how we can stay safe online.
Let there be light!
In Victorian times, electric lights started to replace candles, gas lamps and oil lamps. Joseph Swan and Thomas Edison each developed successful electric light bulbs. As a mantle of the expert task we were commissioned to build our own circuits to light a bulb!
Chinese New Year
The children created their own dragon dance to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Following Instructions!
We listened to and followed instructions carefully to make pirate hats and bird feeders.
