Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about capacity in our Mathematics and Numeracy lessons this week and have carried out a range of activities to explore this.
Capacity

Sinfonia Cymru
We had a fantastic afternoon at the Hub to watch Sinfonia Cymru perform. Learners were inspired by the talented musicians and had the opportunity to explore body percussion, ask questions and some even adopted the role as “conductor”. Diolch yn fawr iawn!
Bronze Ambassadors
On Friday our Bronze Ambassadors had an excellent session with Maggie Trainor and learnt lots of new activities they could use with our Health & Wellbeing session. They worked hard with Maggie to be confident to give clear instructions and run the session. They have then used these skills they learnt to carry out a team building activity along with Dosbarth Miss Powell. Da iawn Bronze Ambassadors.
Coronation Tea Party
DIOLCH YN FAWR
A huge thank you to all those who joined us this afternoon, and for those who baked cakes for our ”Coronation Tea Party”. Da iawn to all the learners who have worked hard this week in the build up. A special shout out to the Criw Cymraeg for serving the cakes, and supporting parents to use their Welsh language skills!
Team Building
Dosbarth Miss Powell finished the week in the glorious sunshine. We developed our team building skills in Health and Wellbeing. Gwaith wych pawb.
Rivers
To develop our understanding of rivers, we used our bodies to make a river and worked as a group to tell its journey. We started with the source up high and ended in the sea. Along the way we used words such as stream, river, meander, current, tributary and mouth. Bendigedig Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne!
Dragon Bags
The Eco-Committee are very pleased to announce that we have successfully collected a total of 64 ‘Dragon Bags’ to be recycled. We would like to say a big thank you for supporting us with this! We will update you when we know how much money we have raised for the school.
Lighter and Heavier
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about weight in their Mathematics and Numeracy lessons this week. The learners have explored ‘lighter’ and ‘heavier’, and some have learnt to measure weight using non-standard units and estimate with weight. We have learnt that not all larger objects are heavier than some smaller objects.
Clwb
At After School Club this week, the learners took the opportunity to enjoy the dry weather by working in teams to make their own dens outdoors. We had some wonderful creations and great team work. Bendigedig pawb!
River Journeys
As part of our topic ‘River Journeys’, Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about what a river is and how they are formed. The learners worked together to make their own river in the sandpit and talked about why rivers meander.
