We're going on a minibeast hunt......

We had a fantastic afternoon going on a mini-beast hunt. We thought carefully about the different mini beasts that we may be lucky to find on the school field and all of the micro-habitats that they may live in.

Summer Term Planning

This week we have been visited by Colin the Caterpillar. He was very sad as his friend had told him that he wasn’t always going to be a caterpillar.

As the children were familiar with the story ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ they were able to reassure Colin that he would become a beautiful butterfly.

Colin asked the children if they could create symmetrical portraits of what he may look like when he becomes a butterfly. Here are some of the butterfly paintings…..

This challenge acted as a fantastic stimulus to help the children mind map their ideas for what they want to learn in the Summer term for our topic ‘Amazing Animals’

We played yard games outside, such as ‘cath, cath, ci’ and ‘Mae Siemon yn dweud’

We made St David’s Day cards to send to members of our family.

We completed activities on Hwb and some mindfulness activities relating to St. David’s Day.

World Book Day!

Dosbarth Eryr and Dosbarth Gwennol have enjoyed celebrating World Book Day by reading the story ‘we’re going on a bear hunt’ by Michael Rossen.

After we read the story, we all went on a bear hunt on the field.

We then thought carefully about the equipment that we would need if we were to go on a bear hunt again. We chose 5 items and we listed them.

We made a story map to help us retell the story. We collected natural materials to help us make our story map.
