Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about Chinese New Year. We read the Chinese New Year Story and carried out some maths around this to develop our understanding of ordinal numbers and number words. We also explored some Chinese items and created some Chinese dragon craft.
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about money in their Mathematics and Numeracy lessons this week. Some of us have been on a coin hunt outside, others have been using money within the shop, as well as carrying out many other activities involving money.
What a fabulous, fun filled day it was here at Radnor Valley on Tuesday. Here are some photographs of learners from Dosbarth Miss Powell and Dosbarth Mrs Smith enjoying the day.
Today Dosbarth Miss Powell explored the question, ”How do boats float?”. We had a lot of fun designing, creating and reflecting as we explored the forces buoyancy and gravity.
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have all been very excited today when opening their Christmas letters they have received back from Santa. Not long to go now…. ho ho ho!
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about the Christmas Story and have worked hard to sequence this to create Christmas Story crowns.
As part of our learning on dinosaurs, Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been busy making their own fossils, dinosaur bones and taking role as a palaeontologist. We have also been learning about Mary Anning and worked in groups to create some great fact sheets on her through our research.
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have moved onto learning about dinosaurs as part of our topic and have had great fun using our imagination and creative skills outdoors. Using natural materials we found on our welly walk and some we already had in class, we created our very own dinosaurs. All dinosaurs looked different and were super! We then used these to develop our descriptive writing where the learners came up with some excellent descriptions of their dinosaurs.
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about forces and have carried out a range of experiments to explore these. The learners made predictions in which they then reflected upon after carrying out the experiments. There was some great thinking going on. Bendigedig Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne!
Dosbarth Miss Powell had a brilliant morning yesterday. As our class text, we are reading ”The River Singers” by Tom Moorhouse. Yesterday, we had the opportunity to ask the author questions that we had.
He left us with some great advice for our future careers,
”Do what you love!”.
