Dosbarth Mrs Curtis have received a special award in the post for their Marble STEM Competition from last term.

Last week Dosbarth Mrs Curtis joined forces with Gladestry Church in Wales School and took part in the Royal Academy of Engineering Collaborative Project 2022. Each group worked on a design for their own inventive marble run. We were so proud of how well the both schools worked together and finished their challenge in the time given. On Friday afternoon we joined in the live presentation and were awarded the Collaboration Award and have won a 3D printer for school. Da iawn pawb!!!

What an awesome day! Of course Dosbarth Mrs Curtis and Dosbarth Miss Powell had to visit a theme park, as part of our ‘Theme Park Thrills’ learning theme. It was brilliant to observe the science in real life, and have lots of fun! Da iawn pawb!

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis and Dosbarth Miss Powell have applied their understanding of how rollercoasters operate to begin creating their very own rollercoaster. Lots of fantastic discussions, explanations and teamwork.

Diolch yn fawr i Kate Matthews-Jones for the foam tube insulation.

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis have worked on our team building skills around the log circle by taking it in turns and including every member of the team.

We have also been very busy planting our carrots, parsnips and beetroot. Diolch yn fawr to Lisa Powell for the carrots.

The learners listened to instructions from each other and worked together as a team!

Dosbarth Miss Powell and Dosbarth Mrs Curtis had a great outdoor practical science experiment today, testing the effects of centripetal force. Some nervous faces, as the learners hoped to not have a splash

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis a Dosbarth Miss Powell have been busy this week getting the garden ready for planting vegetables. The children worked in teams to clear the beds. They pulled up dead flowers, (being careful of the bulbs so we can replant next year) and removed all the weeds.

We will be planting our vegetables very soon!

Blwyddyn 5 a 6 had a fantastic three days on residential at Tregoyd House. We had the opportunity to take part in Abseiling, Fencing, Sensory Trail, Aeroball, Raft building, Zip Wire and Archery. Followed by evening entertainment; marshmallows and songs around the campfire and hide and seek.

Last year Dosbarth Mrs Curtis and Dosbarth Miss Powell planted wildflowers, the children then collected the seeds from these flowers. This morning we have planted the seeds in our pots, we are excited to see the flowers grow and attract insects.
