Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been out making the most of the glorious weather on our welly. This week we have linked it to our learning in our Mathematics and Numeracy lessons and went on an odd and even number hunt around the village. 

Dosbarth Miss Powell and Dosbarth Mrs Smith planted beetroot, carrot and lettuce seeds this afternoon.

This morning we welcomed Laura into Dosbarth Mrs Smith to talk about her business as part of our topic. The learners asked some very good questions and listened carefully to the responses. She spoke about the reasons behind setting up Laura Jane fitness and the importance of doing something you love. We then had a very fun Konga session where all learners participated with enthusiasm and we even managed to get some of the staff involved

In Health and Wellbeing this afternoon, Dosbarth Miss Powell and Dosbarth Mrs Smith participated in den building and gardening. Next week we will plant some vegetables to harvest in the Autumn.. Watch this space!!

Dosbarth Miss Powell and Dosbarth Mrs Smith celebrated Empathy Day this week with a range of experiences including live sessions, emotion maps and a #DrawWithRob.

As part of our shape topic in Maths and numeracy this term, we have been focusing on angles. This week we made the most out of our outdoor space and observed the different types of angles all around us. We then moved on to calculating missing angles within triangles.

This term dosbarth Miss Powell are reading “The Race to the Frozen North” by Catherine Johnson. We had another fantastic opportunity to meet the author and ask questions.

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been celebrating ‘Empathy Day’. The learners did a brilliant job of making their own empathy glasses to recognise empathy in various scenarios and to practise being empathetic themselves. We also listened to the story ‘My Beautiful Voice’ and discussed where empathy was shown in this. 

Last week each learner in Dosbarth Mrs Smith created their own questionnaire to ask family and friends a number of questions around volunteering. As part of our research we found out how many people volunteer and the reasons why they choose to do this. We also gathered data to find out what would encourage others to volunteer in the future.
On Friday we volunteered to do some gardening over at the Hub We discussed the difference we made in half an hour and the impact short volunteering sessions could have on a community. Da iawn pawb!
