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!

Learners in Dosbarth Miss Powell have made superb progress this term in playing the pBones and pCornets with Mrs Freeman! Diolch Mrs Freeman a da iawn pawb.

As part of our topic ‘River Journeys’, Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about different types of homes, including a narrow boat. The learners compared life on a narrow boat to living in a house and worked in groups to create fact files on these.

Bendigedig Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne, you’ve highlighted some important actions we can take to help protect our rivers! 

On our welly walk this week, Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne visited Harley Valley to see the stream. We were lucky enough to have the sunshine, so we took our drink and snack! It was a lovely morning out with some great discussions about the stream.
