Thursday 6th May
We have been having a wonderful time with our topic "Are carrots orange?". Dosbarth Oren have asked so many questions and thought of activities they'd like to explore - so today we were answering one of their question "What makes a seed grow?" by planting sunflower seeds.

Monday 26th April/"
Dosbarth Glas has had a super start to the term. Our topic is "Are carrots orange?" and they are enjoying planting veg and having stories such as "Oliver's vegetables".
Our words of the week are: a, yes, play, away, it, can.
Our sound of the week is 'or'.
It is still a little chilly in the mornings, especially if we visit the woods, so can children please bring a coat.

We had a lovely walk aound Llantrisant today, taking in the sites - we even had time for a play in the park. We are lucky to have such an interesting place to live in. The children were a credit - listening to everything and excellent behaviour. Da iawn bawb.

Welcome back after half term. We are now in the final half term of this year! How time is flying! The chldren have started on our topic "Love where you live". We will be basing our topic around the book "We're going on a bear hunt".
The children ehave been telling us what they love about school today! What lovely answers they had!
The warmer weather is coming (hopefully!) so please apply sun cream to your child before school, send in a hat (clearly labelled with their name), and of course, a water bottle. We encourage drinking water during class times and playtimes. Squash can only be drunk with their lunch.

Monday 8th April
We started our STEM week today (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths). The children had lots of fun melting chocolate and pouring into moulds to make chocolate eggs, inflating balloons using baking powder and discovering if everyday items sink or float.
Why not test yourselves:
Does a crayon sink or float?
Does a wooden clothes peg sink or float?
Does an elastic band sink or float?
Try it out at home - It's lots of fun!
Don't forget you are invited into class on Thursday 11th April, 2.30pm to find out what the children have been doing this week. We look forward to showing you all our learning experiences.

The children are having lots of fun with out theme "Read me a Story"
This week's book is "Jack and the Beanstalk". The children have started it off by making a junk model beanstalk (we knew collecting all those paper towel tubes would come in useful one day!), and using adjectives to describe the main characters. We have looked at bean seeds and compared them to the pee seeds from a couple of weeks ago. We are so pleased the children remember what a seed needs to grow, and they have asked to plant bean seeds to grow our own beanstalks! Let's hope they are magic
The book for this week is "The Three Billy Goats Gruff"
The children have been very enthusiastic about our books. At the start of the topic we asked the children what books they would like to read (pupil voice), and they are enjoying finding out on a Monday morning what the book for the week is!

After listening to the story several times we have been able to retell the main parts of the story and ask and answer questions. We have been counting the mattresses the queen put on the bed - numbers up to 20!
We have had lots of fun planting peas, building the princesses bed out of duplo, drawing and painting peas and pea shoots. We have also buried peas in the sand and have been exploring how to get them back out with sieves!

This week the children have been learning all about shadows. Here we are comparing our shadows in the school yard. We have also been continuing to learn about Autumn and investigating our surroundings. Indoor fun this week has been taking part in 'Disco Dough'. This is an activity that helps strengthen the muscles in the children's fingers in preparation for writing.

'Supermarket'
This term our topic is 'Supermarket'. We enjoyed our class trip to Tesco where we were lucky enough to learn all about the day to day running of the store.
We even went behind the scenes and visited the warehouse.

Here we are in the bakery. This was one of our favourite areas we watched Matthew the baker make bread. We were lucky enough to taste bread and doughnuts.
We also went in the freezer but as you can imagine we didn't stay in there too long. We saw the fish monger who very kindly showed us the different types of fish.
A big thank you to everyone at Tesco especially to Paula who made us all feel very welcome.
Science Week
The children have enjoyed participating in a number of science activities this week. Where possible we have linked the activities with our topic 'Supermarket'.
We tested bags to see which ones were waterproof. We experimented with cress and learnt what plants need in order to grow and be healthy.
Some dinosaurs some how got frozen in water so we had to find out which was the quickest way to free them.
The most popular science experiment was to make bread. We made the bread with Mrs Chau and found out what was needed to make the bread rise and taste nice.
The children really enjoyed having the parents coming in and experiencing what they had learnt. We even set them some challenges.

Our shopping trip to the local store.
We had lots of fun visiting the Bull Ring stores. A big thank you to Dai for being so kind and patient with us. We have been reinforcing the value of the different coins. Please could you continue to do this at home. Have a lovely half term everyone. |
A walk in the woods
We have been exploring in the woods and have collected natural things, such as leaves, sticks and moss. We then made crowns. Some of the children made patterns using all the natural objects.

'Dens and Dandelions'.
This term our topic is 'Dens and Dandelions'. The project has a forest skills and science focus which teaches the children about plants, flowers, trees and creatures found in a woodland habitat. The topic involves us spending a lot of time outside so fingers crossed for good weather. If anyone has any resources they feel would be useful to our topic they would be gratefully received. Keep checking the page for regular updates and pictures showing the children hard at work. Reminders * Please provide your child with a drink of water and a piece of fruit for afternoon play. * P.E.day is a Friday please provide your child with the appropriate kit (leggings/joggers, shorts and t-shirt). * Reading - Please make sure all reading folders are returned to school on a Wednesday. |
