Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have used their knowledge and understanding of materials and their properties gained from their previous Science and Technology lessons, to work in small groups to find ‘good’ and ‘bad’ materials for building a house with (a real house or a strong toy house). The learners talked about the reasons for their choices and shared these with their peers.

We read the story of the ‘Three Little Pigs’ and tested the three materials the pigs used to find out whether they were ‘good’ or ‘bad’ choices to build a house with and why. To finish off, the learners then sorted some more materials, such as concrete, slate and wool, working within groups.

Diolch! Thank you!

Thank you to all our parents who joined us this week to celebrate our Harvest Festival. We are very proud of our learners, up on stage for the first time this year…For some, the first time ever!

Huge thank you to all the donations towards the food bank. Upcoming post to detail more about that!

Dosbarth Miss Powell were challenged this morning to test the properties of paper. Learners worked in groups to set up the enquiries.

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been busy on the building site during their own planning time. The learners have made some amazing structures using their imagination, such as tunnels, bungalows, aeroplanes and cars. The learners have also shown great team work when working together to construct these. Well done Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne! 

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been on a material hunt around our classroom and in our outdoor area to see where we could spot the materials we have been learning about.

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about George Seurat. To begin with, the learners practised and experimented with using pointillism before moving onto creating their own final pieces of art linked to our theme of ‘rivers’. The learners have created some amazing artwork that they would like to share with you all!
