Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been lucky enough to have another visit from Lynsey this week who introduced us to playing the drums using different hand movements. We also continued our learning of beat and rhythm. 

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been out making the most of the glorious weather on our welly. This week we have linked it to our learning in our Mathematics and Numeracy lessons and went on an odd and even number hunt around the village. 

As part of our shape topic in Maths and numeracy this term, we have been focusing on angles. This week we made the most out of our outdoor space and observed the different types of angles all around us. We then moved on to calculating missing angles within triangles.

This term dosbarth Miss Powell are reading “The Race to the Frozen North” by Catherine Johnson. We had another fantastic opportunity to meet the author and ask questions.

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been celebrating ‘Empathy Day’. The learners did a brilliant job of making their own empathy glasses to recognise empathy in various scenarios and to practise being empathetic themselves. We also listened to the story ‘My Beautiful Voice’ and discussed where empathy was shown in this. 

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about time within our Mathematics and Numeracy lessons. The learners engaged well within a range of activities to help with their understanding of this.

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have had a lovely morning on our welly walk to Harley Valley where the learners did a great job of recording their river safety video. 

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been making the most of this wonderful sunshine with phonics outside and have been working hard to write the sounds they have been learning.  

Dosbarth Miss Powell and Dosbarth Mrs Smith had a fantastic day at the Hay Festival. We went to talks from Dr Ranj, Bear Grylls and Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock.

Thank you to Mrs Dinsdale who applied for a transport grant that enabled this trip to be FREE for all learners!

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about why rivers are important and what we can do to protect them. The learners worked in groups to create posters on how to help save our rivers to share in an assembly with the rest of the school. Bendigedig Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne, you’ve highlighted some important actions we can take to help protect our rivers!
