Today the KS2 learners participated in rownd 2 of the Cwis Dim Clem. Whilst we were not successful today, learners should be very proud to have made the top 12 out of a total of 28 schools. Gwaith wych, pawb!

We missed out on our Christmas party at the end of last year. To make up for it we had a New Years party today.

The children have played lots of party games and Father Christmas had left some presents for the children as well.

For our art lesson this week, dosbarth Mrs Curtis introduced dosbarth Miss Powell to “Draw with Rob”. We followed Rob Biddulph’s step by step video of how to draw a stegosaurus called ‘Gregosaurus’.

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis, then picked another animal to draw.

Gwaith anhygoel pawb.

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis have been using the Lego WeDo sets and app, to make Milo the Science Rover. We then added a motion sensor, that will be used to detect the presence of a corpse flower in the Indonesian rainforest.

Once our Science Rovers were built, we used the Lego WeDo app to program the rovers to stop and sound an alarm when it found the corpse flower.

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis have been working out how much carbon is absorbed by the trees in the school field.

First the children measured the circumference of a tree about 1.5m from the ground.

We then used information from ‘Just one tree’ to work out the trees dry weight value in kg.

The carbon stored in the tree is half the dry weight, after dividing the weight by two we had the amount of carbon absorbed by that tree.

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis and Dosbarth Miss Powell have been creating Indonesian rainforest animals from nature items they have found within the school grounds.

Can you guess the animals?

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis and dosbarth Miss Powell have grown vegetables over the summer and have made veggie boxes to sell, to raise money to invest in their garden area.

Each box includes carrots, parsnips and beetroots. Da iawn bawb.
