Building LEGO Rollercoasters and Programming

We had a super Science and Technology day using LEGO to build our rollercoasters.  First of all, we used the LEGO to build our track and then we tested our rollercoaster from the launcher to see if it would stay on the track. 

We then used LEGO We do to program a sensor which had a windmill attached to it.  We put our sensor next to the track and every time the rollercoaster went past the sensor, the windmill would spin.

The Welsh Whisperer\Y Sibrwd Cymraeg

The Welsh Whisperer visited Dosbarth Hwyaid Bach, Eryr and Jac-y-Do yesterday to compose a Christmas Song of our very own. We worked within our classes in the morning to compose the lyrics for the song and then all came together in the afternoon to perform the song to the rest of the school. The children agreed that our Christmas Song was a hit and we are all very proud of ourselves of how well it went!!

The Welsh Whisperer then let us party alongside him with him playing a selection of his very own songs. We loved this too, and as you can see from the photos, we all had an amazing time!!

Human rights

We’ve been very busy learning all about the human rights! To help us, we created a human rights rap and made some human rights mini displays.

RVE Cwestiwn Mawr

We looked at various Christmas related items such as the nativity scene, the bible, chocolate, a Christmas tree, a candle, a charity envelope, Santa, a star and a stocking. We had to answer ‘What matters most at Christmas time?’

“Jesus”

“because he was born on Christmas day”

“the bible because it has stories about Jesus”

“the star because it led the wise men to Bethlehem”

“the candle because Jesus is the ;light of the world”

“stockings because Santa needs to put presents in something”

“the Christmas tree because that’s where Santa leaves presents”

“the chocolate advent calendar because it is the countdown to Christmas”

“I think the charity envelope because the money you give will buy food for other people”
