The Size of Wales workshop - Maint Cymru!
Today Year 3 & 4 were visited by Elin from The Size of Wales to deliver a workshop about rainforests and climate change. We have been working on rainforests within our mantle so a lot of the information felt familiar to us. We learnt more about the issues with the ingredient ‘palm oil’ and how our day-to-day lives can impact of the tropical rainforests.
Did you know that tropical rainforests that equal 9 times the size of Wales are cut down every year? We can make small changes to help with this, such as buying a Fairtrade product once a week, baking at home (who knew baking could save lives?) using sustainable ingredients etc. And if you see this symbol on the products, even better! Let us know if you find one, it is apparently quite elusive!
Eisteddfod Dydd Gŵyl Dewi

Croeso i Jac-y-Do
I am hoping everyone had a great first week back.
We created a music playlist for golden time. It s the first time ever that the music choices reflected what parents listen to. Myself and Mrs George were loving the choices. I think we were more excited than the children.
READING BOOKS
Children are allowed to change their books once finished. It does not matter what day this is and we are encouraging them to become more independent. We expect children to read at least three times a week with an adult at home. The yellow reading record needs to be signed at least three times to show this. We will check this every Tuesday. Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
