St Dwynwen’s Day

Dosbarth Un had a lovely time celebrating St Dwynwen’s Day last week. We read the story of St Dwynwen and discussed why St Dwynwen’s day is celebrated in Wales. We made delicious heart biscuits to share together and decorated some hearts to create a school display.

Muscles

This week, Dosbarth Un moved onto learning about muscles! Our younger learners got hands-on by using their muscles to perform different exercises. They had great fun discussing which muscles were involved in each activity and how their bodies responded. Meanwhile, others took on the challenge of researching muscle facts and created some great group posters to share. 

Skeleton

Dosbarth Un have been busy learning about the skeleton. This week the learners have been on a welly walk to collect natural materials and then used these to make a skeleton and labelled some of its bones. The learners thought carefully about the size and shape of the sticks they needed for the different types of bones. 

Sense of Taste

This week, Dosbarth Un explored their sense of taste and took part in an experiment where they described the different flavours they experienced, such as sour, sweet, and salty. The learners were fantastic at thinking of adjectives and guessing what the foods were. 

Pentre Farm Visit

This week, Dosbarth Un enjoyed a special visit from Pentre Farm. Learners had the opportunity to meet a variety of animals and discover interesting facts about them, including their diets and habitats. A huge thank you to Sam for providing such a valuable and enjoyable experience. We truly appreciate it!

Sense of Touch

Reception to Year 2 have moved onto learning about their sense of touch and have carried out an experiment where they used it to explore and describe different textures. The learners thought of some great adjectives, such as crunchy and crispy for the snow, and sticky and squidgy for the jelly. Bendigedig pawb!

Exploring Sense of Smell

This week, Reception to Year 2 have explored the sense of smell and carried out an experiment where they guessed the contents of jars based on their scents and described what they could smell. Some scents were particularly strong like the vinegar and mint sauce which made lots of noses twitch!
