Ffair yr Nadolig ac arian!
Our Christmas products are coming along nicely but how much should we sell them for…?
Excel was the chosen software to help us decide. The formulas are often difficult to remember, even for adults, but some remembered the work they completed with Miss Jeakings earlier in the term.
Christmas Fayre preparations! Ffair’r Nadolig!
Mrs Rimmer started the day with Christmas songs in assembly and our very own Christmas Elf (Miss Bunn) has been in to help us make products for the Christmas Fayre! 2 weeks to go…!
Which type of structure? Pa fath o structure?
We’re almost ready to design our skyscrapers but first we need to know what types of structures there are. They’re all quite wordy and full of technical descriptions so we’ve had a go at building little models that represent the different types of structures, for example; braced frame, rigid frame, wall-frame, shear wall, core and outrigger, infilled frame, flat plate & flat slab, tube and coupled.
Bwrw eira!
Children in Need
Today our School Council decided we would celebrate Children in Need. Pupils and staff made donations to wear non-uniform.
Recount writing!
Barcud Coch have been working hard on a Friday afternoon to complete an extended write! Last week they completed a cold write (no help at all) to recount an investigation they carried out. We then studied recount texts and looked for the features they need. Following on from this, we looked at specific sentence structures and time connective we could use to develop our writing!

Big Questions with Mr Meredith (Diocesan Director of Education) RVE 07/11/24
We worked with Mr Meredith, looking at a piece of art work by Romola Parish, called ‘Wilderness’
We discussed how the image made us feel and then tried to answer the following questions:-
Where are you standing in relation to the picture? Are you in it, or an observer, watching what is going on?
Which do you relate to- the bird or the sheep? Can you think why you feel more like one, or less like the other?
Earthquake simulator
We wanted to establish which shape base was the strongest for skyscrapers. We decided to build models of skyscrapers using LEGO and K’nex and then use LEGO We Do to create an earthquake simulator. We placed the models on the simulator to test how robust they were. Unfortunately the models were either too heavy for the simulator to move or too tall to stand upright on the simulator! We tried it on the table and carpet in the hope that the amount of friction would help, it didn’t. One of our class members thought to attach a LEGO plate as a base for the models to stand on, this didn’t work either!
