Dosbarth Mrs Curtis introduced dosbarth Miss Powell to team building games. The aim is to get as much water from one bucket, across the playground into another bucket, using only sponges and two drainpipes.
All groups worked well in their teams, listening to each other and sharing roles.
Da iawn bawb!
Dosbarth Mrs Curtis had a fantastic trip this week to Black Mountain Adventure. Where the children took part in canoeing and high ropes.
A great way to end the school year!
Dosbarth Mrs Curtis became health and well-being teachers this week. The class sorted themselves into small groups and each group picked a yoga position from the Welsh yoga board in the playground.
First task was to use the ipads to translate the instructions from Welsh to English.
Each group then learnt how to do their yoga position before teaching it to the rest of the class.
Dosbarth Mrs Curtis have been busy this term making their outdoor area into a wildlife haven.
They have planted flowers and vegetables, made a bug hotel, provided water for hedgehogs and other animals, put out a bee water station, collected rain water for watering their plants and started a compost bin.
The bee’s have even started using our bee box and the children enjoyed having a closer look at the larvae.
Well done to all the children for joining in with our sports day.
Some of the pupils from year 5 and 6 have taken part in their cycling proficiency today.
Congratulations to all that took part.
Dosbarth Mrs Curtis have had a great time this week with survival skills.
The class had been marooned in the desert, they set up camp, then found a oasis across the desert.
Each group had 2 drain pipes and two sponges, they needed to work out how they could get the water from the oasis back to their camp.
Over the last two weeks dosbarth Mrs Curtis have been planning and making comic books. First we made a success criteria for our comic strip, then we read a story called Alien Invasion and as a class planned each section of the story.
We then started working on our comic strips, adding pictures, speech bubbles, caption boxes and action words.
The finished comic strips look amazing!
Dosbarth Mrs Curtis have been using the new playground markings to make up playground games.
Each group had to teach the rest of the class how to play their game. The teams then voted for the game they enjoyed the most.
Dosbarth Mrs Curtis have planned and carried out an investigation to find out if the size of a parachute affects the time it takes to fall. They asked the question does a big parachute fall slower than a small one?
First we made five different size parachutes out of plastic bin bags and string.
We then took the parachutes over to the park, they were all dropped from the top of the slide, three times. We recorded the time it took them to fall and put this information into a table.
Once back in the classroom we used calculators to work out the mean time from all three results.
