This term dosbarth Miss Powell are reading “The Race to the Frozen North” by Catherine Johnson. We had another fantastic opportunity to meet the author and ask questions.

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been celebrating ‘Empathy Day’. The learners did a brilliant job of making their own empathy glasses to recognise empathy in various scenarios and to practise being empathetic themselves. We also listened to the story ‘My Beautiful Voice’ and discussed where empathy was shown in this. 

Last week each learner in Dosbarth Mrs Smith created their own questionnaire to ask family and friends a number of questions around volunteering. As part of our research we found out how many people volunteer and the reasons why they choose to do this. We also gathered data to find out what would encourage others to volunteer in the future.
On Friday we volunteered to do some gardening over at the Hub We discussed the difference we made in half an hour and the impact short volunteering sessions could have on a community. Da iawn pawb!
