On Wednesday, learners were introduced to orienteering. We collaborated to develop an understanding of map orientation and to understand the use of symbols and a key. Gwaith wych, pawb!
Orienteering

5 Little Dragons
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have worked as a group to discuss possible sounds that a dragon can make and chose five of these to create a song. The learners then thought carefully about which instruments would be good to represent each of these sounds, using the instruments creatively to express their own ideas.
Welsh Dragon
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne wanted to find out why there was a dragon on the Welsh flag and have learnt about the story of ‘The Red Dragon of Wales’. We created our own dragons using natural materials, and then thought carefully about what we could say to our dragon to make it feel like it belongs in New Radnor, exploring the language of empathy. The learners did an excellent job of using their imagination and creative skills to make their own dragons and came up with great ideas for what they could say to it. Bendigedig Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne.
2d Shapes
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about 2D shapes and their properties. The learners have worked hard in a range of activities to explore these, such as a 2D shape hunt outside, making shapes using a variety of materials and recording their properties, sorting shapes and exploring tangrams. The learners used great problem-solving skills.
Let’s Connect
Dosbarth Miss Powell ended Children’s Mental Health week with team building learning experiences, to celebrate this year’s theme, ”Let’s Connect!”.
SMART Posters
These were some of the posters that learners in Dosbarth Miss Powell independently created in groups to share the SMART rules! Da iawn pawb.
Safer Internet Day
As part of Safer Internet Day on Tuesday, learners in Dosbarth Miss Powell were shocked to read how far Miss Powell’s tweet had travelled across the world! We used iPads to research how far these locations were.
Mental Health Week
Learners in Dosbarth Miss Powell enjoyed a Health and Wellbeing session with Dosbarth Mrs Smith, as part of Children’s Mental Health Week. Learners worked in groups to create a line graph to plot their emotions throughout the day.
New Radnor Art
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about Rhiannon Roberts, a Welsh artist from Cardiff, and have worked particularly hard to create some of their own artwork of New Radnor inspired by her. They all look amazing!
The learners primarily went on a welly walk around New Radnor to take photos of what they wanted to include within their artwork.
Symmetry
In our Mathematics and Numeracy lessons this week, Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about symmetry and have carried out a range of activities to develop their understanding of this. The learners have created some excellent symmetrical pictures using a variety of materials.
