Dosbarth Un have been busy learning about the skeleton. This week the learners have been on a welly walk to collect natural materials and then used these to make a skeleton and labelled some of its bones. The learners thought carefully about the size and shape of the sticks they needed for the different types of bones.
The Eco-Committee have been busy weighing and parcelling up the pens ready for a collection. We are pleased to announce that we have collected 23.36kg to send off to be recycled. From this, we will earn charity points to donate to our chosen charity ‘BBC Children in Need’! We would like to thank everyone for supporting us with this; please continue to bring in any used writing instruments and spread the word that we are a public drop off point for these.
Check out our new binoculars for our Forest School area! The Eco-Committee have purchased these with some of the money raised from our second-hand clothing sale. The learners are looking forward to using them!
Together, we’ve made a difference! We raised an incredible £103.75 for Children in Need! Thank you to everyone who contributed and supported this amazing cause. A special thanks to our School Council for organising this.
This week, Dosbarth Un explored their sense of taste and took part in an experiment where they described the different flavours they experienced, such as sour, sweet, and salty. The learners were fantastic at thinking of adjectives and guessing what the foods were.
This week, Dosbarth Un enjoyed a special visit from Pentre Farm. Learners had the opportunity to meet a variety of animals and discover interesting facts about them, including their diets and habitats. A huge thank you to Sam for providing such a valuable and enjoyable experience. We truly appreciate it!
Reception to Year 2 have moved onto learning about their sense of touch and have carried out an experiment where they used it to explore and describe different textures. The learners thought of some great adjectives, such as crunchy and crispy for the snow, and sticky and squidgy for the jelly. Bendigedig pawb!
This week, Reception to Year 2 have explored the sense of smell and carried out an experiment where they guessed the contents of jars based on their scents and described what they could smell. Some scents were particularly strong like the vinegar and mint sauce which made lots of noses twitch!
This week, Reception to Year 2 have been learning about their senses and the importance of these, beginning with a focus on hearing. The learners went on a sound hunt around the school grounds, working in groups to record their journey with drawings and labels. Today, they ventured further afield on a welly walk to Harley Valley, identifying a variety of sounds along the way, such as leaves rustling, dogs barking, water babbling in the stream, mud squelching, and stones splashing. Next, the learners will collaborate in groups to create a composition of their welly walk journey, choosing their own resources to represent each sound they have chosen, and perform it to the class.
Reception to Year 2 learners had a fantastic experience with ‘Corner Exotics’ today! Simon introduced a range of fascinating animals, giving the learners a chance to learn about and even hold them. He shared lots of interesting facts, and the learners showed great care and bravery handling the animals. It was an enjoyable afternoon for everyone!
