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.
