Dosbarth Miss Powell have worked so hard to produce brilliant river themed poems based on ‘The River’ by Valerie Bloom. A superb use of metaphors, alliteration and rhyme! We then applied our watercolour techniques and created a river scene. Gwaith anhygoel pawb

This week Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been writing their Christmas letters to Santa. We then posted these on our welly walk which the learners were very excited about!

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been busy baking and decorating some Christmas biscuits this week, as well as creating other Christmas crafts to sell at our Christmas Fair on Friday. The biscuits smell delicious… don’t forget to come along if you can!

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been busy making blackberry jam.. yum yum! We went on a welly walk to pick the blackberries and then froze these. Last week we worked together to make our jam using our mathematical skills to carefully measure out our ingredients, and our literacy skills to follow the recipe. This week we tasted it on some bread and it was delicious! We linked this to our Stone Age theme by discussing how berries were part of the Stone Age diet. 

Blwddyn 4 went on a ‘Spider Hunt’ to practise the 8 times tables today. Learners were very disappointed to discover that the spiders were not real!

This afternoon we had our third music session with Mr Burrows in Dosbarth Mrs Smith. We have been studying music symbols and looking at graphic notation. Today all learners created their own sound and put these together with the rest of their group. We are looking forward to hearing their performances next week

This afternoon, Dosbarth Miss Powell explored the scientific perspective on ‘How did the world begin?’ We made balloon models to explore the Big Bang Theory. There were lots of fantastic questions posed by learners.

This morning, Blwyddyn 3 were tasked to use sticks to learn the 4 times tables. Bendigedig!

Dosbarth Mrs Smith had a very busy day on Friday. In the morning we worked with Sarah from Presteigne Festival Project to come up with ideas for the music for our song we produced back last half term. We then finished off the morning with a Children in Need quiz. This afternoon we spoke about the things we’re thankful for and then ended our day with our Impelo dance session.

Dosbarth Miss Powell and Dosbarth Mrs Smith had a brilliant morning last week with Welsh Water. Learners used problem solving skills and were tasked to transport water for the facilities within the town. Gwaith wych pawb!
