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!

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. 

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.

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been busy carrying out a mini-project on Welsh cakes in our Mathematics and Numeracy lessons. We carried out a tally in the other classes to find out which was the favourite Welsh cake flavour. We transferred this data into a graph/chart and answered some maths questions using this. We also made some posters for our stall as part of our planning time. We then made and sold our Welsh cakes to the children in the school and worked out how much profit we made, which was £18.37. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who bought some Welsh cakes from us… we hope you enjoyed them! 

Dosbarth Miss Powell and Dosbarth Mrs Smith participated in the Cwis Dim Clem 2023. Da iawn to our winning team, who we will wait to hear if they have reached the next round. Pob lwc!

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have all been very excited to welcome two of our newest members of the class. Dina and Wally have joined to help the children learn about all sorts of topics related to ‘Health and Well-Being’. This week they have introduced the ‘Dina rules’ to support the children in understanding why we have rules and how we follow these. Watch this space for more posts about our time in ‘Dina School’.

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been on a number hunt on their welly walk this week. The learners worked hard to spot objects of different amounts. Bendigedig Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne!

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been busy outdoors in their phonics lessons. Some of these activities have involved the learners going on word hunts and practising to write words containing the sounds they have been learning using the chalk. Learners then worked hard to put these words into sentences.

The Eco-Committee have been busy sorting the bottle top lids that have been collected into different coloured groups ready to start their art project soon. Thank you to everyone who has kindly recycled these! Watch this space for future updates!

The Eco-Committee shared some great news with the school today. After everyone’s hard work over the last academic year, we have been awarded our ‘Eco-Schools Platinum+ Award’ which is a great achievement by all, so a big well done everyone. We would like to also say thank you to our parents and the community for supporting us with this along the way.
