Today we welcomed Alison & Sarah from the Presteigne Festival Project in to work with our blwyddyn 6 children! We walked into the village with Gladestry year 6’s and found a spot by the water where we used our senses to take notes about our surroundings. As a team we then gathered a word bank ready for the next step of the project.

Victorian Cooking
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!
Clwb
At clwb this week we went onto the field and made clay tree people.

Learners in Dosbarth Miss Powell explored the term “algorithm’’ today with an unplugged dance activity. We studied a dance clip to discover the algorithm…Think we have some practising to do before we are completely in sync
