We have been learning about seed germination and have carried out an experiment to explore this over the last few weeks. We made predictions, observations and communicated our findings.

This week we have been busy on a minibeast hunt as part of our maths lesson on collecting data. We managed to find a range of minibeasts hiding and made a tally of these to plot onto a graph and answer questions on.

We have been learning about Andy Warhol and have created some minibeast prints based on his work.

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis a Dosbarth Miss Powell have been busy this week getting the garden ready for planting vegetables. The children worked in teams to clear the beds. They pulled up dead flowers, (being careful of the bulbs so we can replant next year) and removed all the weeds.

We will be planting our vegetables very soon!

Blwyddyn 5 a 6 had a fantastic three days on residential at Tregoyd House. We had the opportunity to take part in Abseiling, Fencing, Sensory Trail, Aeroball, Raft building, Zip Wire and Archery. Followed by evening entertainment; marshmallows and songs around the campfire and hide and seek.

Last year Dosbarth Mrs Curtis and Dosbarth Miss Powell planted wildflowers, the children then collected the seeds from these flowers. This morning we have planted the seeds in our pots, we are excited to see the flowers grow and attract insects.

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis had an early start on Thursday morning travelling in style, on a VIP bus to Swansea. First stop was the Dylan Thomas theatre to see the play, ‘Arandora Star’. Where we learnt all about Welsh/Italians living in south Wales during WW2 and how they were treated during this time. This was followed by a question and answer session with the cast.

After lunch we had a quick walk around the waterfront, before going to the Waterfront Museum to take part in a WW2 workshop.

Dosbarth Miss Powell and dosbarth Mrs Curtis went on a welly walk during their Health and Well-being session this week. We all enjoyed being able to get out and explore our local area.
