This morning, Dosbarth Miss Powell and Dosbarth Mrs Curtis went on a Welly Walk to view our local area, focusing on the local caravan park. We have started our Theme Park Thrills learning journey here, as part of our cynefin (belonging).
Our Criw Cymraeg leaders led our Health and Wellbeing warm up this afternoon, yn Gymraeg. Gwaith wych pawb!
Dosbarth Mrs Curtis had an early start on Thursday morning travelling in style, on a VIP bus to Swansea. First stop was the Dylan Thomas theatre to see the play, ‘Arandora Star’. Where we learnt all about Welsh/Italians living in south Wales during WW2 and how they were treated during this time. This was followed by a question and answer session with the cast.
After lunch we had a quick walk around the waterfront, before going to the Waterfront Museum to take part in a WW2 workshop.
We had a brilliant afternoon practising our skills, in our first tennis session! We were introduced to the ABC’s… Agility, balance and coordination.
Dosbarth Miss Powell and dosbarth Mrs Curtis went on a welly walk during their Health and Well-being session this week. We all enjoyed being able to get out and explore our local area.
This week in Health and Wellbeing, learners collaborated to devise a 10 minute warm up suitable for our Hockey session. The learners had to plan pulse raising and game specific activities and include relevant stretches.
Today the KS2 learners participated in rownd 2 of the Cwis Dim Clem. Whilst we were not successful today, learners should be very proud to have made the top 12 out of a total of 28 schools. Gwaith wych, pawb!
Dosbarth Mrs Curtis and dosbarth Miss Powell are investigating how recipes had to be re-invented during World War 2, due to food shortages and rationing. Both classes discussed what types of food you could grow in your garden that could be added to cakes, instead of other hard to get ingredients. We decided that if you could put carrots in a cake, then maybe you could use other vegetables too.
This week we have made beetroot chocolate cake.
We were all a bit put off by the thought of beetroot in cakes. However once we tasted them, we discovered they were delicious!
We have all made a WW2 recipe book that we will add a new recipe to each week.
I wonder what next weeks recipe will be?
We missed out on our Christmas party at the end of last year. To make up for it we had a New Years party today.
The children have played lots of party games and Father Christmas had left some presents for the children as well.
