Dosbarth Un were excited to receive letters back from Santa yesterday. He was very impressed with all of their fantastic writing! Well done Dosbarth Un! 

This week, Dosbarth Un moved onto learning about muscles! Our younger learners got hands-on by using their muscles to perform different exercises. They had great fun discussing which muscles were involved in each activity and how their bodies responded. Meanwhile, others took on the challenge of researching muscle facts and created some great group posters to share. 

We are so proud of our learners who all participated in our performance of our annual Christmas Production! West End Theatre… Watch this space!

Dosbarth Un have been busy learning about the skeleton. This week the learners have been on a welly walk to collect natural materials and then used these to make a skeleton and labelled some of its bones. The learners thought carefully about the size and shape of the sticks they needed for the different types of bones. 

This week, Dosbarth Un explored their sense of taste and took part in an experiment where they described the different flavours they experienced, such as sour, sweet, and salty. The learners were fantastic at thinking of adjectives and guessing what the foods were. 

This week, Dosbarth Un enjoyed a special visit from Pentre Farm. Learners had the opportunity to meet a variety of animals and discover interesting facts about them, including their diets and habitats. A huge thank you to Sam for providing such a valuable and enjoyable experience. We truly appreciate it!

Reception to Year 2 have moved onto learning about their sense of touch and have carried out an experiment where they used it to explore and describe different textures. The learners thought of some great adjectives, such as crunchy and crispy for the snow, and sticky and squidgy for the jelly. Bendigedig pawb!

This week, Reception to Year 2 have explored the sense of smell and carried out an experiment where they guessed the contents of jars based on their scents and described what they could smell. Some scents were particularly strong like the vinegar and mint sauce which made lots of noses twitch! 

This week, Reception to Year 2 have been learning about their senses and the importance of these, beginning with a focus on hearing. The learners went on a sound hunt around the school grounds, working in groups to record their journey with drawings and labels. Today, they ventured further afield on a welly walk to Harley Valley, identifying a variety of sounds along the way, such as leaves rustling, dogs barking, water babbling in the stream, mud squelching, and stones splashing. Next, the learners will collaborate in groups to create a composition of their welly walk journey, choosing their own resources to represent each sound they have chosen, and perform it to the class.

Reception to Year 2 learners had a fantastic experience with ‘Corner Exotics’ today! Simon introduced a range of fascinating animals, giving the learners a chance to learn about and even hold them. He shared lots of interesting facts, and the learners showed great care and bravery handling the animals. It was an enjoyable afternoon for everyone!
