Yesterday we had a Victorian day where we dressed up in Victorian clothes and had the opportunity to learn about what school life was like in Victorian times. We pretended we were in a Victorian school which was very different to school life now. Even Mrs Lingard had to wear the dunces hat for talking when she shouldn’t have been! We also explored Victorian clothes and toys and made our own cup and ball toy. Lastly, we played some Victorian yard games which were great fun.
This week we have been learning about William Morris, a Victorian artist. We made some of our own artwork inspired by him from natural materials we found on our welly walk.
This afternoon, learners in Dosbarth Miss Powel and Dosbarth Mrs Curtis participated in the second session with Impelo dance. We developed an understanding of the terms, ‘unison’ and ‘canon’, as well as having lots of fun!
This week Dosbarth Mrs Curtis welcomed Lyn Bugler from Brecon Foodbank to talk to us about the roles of these vital services. We are going to tell you all about our visit at our Harvest assembly.
We will be collecting items for Llandrindod Wells Food Bank over the next couple of weeks. School Council would like to ask for a donation off the shopping list if you are able to. Diolch pawb!
Diolch yn fawr i Presteigne Fire Service crew for a brilliant afternoon. Learners had a practical and hands on learning experience with the resources that are used by the fire service.
Today we welcomed Alison & Sarah from the Presteigne Festival Project in to work with our blwyddyn 6 children! We walked into the village with Gladestry year 6’s and found a spot by the water where we used our senses to take notes about our surroundings. As a team we then gathered a word bank ready for the next step of the project.
As part of their learning of the Victorian era, Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne made Victorian bread and butter. We followed a recipe carefully and used our mathematical skills to measure out the correct ingredients. Once the bread had been cooked and the butter was ready, we then had the opportunity to eat it all up…. yum yum!
As part of Dosbarth Mrs Curtis Dwr Diddorol topic we have been studying the water cycle and investigating the question ‘Where does water begin?’
This week Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been introduced to the Victorian era. We talked about how Victorians lived and compared Victorian houses to modern-day houses. We also had the opportunity to explore a variety of real Victorian household objects and compared these to household objects from now. We worked together to sort these.
Learners in Dosbarth Miss Powell explored the term “algorithm’’ today with an unplugged dance activity. We studied a dance clip to discover the algorithm…Think we have some practising to do before we are completely in sync
