Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about living and non-living things and had fun on a welly walk this week searching for these around the village. We found lots of living things, such as the trees, flowers and animals, and lots of non-living things like bins, cars and houses. Great searching everyone!

Wow! Dosbarth Miss Powell would love to start every week with Mid Wales Opera. Learners composed and sang different recitatives, we also learned an aria from ‘The Bird Catcher’s Song from The Magic Flute by Mozart.

Visit from Sophie
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been lucky enough to have a visit from Sophie this week who spent some time living in India. Prior to Sophie’s visit, in class we have learnt about what questions are, why we ask them and how to write them. The learners created some brilliant questions of their own to ask Sophie so that they could find out more information about India and about her experience of living there. Some of the learners worked as a group to create some questions together and other learners typed their own questions up on the computer. We would like to say a big thank you to Sophie for very kindly coming in!

Daal
Learners in Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been busy this week learning about traditional Indian foods and how India has impacted on food available in the United Kingdom. We have read the story’ Bilal Cooks Daal’ and then worked together to make some of our own red lentil dahl to taste. We talked about and smelt the spices and observed the changes in the ingredients when they were heated.
Special Buildings
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about the Taj Mahal. Some of the learners co-constructed their own success criteria based on the features of the Taj Mahal, to then use to create their own special buildings with their chosen materials. The younger learners also did a brilliant job of constructing their own special buildings using various materials they found around the classroom and outdoors.
