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.
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.
On Monday, for Safer Internet Day, we were visited by PC Ainsworth who talked about how we can stay safe online.
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!
The children created their own dragon dance to celebrate Chinese New Year.
We listened to and followed instructions carefully to make pirate hats and bird feeders.
The children have enjoyed following instructions carefully to make their own bird feeders.
We have been following instructions to make pirate hats and bird feeders. The bird feeders are now outside in the Quad for the birds to enjoy. We are going to use our good looking eyes to watch the birds enjoy their food.
We’ve been learning about how to write in other languages and then looked at the artwork from those countries. We used a range of media to create a piece of art which incorporates a word written in the language to match the art style.
We helped an alien to navigate online games safely and happy. We recorded our online safety learning in our books. Many of us have learnt a lot about how to be safe online.
