Another busy week of learning across our wonderful school. Here are a few snippets…
Dosbarth Celyn held their Show and See event on Tuesday. The children were so proud to be able to showcase their talents and learn together with their parents. It was fantastic to see so many families supporting the event to help create some wonderful memories.
Dosbarth Hywen and Dosbarth Onnen visited the St Fagans Museum of Welsh Life this week. The visit was focused on creating documentaries about the Rhyd y Car terraced houses, painting a picture using technology of how life has changed through the last century. The work is part of their exciting cross curricular project, using a history focus to develop literacy and numeracy skills and digital competence. The children created some wonderful pieces of work and were a real credit to their families and school. Da iawn pawb!
Nursery had a lovely St Valentines Day and celebrated by making ‘Jammy Hearts’ with bread and jam, heart hats and finished off with some disco dancing! A good time had by all.
Dosbarth Bedwen enjoyed a ‘creative day’ on Tuesday linked to their St Fagans project. They produced some wonderful miniature figures dressed in period costume and designed and created their own Welsh tartan using mini weaving looms.
