Clay

We had to plan our artefacts, based on the research we have completed. Next we had to calculate how much clay each pupil could have.

“Ew, I don’t like the feeling of this clay!”

“It’s a bit like Bake Off, isn’t it?!”

“I didn’t realise we could smooth it with our hands!”

Remembrance

I am so proud of all the children this week with their mature approach to learning about Remembrance.  They listened carefully and thought of sensible discussion points.  We discussed the significance of the poppy and looked at ‘Poppy Fields’ Vincent Van Gogh and the children created their own versions.

Online Safety

Today, we had a visit from PC Viv. She taught us lots about how to keep safe online and about age limits for apps and games. We had a very informative and useful discussion. Well done to all the children for getting involved and sharing their knowledge on this topic!

Stop-frame animation

 

Cnoc y coed have been working towards creating a stop-frame animation about drovers. They started by creating a story board, then moulded characters out of plasticine. They are using artwork they have previously created as backgrounds for their museum exhibit.

It’s pain-staking work…you need approximately 120 photos for a 10 second film! They have also written a script for the film; we’re hoping we can merge them with the film, that might be a little optimistic- we’ll see!
