Dosbarth Mrs Curtis have been working out how much carbon is absorbed by the trees in the school field.
First the children measured the circumference of a tree about 1.5m from the ground.
We then used information from ‘Just one tree’ to work out the trees dry weight value in kg.
The carbon stored in the tree is half the dry weight, after dividing the weight by two we had the amount of carbon absorbed by that tree.
We have been learning about coding this week. Some of the children have been programming the Bee-Bot and others have used a variety of resources. We had so much fun.
We had to give Miss Burgoyne instructions to make a jam sandwich. It was quite a buttery mess!
This week we have been learning about muscles and how our body moves. Some of us researched facts about muscles, using non fiction books and the internet to create a spider diagram, and some of us went outside to explore our muscles by doing a variety of exercises.
Following our work last week, Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have typed up facts about our local area and created a class display of all of our work.
Thank you to everyone that bought vegetable boxes from dosbarth Mrs Curtis and dosbarth Miss Powell. The children enjoyed pulling up all the vegetables and seeing how big they had grown.
The money from the sale of the boxes is going to be used to buy bulbs and other gardening items.
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning all about their local area. The children located different places in New Radnor on Google maps and then went on a Welly Walk to explore the local area.
The children then worked in groups to recreate the local area using junk. They used the photos that they took on the welly walk to help them.
The children made models of the School, Church, 2 houses and Sharon’s Shop!
Dosbarth Mrs Curtis and Dosbarth Miss Powell have been creating Indonesian rainforest animals from nature items they have found within the school grounds.
Can you guess the animals?
This week in Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne’s class the children looked for colours in Smatcher wood with Mrs Dinsdale. Before the children left they predicted how many colours from their colour wheel they would see. The children thought they would find between 2 and 6 colours. They were surprised to find there was actually 9 different colours in leaves, berries, flowers and toadstools!
Dosbarth Mrs Curtis and dosbarth Miss Powell have grown vegetables over the summer and have made veggie boxes to sell, to raise money to invest in their garden area.
Each box includes carrots, parsnips and beetroots. Da iawn bawb.
We have been learning our phonics this week in Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne. The children have enjoyed engaging in a variety of different methods to practice this.
