In maths this week in Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been developing our counting skills. We have been finding amounts, using a bead string to count on and we have also explored estimating using different objects.

In music today we explored the different sounds we can make using the drums!

We have been developing our coding skills using the Bee-Bots and Spheros.

We have had some class caterpillars growing and have been able to learn about the life cycle of a butterfly. It has been really interesting!

On our welly walk today we visited Esco’s to find out about the local food they sell to support out learning of growing in the local area.

We have been learning about planting and growing in the local area and went on a welly walk around some of the gardens of New Radnor with the kind invitation of the garden owners. It was interesting to see what each garden had to offer.

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne had the opportunity to harvest some of the crops we have been growing in our class garden. We washed the lettuce and then made some tasty salad sandwiches to eat… yum yum!

We went to Severn Valley Country Park, first we had a look at the map. Then we went to the meadow to try and catch mini beasts with nets. Then we went to the woods and pulled apart the log piles to look for mini beasts.

We had lunch then went to the pond and tried to catch fish and mini beasts. My favourite bit was pond dipping.

We have been very lucky to have Heather in today telling us all about her job role as a beekeeper and answering lots of our questions about bees and honey. We even got to taste some honey from Heather’s bees…. yum yum!
