We have had lovely weather and very busy time during the month with a number of visitors coming to us and a number of off site visits as well.
Dosbarth Eigiau have been learning about heroes just like Swper Taten and people who help us. As part of the theme they were looking for tall and short buildings in the local area. They have also started to learn about space and have the opportunity to imitate Van Gogh's work 'Starry Night', have been learning about shadows and learning to count backwards ......5,4,3,2,1, 0!
Dosbarth Crafnant have new members in the class - 5 very hungry caterpillars that have doubled in size in a week! We look forward to seeing them grow bigger before seeing them turn into a beautiful butterflies. The children have also been working in their flower shop outside the classroom and creating products and signs to sell in it.
In Dosabrth Melynllyn their learning has been focused on the Llanrwst Show and as a result the children wanted to learn about different cheeses from around the world. They had the opportunity one afternoon to taste and judge cheese and also to create a database about the countries the cheese originated from, about the weight of each cheese and how much fat the cheese contained. Some were much smellier than the others too! They have also been continuing to receive rugby sessions and have developed excellent teamwork skills.
Jwls Williams from Oriel Mostyn came over to Dosbarth Dulyn to hold an Art workshop and the children had the opportunity to learn and experiment with a variety of techniques. The children also had the opportunity to receive a workshop about the Migneint and following that they created pictures by sewing textiles together to represent the land and the sea .
Dosbarth Geirionydd has been very busy during the term. They had the opportunity to take part in a First Aid workshop and members of the Red Cross praised them for such a positive attitude and effort. Year 6 children took part in the Cricket festival in Llanrwst and Year 5/6 had the opportunity to visit Bangor University to learn about Religion, Values and Ethics. They also received a particularly valuable session on Safe Swimming in the sea at Porth Eirias and to finish the month some took part in the Dyffryn Conwy Rugby Festival .
The children who attended the Area Games must also be praised for their effort and attitude in the competition and in such hot weather! We look forward to the rest of the term which will include a school sports day, visits for all classes and of course the Farewell Service and Visit for Year 6.
