Over the last two weeks Dosbarth Miss Curtis have been engaging in online Kerbcraft lessons where we have learnt about pedestrian safety, cycling safety and car seat safety.

Heddiw we participated in the Jambori Cwpan Y Byd to show our support for Cymru players going to the 2022 FIFA World Cup #CymruAmByth ❤️⚽️

We went on a trip to Dan yr Ogof caves which was great fun! We explored the caves, visited the dinosaurs and went to see the Victorian farm.

This week, we have been learning about the castle in New Radnor a long time ago. We went on a walk up Castle Mound to see where this once was. We then worked in groups to create our own castles using junk and described these, using our mathematical skills to help us.

Yesterday we had a Victorian day where we dressed up in Victorian clothes and had the opportunity to learn about what school life was like in Victorian times. We pretended we were in a Victorian school which was very different to school life now. Even Mrs Lingard had to wear the dunces hat for talking when she shouldn’t have been! We also explored Victorian clothes and toys and made our own cup and ball toy. Lastly, we played some Victorian yard games which were great fun.

This week we have been learning about William Morris, a Victorian artist. We made some of our own artwork inspired by him from natural materials we found on our welly walk.

Diolch yn fawr i Presteigne Fire Service crew for a brilliant afternoon. Learners had a practical and hands on learning experience with the resources that are used by the fire service.

As part of their learning of the Victorian era, Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne made Victorian bread and butter. We followed a recipe carefully and used our mathematical skills to measure out the correct ingredients. Once the bread had been cooked and the butter was ready, we then had the opportunity to eat it all up…. yum yum!

This week Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been introduced to the Victorian era. We talked about how Victorians lived and compared Victorian houses to modern-day houses. We also had the opportunity to explore a variety of real Victorian household objects and compared these to household objects from now. We worked together to sort these.
