Tinkering Time!

Dosbarth Miss Powell were introduced to the art of tinkering to explore the inner workings of a pc, using screwdrivers and old pc towers. Tinkering is the process of taking things apart and looking at how things work. Gwaith arddechog pawb!

Chinese New Year!

We have had great fun celebrating Chinese New Year this week. We have learnt a lot and was able to explore different Chinese items, including Chinese red money envelopes, a lantern and a Chinese scroll. We also made our own Chinese dragons and danced with these and tried some Chinese food

Exciting electricity!

As part of our learning, Dosbarth Miss Powell investigated conductors and insulators of electricity. There was some excellent scientific discussion on the types of materials that conduct electricity and the use of conductors and insulators in real-life contexts.

WW2 Cooking

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?
