Chemical Reactions

Learners in Dosbarth Un have been exploring states of matter and how particles in solids, liquids, and gases differ. They acted out these states using their bodies to help visualise these. They then conducted an experiment by mixing bicarbonate soda and vinegar to observe the reaction. The learners made predictions about what might happen and later discussed the chemical reaction they witnessed, explaining the reasons behind it.

Chemical Changes

This week, learners in Dosbarth Un have continued learning about physical and chemical reactions. They listened to the story ‘Let’s Bake a Cake’ and then had the opportunity to bake a cake together to explore the different changes that occur during the baking process. The learners led some excellent discussions throughout. 

Beat and Rhythm

Learners in Dosbarth Un have been learning about beat and rhythm in their Expressive Arts lessons. This week, they worked in pairs and used their previous learning to create their own rhythms with the claves. They expressed likes and dislikes throughout the process and focused on creating a rhythm that was cohesive and engaging. The learners worked particularly hard to follow their rhythm grids carefully and maintain an appropriate pace to stay in time with each other. They then performed their rhythms to the class, and together, they created a whole-class rhythm chain. Bendigedig pawb!

Top Brass Trio

Dosbarth Un had an inspiring opportunity this week to engage in a live musical concert led by the Top Brass Trio. The learners not only discovered a range of facts about brass instruments but also explored basic conducting skills.

Science Workshops

What an excellent day of science workshops led by Fizz Pop! Learners from Reception to Year 4 had a great time today, taking part in the science workshops with learners from Gladestry School. They explored various chemicals, observing fascinating reactions such as bubbling, colour changes, and changes in texture. The learners were even lucky enough to create their own pots of slime to take home! Everyone shared fantastic ideas throughout the day. Bendigedig pawb!
