Learning about our Local Area

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning all about their local area. The children located different places in New Radnor on Google maps and then went on a Welly Walk to explore the local area.

 

 

The children then worked in groups to recreate the local area using junk. They used the photos that they took on the welly walk to help them.

The children made models of the School, Church, 2 houses and Sharon’s Shop!

Welly Walk

This week in Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne’s class the children looked for colours in Smatcher wood with Mrs Dinsdale. Before the children left they predicted how many colours from their colour wheel they would see. The children thought they would find between 2 and 6 colours. They were surprised to find there was actually 9 different colours in leaves, berries, flowers and toadstools!


Vegetable Boxes

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis and dosbarth Miss Powell have grown vegetables over the summer and have made veggie boxes to sell, to raise money to invest in their garden area.

Each box includes carrots, parsnips and beetroots. Da iawn bawb.

Funny bones

This week Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning all about their bodies. The children made skeletons out of cotton buds. We had lots of different skeletons, some were dancing, some were singing and some were even jumping!

Rainforest Art

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis and Dosbarth Miss Powell have been creating a rainforest in the classroom. The children researched animals that live in the Indonesian rainforest. They then decided on an animal that they wanted to draw and used oil pastels, to give them colour.

 

The animals will be added to our rainforest display in the classroom.

Welcome Back

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis introduced dosbarth Miss Powell to team building games. The aim is to get as much water from one bucket, across the playground into another bucket, using only sponges and two drainpipes.

All groups worked well in their teams, listening to each other and sharing roles.

Da iawn bawb!

Iogo Cymru

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis became health and well-being teachers this week. The class sorted themselves into small groups and each group picked a yoga position from the Welsh yoga board in the playground.

First task was to use the ipads to translate the instructions from Welsh to English.

Each group then learnt how to do their yoga position before teaching it to the rest of the class.
