We have been learning about 2D shapes. We went into the garden to make the shapes using the things we found. What shapes can you spot? Do you know how many sides and corners they have?

We had fun learning our tricky words. These words have to be learned by looking at them as we cannot sound them out.

Space Home Tasks

Thank you for completing the home task over the Easter holidays. Here are pictures of us showing each other and talking about what we found out or did.

Our Visit to Techniquest - A Trip to the Moon

We had fun exploring the activities in Techniquest before embarking on our trip to the moon. Here are some of the photographs! Thanks Mums and Dads for allowing us to go at such short notice. We learned lots about the moon and planets. Ask us about it?

Summer Term Topic

Next term our theme will be a Journey through Space!

Could you please try and bring something related to our topic into school. This could be a model you make, a drawing, an object, a book or anything that may be of interest. The children can then talk about it to the rest of the class.

Just a reminder that there is an inset day on the 12th April but we will re-open on Tuesday 13th April.

We look forward to seeing you then! Have a great holiday!
Many Thanks
Mrs Fraser & Miss Pennington

Easter Bonnet Parade

Unfortunately it was too wet to walk around our village to show off our bonnets so here they are. A huge thank you to everyone for their hard work. I think you will agree they are all fantastic. Have a great Easter!

Fifi and Superman were some of our models!

Sculpture in Art

We have been learning about sculpture in art with Miss Hatch. Here we are drawing and making our own sculptures. Can you see what they are making?

What a tower!

Brooklyn and Jacob were very keen to show us the tower they made.

Threading Numbers

Ieuan used our threading numbers and was able to get up to the number 25. I don't think he had any more room on the string! Well done Ieuan!

Numbers to 100

Lucy was able to write her numbers to 100 today! Well done Lucy!

Road Safety

We learned about Road Safety in school. We all now know how to cross the road safely.

St David's Day Concert

Just a reminder to please wear welsh costumes on Monday. Hope you enjoy the concert.

Visit to the Library

We enjoyed our visit so much we didn't want to leave. We would all like to visit more often.

Visit to the Library

We visited the library. We found out how to join for free.

Our Invention Models

We have been making our inventions using recycled waste. Thanks to you all for bringing them in. Ask us what invention we made? There was a hair trimmer, a gobbledegoop, a twirly wirly and even a nose wiper. They were fabulous and the children really enjoyed planning and designing their models.

Having fun with paint

We have been having fun with Miss Hatch using different object dipped in paint to make marks. This will help us with making some clay tiles later in the term.

Letter formation with a difference

We are making letters from the things we find in the garden. This helps us to remember what the letters look like.

Jack and the Beanstalk

Here we are at the Parc & Dare Theatre enjoying eating our sweets before the show starts!

We really enjoyed watching Jack and the Beanstalk even though some of us were a little scared of the giant!

St Davids Day Photos

A photographer will be here on Tuesday to take St David's Day photos. Please remember to wear your costumes!

We will also be collecting any donations for the recent devastating Haiti Earthquake.

Your son/daughter has chosen a book from our school library to share at home. Could you please ensure that books are looked after and returned every Friday. New books will be issued every Monday.

Thanks
Mrs Fraser

I will put a timetable outside my classroom door for you to look at on Monday if anyone needs a reminder of the times.

Look forward to seeing you then.

Our theme this term is 'Our Powerful World' and this week we have read the book 'Professor Puffendorf's Secret Potions'.

We decided to think of our own potions and went on a walk around the school to find some ingredients.

We made potions that could make you fly, turn you into famous footballers and dance like ballerinas!

We are matching lower case letters to capital letters.

We can play musical instruments in our music area. Cameron is the conductor today and Emily is following his instructions.

We have our own doctors surgery.

We can ask how are you in welsh. Beth sy'n bod?

We went on a walk around our school to find out what features are around our school.

We saw a river, mountains, houses and a bridge.

When we got back to class we drew a map of where we went.

We have been learning about 3D shapes.

Ask us to tell you how to describe the shape?

We went on a trip to find Santa at Rhondda Heritage Park.

We went underground to try and find him.

Logan found a note on our way and we ended up in Santa's bedroom!

He was hiding in his wardrobe!

All our names were on the 'good child list' so Santa gave us a present!

We made our Christmas tree decorations and then decorated our class tree.

Our Christmas Concert
