Diolch! Thank you!
Thank you to all our parents who joined us this week to celebrate our Harvest Festival. We are very proud of our learners, up on stage for the first time this year…For some, the first time ever!
Huge thank you to all the donations towards the food bank. Upcoming post to detail more about that!
Dosbarth Miss Powell were challenged this morning to test the properties of paper. Learners worked in groups to set up the enquiries.
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been busy on the building site during their own planning time. The learners have made some amazing structures using their imagination, such as tunnels, bungalows, aeroplanes and cars. The learners have also shown great team work when working together to construct these. Well done Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne!
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been on a material hunt around our classroom and in our outdoor area to see where we could spot the materials we have been learning about.
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about George Seurat. To begin with, the learners practised and experimented with using pointillism before moving onto creating their own final pieces of art linked to our theme of ‘rivers’. The learners have created some amazing artwork that they would like to share with you all!
The Eco-Committee are very pleased to announce that we have recycled another 14 bags of stretchy plastics over this academic year. Thank you to everyone for your help with this. We will continue to recycle stretchy plastics within the new academic year so please keep sending these in.
Dosbarth Miss Powell are in the process of developing a magnetic game designed to entertain Inuit children. Watch this space…Lots of measuring and sawing this afternoon! Next stop.. COLOUR!

As part of our learning of floating and sinking, Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been exploring how boats float and have designed their own boat using junk materials. The learners thought carefully about which materials to use for the different features of their boat and explained their choices. They then followed their design to make their boat and tested it in the water to see if it floated or sunk. Following on from this, the learners have reflected upon their boat design using ‘Skitch’ on the iPad and have then added their improvements to re-test them, for example some learners recognised that cardboard needed to be replaced with a waterproof material as it went soggy and started to sink! Everyone did a great job throughout the mini project and there was some great thinking and reflecting going on, well done everyone!
