Dosbarth 1

Dosbarth Un had a very exciting morning today! As part of their China theme this term, the learners enjoyed tasting a variety of Chinese foods and discussed how China has influenced the food available in the United Kingdom. The learners also had great fun practising how to use chopsticks after watching a step-by-step video. It was tricky, but they showed fantastic perseverance and determination throughout! Next, the learners will be carrying out tallying before using the information to record, represent and interpret data in different ways to find out which Chinese foods were the most liked and least liked.

Blwyddyn 5 a Blwyddyn 6 had fun using the periscopes that were created as part of our previous DT learning sequence, applying our understanding light.
