In DCF, we have started looking at coding. We used Sphero Bots and programmed them using our coding knowledge to stay within the tracks. We had lots of fun!
Sphero Coding!
Eco Assembly
Tom from the Community Centre kindly came into talk to the children about growing their own vegetables. We are hopefully going to start planting our own vegetables at school, working with Tom. The Eco Council then took Tom for a tour around the school, looking at potential spaces to create a planting patch.
Easter Gardens
We have been learning why Christians celebrate Easter. Today we learned about Easter Sunday. Following the story we made Easter gardens on plates. We have included crosses, the tomb, a path and flowers.
Song of Children's Rights
Children from Year 2 upwards have been learning a special song about the rights of children.
1940's Tea Party
The children have really enjoyed planning and preparing for their 1940’s themed party. Special thanks to Louise Hardwick for baking with the children, staff and volunteers and parents for supporting the event.
Sensory Circuits
Today, the children took calculated risks, concentrated, worked cooperatively together and had lots of fun.
World Book Day
On Thursday we welcomed Judith and Gilles to share a story with us about the ‘Legend of the whistling tree’ . They read the story in English, Welsh and French. We really enjoyed finding out about the French legend.
We also looked at the story of Handa’s Suprise and we completed a variety of activities based on the story.
St. David's Day
We have enjoyed a variety of activities to celebrate St. David’s Day. We sung our hearts out to ‘Dydd Cofio Dewi Sant’ and ‘Yma o Hyd’, we read some Welsh stories and we played ‘Trap Llygodyn’ and ‘Faint o’r gloch ydy Mister Blaidd?’
Pyjama Drama
We enjoyed another great Pyjama session last week with Louise. We created a story about being evacuee children and we thought carefully about some of the games that they would have played.
Dyed Gwyl Dewi
We enjoyed making Welsh cakes.
We weighed, mixed and fried our cakes.
