We had a great time at the music workshop with Jim! We listened to him playing his instruments and loved playing the boom whackers!
PC Ainsworth
The children had a special visit from PC Ainsworth. They discussed the importance of staying safe online
Folk Dancing
Children have loved practising their dance skills and learning some Welsh folk dancing!
Remembrance
I am so proud of all the children this week with their mature approach to learning about Remembrance. They listened carefully and thought of sensible discussion points. We discussed the significance of the poppy and looked at ‘Poppy Fields’ Vincent Van Gogh and the children created their own versions.
Sliders and levers
The children created their own picture book with moving parts to depict the story of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’
Celebrating Diwali!
Children celebrated the Hindu Festival of Light. They read and acted out the story of Rama and Sita, made diva lama, lanterns, decorations and created their own Diwali dance.
Online Safety
Today, we had a visit from PC Viv. She taught us lots about how to keep safe online and about age limits for apps and games. We had a very informative and useful discussion. Well done to all the children for getting involved and sharing their knowledge on this topic!
Stop-frame animation
Cnoc y coed have been working towards creating a stop-frame animation about drovers. They started by creating a story board, then moulded characters out of plasticine. They are using artwork they have previously created as backgrounds for their museum exhibit.
It’s pain-staking work…you need approximately 120 photos for a 10 second film! They have also written a script for the film; we’re hoping we can merge them with the film, that might be a little optimistic- we’ll see!

Maths Enrichment Day with an Eco focus!
We worked in Mantle groups to come up with ideas for selling items on a stall at a Victorian Fayre, with a focus on eco-friendly products and an awareness of carbon footprints! We tried to make sure that our products were locally sourced and that we used recycled materials where possible. We had to try and make a profit! We calculated the cost of rent, wages, materials and advertising amongst other things and then took these costs away from our total of items that would need to be sold to see whether we had made a profit or loss!
