Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been making the most of this wonderful sunshine with phonics outside and have been working hard to write the sounds they have been learning.  

Dosbarth Miss Powell and Dosbarth Mrs Smith had a fantastic day at the Hay Festival. We went to talks from Dr Ranj, Bear Grylls and Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock.

Thank you to Mrs Dinsdale who applied for a transport grant that enabled this trip to be FREE for all learners!

As part of our topic ‘River Journeys’, Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about different types of homes, including a narrow boat. The learners compared life on a narrow boat to living in a house and worked in groups to create fact files on these.  

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about why rivers are important and what we can do to protect them. The learners worked in groups to create posters on how to help save our rivers to share in an assembly with the rest of the school. Bendigedig Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne, you’ve highlighted some important actions we can take to help protect our rivers! 

On our welly walk this week, Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne visited Harley Valley to see the stream. We were lucky enough to have the sunshine, so we took our drink and snack! It was a lovely morning out with some great discussions about the stream. 

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about capacity in our Mathematics and Numeracy lessons this week and have carried out a range of activities to explore this. 

We had a fantastic afternoon at the Hub to watch Sinfonia Cymru perform. Learners were inspired by the talented musicians and had the opportunity to explore body percussion, ask questions and some even adopted the role as “conductor”. Diolch yn fawr iawn!

On Friday our Bronze Ambassadors had an excellent session with Maggie Trainor and learnt lots of new activities they could use with our Health & Wellbeing session. They worked hard with Maggie to be confident to give clear instructions and run the session. They have then used these skills they learnt to carry out a team building activity along with Dosbarth Miss Powell. Da iawn Bronze Ambassadors.

DIOLCH YN FAWR

A huge thank you to all those who joined us this afternoon, and for those who baked cakes for our ”Coronation Tea Party”. Da iawn to all the learners who have worked hard this week in the build up. A special shout out to the Criw Cymraeg for serving the cakes, and supporting parents to use their Welsh language skills!

Dosbarth Miss Powell finished the week in the glorious sunshine. We developed our team building skills in Health and Wellbeing. Gwaith wych pawb.
