Peter Thorpe Space Artwork

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about Peter Thorpe and his space artwork. The learners experimented with using different techniques and textures to see which they liked best for the background and then explored which colours they thought went well together. They carefully designed their own rocket, thinking about what colours would go best with their background. Everyone worked very hard and have created wonderful pieces of artwork! 

Madley Environmental Centre Trip

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne had a great trip to Madley Environmental Centre yesterday. The learners engaged in various space activities, such as a satellite tour, making rockets, and creating their very own aliens using natural materials. The learners also had to use their problem-solving skills and team work to create the solar system where they had to plot the planets using a given distance sheet. 

Hay Festival

Dosbarth Miss Powell had a fantastic day at the Hay Festival. We listened to the authors Yassmin Abdel-Magied, Lee Newbery and Jeff Kinney. This is a fantastic experience and we are grateful to all those who facilitate this for our learners.

Many thanks to our helpers who attended, and supported us on this event.

PC Viv

PC Viv visited Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne this week to teach the learners all about how to keep safe, such as around medicines and chemicals. The learners asked and answered some great questions! 

Pottery Trip

Dosbarth Miss Powell had a brilliant day in Builth Wells at Alex Allpress Pottery. Learners had planned a coil pot to create in the studio, and it was fantastic to observe these designs come into fruition

Ordering the Planets

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about the planets in our solar system. The learners were introduced to the mnemonic ‘My Very Excellent Mum Just Served Us Noodles’ and used this to draw and order the planets. The learners thought carefully about the size and appearance of each of the planets when drawing these with chalk outdoors.
