Enillwyr Tocynnau Cymraeg
The Welsh Whisperer\Y Sibrwd Cymraeg
The Welsh Whisperer visited Dosbarth Hwyaid Bach, Eryr and Jac-y-Do yesterday to compose a Christmas Song of our very own. We worked within our classes in the morning to compose the lyrics for the song and then all came together in the afternoon to perform the song to the rest of the school. The children agreed that our Christmas Song was a hit and we are all very proud of ourselves of how well it went!!
The Welsh Whisperer then let us party alongside him with him playing a selection of his very own songs. We loved this too, and as you can see from the photos, we all had an amazing time!!
Christingle Creating
We have been busy bees learning about the importance of a Christingle and then made our very own.
Human Rights Day - Article 2
Article 2 – All children have these rights, no matter who they are or what they look like.
We listened to the story ‘It’s ok to be different’, and discussed why it is ok to be different. Here are some of the children’s contributions;
“We have different colour skin and that is ok.”
“You might want to speak in a different language.”
“It doesn’t matter where you live. You can live in different places and still be friends.”
“My mummy has curly hair and I don’t, and that is ok.”
“Teasing is not kind, because children will feel sad if you tease them.”
“My mummy is different to me because she has dark hair and I have light hair.”
After our discussion, we played a game of ‘switch places if you ……’ where the children swapped places with another child if they answered yes to the question/statement.
Christmas Fayre Preparation

Pyjama Drama
Louise from Pyjama Drama visited us on Friday to enhance our drama skills using the story of Pinocchio. We used our superb imaginations to retell a different ending to the Pinocchio story. We had lots of fun and used our team building skills well. Da iawn pawb!
The importance of handwashing by the School Nurse
We had Sara, the school nurse join us this afternoon to teach us the importance of washing our hands. We learned a song and tested our hands under a special light to see if we had any germs on them. After this, we used the song we had learned from Sara to wash our hands properly and tested them again under the special light. We were all amazed at how well we washed our hands as most of the germs had disappeared.
We Will Remember - Remembrance Day
In November, we Remember!
We made our very own Poppy display by using finger painting.
Chrome Music Lab
We used our digital skills to create our very own music on the iPads. We were all very good at this and loved exploring on the Chrome Music Lab.
