Diolch yn fawr i Presteigne Fire Service crew for a brilliant afternoon. Learners had a practical and hands on learning experience with the resources that are used by the fire service.

Today we welcomed Alison & Sarah from the Presteigne Festival Project in to work with our blwyddyn 6 children! We walked into the village with Gladestry year 6’s and found a spot by the water where we used our senses to take notes about our surroundings. As a team we then gathered a word bank ready for the next step of the project.

As part of their learning of the Victorian era, Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne made Victorian bread and butter. We followed a recipe carefully and used our mathematical skills to measure out the correct ingredients. Once the bread had been cooked and the butter was ready, we then had the opportunity to eat it all up…. yum yum!

As part of Dosbarth Mrs Curtis Dwr Diddorol topic we have been studying the water cycle and investigating the question ‘Where does water begin?’

This week Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been introduced to the Victorian era. We talked about how Victorians lived and compared Victorian houses to modern-day houses. We also had the opportunity to explore a variety of real Victorian household objects and compared these to household objects from now. We worked together to sort these.

Learners in Dosbarth Miss Powell explored the term “algorithm’’ today with an unplugged dance activity. We studied a dance clip to discover the algorithm…Think we have some practising to do before we are completely in sync

A big thank you to all those who supported our Macmillan Coffee Afternoon. We are pleased to announce that we raised a total of £260.72. Thank you to the School Council for organising and delivering such a successful event.

A fun (and quite messy) gardening session with learners from Dosbarth Miss Powell and Dosbarth Mrs Curtis on Thursday.
