Maps of New Radnor

Dosbarth Un have been exploring their local area. The learners went on a welly walk to identify significant features of New Radnor, discussing their importance and how they contribute to a sense of belonging within the community. Using the photographs they took during the walk, the learners created their own maps of New Radnor. Some learners drew their maps, while others worked in a group using resources of their choice to design their map collaboratively. Everyone carefully considered the appearance of the significant features, including their size, colour and position. Bendigedig Dosbarth Un!

St Dwynwen's Day

Dosbarth Un had a lovely time celebrating St Dwynwen’s Day last week. We read the story of St Dwynwen and discussed why St Dwynwen’s day is celebrated in Wales. We made delicious heart biscuits to share together and decorated some hearts to create a school display.

Muscles

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. 

Skeleton

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. 

Recycling Pens

The Eco-Committee have been busy weighing and parcelling up the pens ready for a collection. We are pleased to announce that we have collected 23.36kg to send off to be recycled. From this, we will earn charity points to donate to our chosen charity ‘BBC Children in Need’! We would like to thank everyone for supporting us with this; please continue to bring in any used writing instruments and spread the word that we are a public drop off point for these. 

New Binoculars

Check out our new binoculars for our Forest School area! The Eco-Committee have purchased these with some of the money raised from our second-hand clothing sale. The learners are looking forward to using them!
