Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne wanted to find out why there was a dragon on the Welsh flag and have learnt about the story of ‘The Red Dragon of Wales’. We created our own dragons using natural materials, and then thought carefully about what we could say to our dragon to make it feel like it belongs in New Radnor, exploring the language of empathy. The learners did an excellent job of using their imagination and creative skills to make their own dragons and came up with great ideas for what they could say to it.

2d Shapes
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about 2D shapes and their properties. The learners have worked hard in a range of activities to explore these, such as a 2D shape hunt outside, making shapes using a variety of materials and recording their properties, sorting shapes and exploring tangrams. The learners used great problem-solving skills.

New Radnor Art
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about Rhiannon Roberts, a Welsh artist from Cardiff, and have worked particularly hard to create some of their own artwork of New Radnor inspired by her. They all look amazing!
The learners primarily went on a welly walk around New Radnor to take photos of what they wanted to include within their artwork.

Welsh Cake Project
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been busy carrying out a mini-project on Welsh cakes in our Mathematics and Numeracy lessons. We carried out a tally in the other classes to find out which was the favourite Welsh cake flavour. We transferred this data into a graph/chart and answered some maths questions using this. We also made some posters for our stall as part of our planning time. We then made and sold our Welsh cakes to the children in the school and worked out how much profit we made, which was £18.37. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who bought some Welsh cakes from us… we hope you enjoyed them!
