A lovely afternoon in the sunshine exploring our natural world and talking about the interesting things that we found.
Our Natural World
Forest School
The children worked really hard today in their forest school session; they worked as a team to collect everything that they needed to build our fire and they enjoyed a ‘healthy’ treat to round off the afternoon. Da iawn pawb!
Forest School
In today’s session we thought very carefully about ‘cynefin’ and our sense of belonging and some of the children decided to create a range of bug hotels for our local wildlife to seek sanctuary.
World Book Day
We have had an amazing World Book Day!! We went on a Gruffalo trail hunt to find different characters that were hiding in the Quad. Then we went on a book walk on the field and role-played the story of the Gruffalo. At snack time, we had a lovely book picnic on the yard with some of the older children reading stories to us.
World Book Day 2025
What a fantastic time we had celebrating World Book Day. We took part in a book walk and role-played the story of the ‘Gruffalo’, had a book picnic outside while eating our snacks and had a Gruffalo treasure hunt in the quad.
Finding some specks
As part of our Mantle focussing on Horton hears a Who, we ventured outside to find our own specks that could possibly have its own Who-ville! We used our iPad skills to take pictures zooming into the speck as much as possible.
Rounding to the nearest 10
Children have been working really hard rounding to the nearest ten this week. They have collected natural items such as sticks and they have measured them. They have then rounded their measurements to the nearest 10. We have also used number lines to support our understanding of place value.
Buddhism - Creating Mandalas
In Aderyn Du we have been learning about the religion Buddhism and how Mandalas are a circular figure representing the universe in Buddhist Symbolism. We drew our own designs in class and went outside to create Mandalas using natural materials we could find in the school grounds.
