Another Pupil Voice activity! The children have been designing pirate flags to kick start our new topic! How brilliant are these!
Dosbarth Melyn were asked what activities they wanted to do in relation to our new topic so today we made compasses in the craft area!
Each compass looks very different as there were no instructions given on how to make them!

A visit from the fire service
We had a visit from the Pontyclun Fire Service recently. They came to tell us how to stay safe at home and that we should never play with matches.
We had a story, then the firemen challenged Mrs Cushion to get dressed into the Fire fighters kit as quickly as she could!
It was really funny!!!

take a look at our map sticks
We have be learning about how the indigenous people from north america made maps sticks of their journeys. They documented the routes they took by picking up remainders of the things they saw along their journey. They then attached the items to a their sticks.
We made our own map sticks as we took a journey around our school. We wrapped leaves, differnt coloured wools, sticks, reeds, and flowers which represented the differnt locations as we went on our journey. We then used our sticks to help us discribed our journey to the rest of the class.

fantastic news we helped raise £220 for comic relief.
Thank you everyone!

Spring Term
Our new topic this term is 'Commumnity Explorers' we had a great walk around Llantrisant village exploring lots of little cobbled streets and walk ways. There are lots of very old bulidings in the village, we talked about them and their purpose. Here are some of our photographs.
The 'Make Your House' homework has been a huge success, many thanks to everyone who's helped. The houses look fantastic! You will be able to see them all when we do our assembly on Friday 17th Februray.
