Muscles
This week, Dosbarth Un moved onto learning about muscles! Our younger learners got hands-on by using their muscles to perform different exercises. They had great fun discussing which muscles were involved in each activity and how their bodies responded. Meanwhile, others took on the challenge of researching muscle facts and created some great group posters to share.
The Magical Christmas Jigsaw!
Skeleton
Dosbarth Un have been busy learning about the skeleton. This week the learners have been on a welly walk to collect natural materials and then used these to make a skeleton and labelled some of its bones. The learners thought carefully about the size and shape of the sticks they needed for the different types of bones.
Sense of Taste
Pentre Farm Visit
This week, Dosbarth Un enjoyed a special visit from Pentre Farm. Learners had the opportunity to meet a variety of animals and discover interesting facts about them, including their diets and habitats. A huge thank you to Sam for providing such a valuable and enjoyable experience. We truly appreciate it!
Sense of Touch
Reception to Year 2 have moved onto learning about their sense of touch and have carried out an experiment where they used it to explore and describe different textures. The learners thought of some great adjectives, such as crunchy and crispy for the snow, and sticky and squidgy for the jelly. Bendigedig pawb!
Exploring Sense of Smell
Sound Hunt
This week, Reception to Year 2 have been learning about their senses and the importance of these, beginning with a focus on hearing. The learners went on a sound hunt around the school grounds, working in groups to record their journey with drawings and labels. Today, they ventured further afield on a welly walk to Harley Valley, identifying a variety of sounds along the way, such as leaves rustling, dogs barking, water babbling in the stream, mud squelching, and stones splashing. Next, the learners will collaborate in groups to create a composition of their welly walk journey, choosing their own resources to represent each sound they have chosen, and perform it to the class.
