Dosbarth Mrs Curtis and dosbarth Miss Powell have been busy gardening this week. First we had to weed the beds, before planting bulbs ready for the spring.
We are looking forward to seeing all the flowers grow.
On Wednesday PC Viv came into school and spoke to Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne about keeping safe. The children talked about safe places to play and the dangers of unsafe places. 
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne went stick and stone collecting on our welly walk up Smatcher, and then used these to make skeletons in our groups. 
For our art lesson this week, dosbarth Mrs Curtis introduced dosbarth Miss Powell to “Draw with Rob”. We followed Rob Biddulph’s step by step video of how to draw a stegosaurus called ‘Gregosaurus’.
Dosbarth Mrs Curtis, then picked another animal to draw.
Gwaith anhygoel pawb.
Dosbarth Mrs Curtis had a fantastic day at Hay Festival. We saw three authors, talk about their new books, then had the opportunity to meet them and get books signed.
First we saw Onjail Q Rauf, talk about her new book: The lion above the door.
Next we saw Rob Biddulph and his book Peanut Jones and the illustrated city. We all joined in with a draw with rob session, having a go at drawing Doodle the dog.
The last author we saw, was Emma Carroll talk about her new book: The week at world’s end.
On Monday the man from Corner Exotics came to our class and showed us lots of exotic animals. We had the opportunity to hold a tarantula, a chameleon, a giant frog, some snakes, a scorpion, a hedgehog and a chinchilla. We had so much fun but also learnt lots of interesting facts. Some of the children overcame their fears of snakes and spiders once they had the hands on experience with the animals and insects.
What a fabulous morning the children had!
Over the week Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have carried out a variety of experiments to explore our senses.
We smelt a variety of things including mint, vinegar, perfume and orange.
We tried lemon, chocolate, salty popcorn, jam and cheese puffs. The lemon was very sour!
Dosbarth Mrs Curtis have been using the Lego WeDo sets and app, to make Milo the Science Rover. We then added a motion sensor, that will be used to detect the presence of a corpse flower in the Indonesian rainforest.
Once our Science Rovers were built, we used the Lego WeDo app to program the rovers to stop and sound an alarm when it found the corpse flower.
Dosbarth Mrs Curtis and dosbarth Miss Powell have been looking at Henri Rousseau, and his painting; Tiger in a tropical storm (Surprised).
We have been using this painting as inspiration, to produce our own ‘Synnu’ art work.
They all look amazing!
